Container housekeeping and worker always restart

[boospy]

Hello all :)

Used Netbox Version: 4.4.1

I use netbox-docker since some years on an Ubuntu-Server. Actual version 24.04 LTS. Netbox is “still” working. But two containers are not running properly:

• netbox-netbox-housekeeping-1 → Image docker.io/netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
• netbox-netbox-worker-1 → netboxcommunity/netbox:latest-ldap

The error message in housekeeping is:
[FATAL tini (7)] exec /opt/netbox/housekeeping.sh failed: No such file or directory

I have already tried to locate the file here. But apparently it is no longer available in the current Netbox version.

In "latest-ldap" I get this error message:

File "/opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/configuration.py", line 71, in <module>
   _loaded_configurations = read_configurations(

   _import(f"{config_module}.{main_config}", main_config_path, loaded_configurations)

   self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module)

Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that I should have always updated the Dockerfile during Netbox updates. If I do a "git pull", a lot of file were overwritten. I have attached the two versions of docker-compose.yml. One is the version I use, and the other is the new one.

I spent many hours playing around with the up2date version. After switching to PGSQL 15, I can start netbox, and it seems to work, but the containers are not healthy, and you usually have to restart the containers manually.

I have also tried updating PGSQL to version 17 several times, but every time I do a PGDUMP, there is only 4k. Which is strange, because when I list the DB, I see the DB with the name Netbox.

But anyway. My question is, what do I need to do to get back to a working software version without errors?

Thank you very much :)

I have the same problem but this explains it: netbox-community/netbox#18349

See this post: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/releases/tag/3.4.0
"Removed the housekeeping container that is not needed with NetBox 4.4.0"

Thank you very much. You're right, the container is no longer needed. I deleted the container and deleted the affected section in Compose.
I was also able to fix the LDAP part. This extra image is also no longer needed, as LDAP is already included in the default. For documentation purposes and for other users who may have the same problem, I have attached my two compose files.
Next, I need to find out why all LDAP users can log in to netbox, even though they are not in the “netbox” group. But first I need to debug it.
