Environment

  • Python version: 3.8.5
  • NetBox version: 2.10.3

Proposed Functionality

Add images to device-types
Modify comments field to support image resizing for fitting.

Use Case

For some device types it is necessary to document some images to get rid of the need to label the devices. In the datasheet e.g. of some blade-server systems the numbering of the blades is shown.
I imagine two possible solutions:

  1. Add images to the comments-field.
    -already possible but then there is the need to resize images to make it fit into screens. See image below.

  2. Ability to add images to device-types.

Database Changes

No.

External Dependencies

No.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2021):

Add images to device-types

This is already supported.

Modify comments field to support image resizing for fitting.

The comments panel is already as big as the page size will allow.
