Originally created by @lmgonzalezl on GitHub (Jul 5, 2019).

Proposed Changes

URL to internal storage.

In our organization we store photos and documents related to a tenant. I have tried adding a personal label to internal storage but NetBox does not recognize the string as a valid URL.

Example of the required url:
storage1\systems_redes\Location of Nodes

Even if I use the url storage1\sistemas_redes\ without spaces netbox does not recognize it.

I have tried with file: //storage1/systems_redes/ but it does not work either.

Is it possible for NetBox to open a file browser from a supplied URL?

Justification

Link documents to a tenant on an internal storage server.

Thank you

What are you referring to? A custom link? NetBox simply outputs the specified URL inside an HTML tag, like this:

<a href="{{ URL }}">{{ TEXT }}</a>

How the browser handles that is outside of NetBox's control.

Hi Jeremy.

What I would like to do is that the link make reference to a directory in a local server in our network, because i need to open a file browser that contains a photo gallery.

What I need is legacy URLs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

Example of my URL:

file:////storage1/sistemas_redes/LogoAPTF.jpg

or

file:////storage1/sistemas_redes/

When I save the changes Netbox removes the ip from the server.

You should be able to generate file:/// URLs from custom links - Netbox just outputs whatever URL you generate, and you provide the scheme part in your template.

This sounds like a support question for the google group, where you can show what strings you've given for "Text" and "URL" for your custom ilnk.

As @candlerb points out, NetBox lets you output whatever you want for the URL. How your web browser handles that is beyond what NetBox can control. Please post to the mailing list if you need further assistance.
