+# Ansible Role: a docker-compose'd Netbox
+
+## General
+This role includes extensive configuration(and adapted defaults) for the different services it uses(take a
+look at defaults/main.yml) from the community [netbox-docker](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker):
+ * Redis as an append-only-cache
+ * A second redis, configured as usual(removable items)
+ * Postgres as it's database
+ * Netbox-worker
+
+... and Netbox itself.
+
+
+## ToDo
+- [ ] configure multiple workers
+- [ ] Better README pls
+- [ ] Explain usage(besides having... the role... existent... i guess?)
