What is returned when you do an HTTP GET to http://192.168.XXX.XX:8000/api/status |

Command on Netbox server: Command on Ubuntu desktop: Command on Kali box: It shows port 8000 is closed but on Netbox is open: https://nmap.org/book/man-port-scanning-basics.html closed I followed the installation from 'https://netboxlabs.com/blog/getting-started-with-network-automation-netbox-ansible/' Command on Netbox server: Commands on Ubuntu box: ubuntu:/opt/netbox$ curl -v -k -H "Authorization: Token REDACTED" https://192.168.XXX.XX:8000/api/status/ Based on this I tried the following formats on the netbox_inventory.yml: Option 1#plugin: netbox.netbox.nb_inventory ubuntu:/opt/netbox$ ansible-inventory -vvvv --list Option 2# :/opt/netbox$ export NETBOX_TOKEN=REDACTED :/opt/netbox$ ansible-inventory -vvvv --list And what do you mean by ''Can you try applying #1111 ?' ? also what is see is that it loads the following collection '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible_collections/netbox/netbox', but I have defined 'ansible collection location = /opt/netbox/collections' Any suggestions? |

I am transferring this to a discussion. You need to determine what port your netbox installation is actually listening on, and the correct URL. To me it appears to be actually an HTTPs url that you need to use based on the curl output. That's the first step. |

Dear sc68cal, See Option 1# and Option 2# from my last note and $ curl -v -k -H "Authorization: Token REDACTED" https://192.168.xxx.xx/api/status/. |

Even after updating some packages and updating OS, I still got the same error: :/opt/netbox$ pip3 list :/opt/netbox$ ansible-galaxy collection list :/opt/netbox$ cat /etc/os-release Test https://192.168.XXX.XX:
As you can see, the api url '192.168.XXX.XX' works, so why not with ansible? Tried a again with the following config: :/opt/netbox$ ansible-inventory -vvvv --list Can anyone help me to make ansible work with netbox? |

I found out the cause of this issue. In netbox_inventory.yml there is a variable called 'validate_certs:'. On True setting I got the error, but on False setting I did not get any error :/opt/netbox$ cat netbox_inventory.yml :/opt/netbox$ ansible-inventory -vvvv --list So why does 'validate_certs: True' not work with https self-signed certificates created from 'https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/blob/develop/docs/installation/5-http-server.md'? |

Because a self signed certificate will not be valid. |

Self signed SSL certificates require you to disable certificate validation |
