NetBox version

v3.2.1

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

Hello there,

I've configured the following in my configuration file as mentioned here and I know there is a newer version available (3.2.2) but I don't see any sign in the main page (connected as admin, my only user)

# This repository is used to check whether there is a new release of NetBox available. Set to None to disable the
# version check or use the URL below to check for release in the official NetBox repository.
# RELEASE_CHECK_URL = None
RELEASE_CHECK_URL = 'https://api.github.com/repos/netbox-community/netbox/releases'

Python version is 3.9.6

Hope I didn't do anything wrong as I already missed this option in the documentation... 😉

Expected Behavior

Should display a message to administrative users on the home page when a new release is detected.

Observed Behavior

I don't see any error

The check runs when the housekeeping command is executed. Make sure you have setup housekeeping.

https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/administration/housekeeping/

To verify you can trigger it manually:

python manage.py housekeeping

python manage.py housekeeping

Hi,

Thanks a lot for helping. In that particular case, I'm getting an error with the command :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/netbox-3.2.1/netbox/manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

I'm now wondering if there is not somewhere a misconfiguration from day 1 as I think I got the same missing django message by trying to install a map plugin (abandoned the idea for now). Netbox overall seems to work/update without any issue.

Netbox is installed on a dedicated VM, without docker and is installed that way (folder structure) on an AlmaLinux box and runs behind an NGINX reverse:

If somebody can help with this error too, that would be very nice, thanks in advance! 😉

You need to activate the venv before running the command.

Please consult the documentation here:
