netbox | The BusyBox of embedded network toolboxes | Automation library

I want do develop a plugin for netbox. I installed netbox on my machine and now I have to install the plugin, which is pretty blank at the moment(similar to the one from the netbox docs).

I'm new to Django and I try to develope a plugin for NextBox using this framework. To get familliar with it I'm using documentation from NextBox for this.

Maybe someone of you can help me?

However, I find myself stuck right in the beginning.

Here's what I've tried:

Add prefix/VLAN to netbox [2]:

I created reverse proxy for netbox-docker image. It is custom reverse proxy for SSL, but when I start it, docker logs for container say this when it crashes:

Docker image and tutorial what I followed is here: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/blob/release/README.md

I had default file in docker/nginx.conf I edited it, but when I log into Docker image, there is unedited default config file. I don't know why Docker wont copy this specific file with actuall version and copy default one, but others are in the container properly showing.

Here is my Dockerfile where I copy files
