Proposed Changes

As far as I am aware. there has been no notification to users in release notes etc about a change in the minimum required postgres version for Netbox. However:

  • This page says that Django 3.0 dropped support for postgres 9.4 - with 9.5 to be supported through 3.1 but dropped in 3.2. Netbox 2.8+ is using Django 3.0.
  • Netbox's own .travis.yml uses version 9.6 for tests
  • This forum post suggests problems with SQL syntax when using 9.4

I propose that first, a decision is made about the minimum version the Netbox developers are prepared to support (9.5 as per Django, or 9.6 as per Travis test config), and then update the following:

  • docs/index.md
  • docs/installation/1-postgresql.md (2 places)
  • netbox/templates/exceptions/programming_error.html
  • Also mention the new minimum requirement in docs/release-notes/version-2.8.md

It may also be worth adding a database migration with an explicit version test, like netbox/extras/migrations/0008_reports.py did when the minimum postgres version became 9.4.
