Usage of `ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT`

[alihoda]

Proposed functionality

It seems that netbox v4.1.x can use a system parameter called ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT, but I can not find it in the netbox helm chart.

Use case

For deployment environment where there is no internet connection, RSS feed panel in netbox dashboard cause delay in dashboard loading time.

This is also something we are looking for. I tried an different way to disable this but I am unable to deploy netbox at all if do something like written helm chart - change default dashboard - disable RSSFeedWidget #18216

Thanks for filing this issue, @alihoda.
You can add any additional NetBox parameters using the values extraConfig.
For instance:

extraConfig:
  - values:
      ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT: true

If you feel it's relevant to actually add this option explicitly in the chart, don't hesitate to open a pull request with this addition.

@salcinad Your use case is correct, you simply need to be careful about the extraConfig templating. The extra config is expected to be provided as a valid YAML.
For example:

extraConfig:
  - values:
      DEFAULT_DASHBOARD:
        - {}

Seems like this ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT is only for index page (first page after calling netbox UI) and not for whole netbox. Now the login page is immediatly there, before there was an delay.

 NetBox News 
This RSS feed requires an external connection. Check the ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT setting. 

, once logged, there is a delay and we still have this message again, and when navigating through netbox and clicking on top left cornet to go to homepage, it is again slow/delay.

NetBox News 
 There was a problem fetching the RSS feed: HTTPConnectionPool(host='netbox.dev', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /rss/ (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fc869b1c800>, 'Connection to netbox.dev timed out. (connect timeout=3)')) 

So seems I need to change Dashboard to, which I hope will be same for all User. I also commented this in discussion thread.
