This playbook will bootstrap your Netbox install on a clean CentOS 8 system.
Replace values in vars/config.yml leaving quotes where given, and set target ip in inventory.
Assuming target host will serve as the Netbox controller, Ansible & Netbox Modules are installed in Play 7.
Why make this? Official install documentation lacks proper procedure for CentOS 8. Having a playbook makes the entire setup process extremely quick and easy.
vars/config.ymlauth specifies the PostgreSQL username and password.
config specifies your Netbox site's ip address and domain.
app specifies the actual Netbox app/site's admin user credentials.
ssl specifies the self-signed cert information. These are optional and can be left blank.
Within inventory, place your target host(s) under a group called netboxhost.
Or, to install locally, change to hosts: localhost and add connection: local within each play.

Running config.sh takes some time. DO NOT stop the playbook during this task. You can't see .sh script output
in Ansible. (ref: https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/92)
The playbook WILL hang if you're trying to create a user for the NetBox app that already exists.
I assume a non-DNS registered domain is used. Modify the httpdconf.j2 file if needed.
Some conditionals are added for increased idempotency where shell/command module must be used.

Soon I'll share my playbooks and demonstrate how we automatically populate server-data and rack location.
