Adaptation of installation instructions and nginx.conf #13

Description

@LHBL2003

I installed Netbox a few weeks ago according to the installation instructions: https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/installation/

However, I installed with the HTTP server option B (Apache).
For borrowing it is important to know that then the NGINX setup will not work. (NGINX service will not start because of the port 80 conflict with Appatche).

I have set up the website almost completely with Appache. But I have decided to reconfigure to NGINX, as this seems to be preferred by NetBox.

If you reconfigure NetBox to NGINX as described in the installation instructions, http redirects to https.

If you now configure ntmap, the NGINX service will not restart because netbox and ntmap want to use port 80.

I have therefore reconfigured ntmap to port 81.

Conclusion:
The NTMAP installation guide should recommend that NetBox is set up with NGINX and not Apache. Otherwise, a configuration guide for Apache would be helpful.

The NTMAP configuration /opt/ntmap/install/nginx.conf should not use port 80, otherwise the NGINX service will not start if NetBox is installed on the same server.


Nevertheless, I thank you for the tool. I will now configure my first group :)
