        ### Preview

        # Supported Features and Models
        
        ### Numbers
        
        The plugin currently implements a Number abstraction representing a single telephone number of an arbitrary format.<br/>
        A Number can consist of valid DTMF characters and leading plus sign for E.164 support:
          - leading plus ("+") sign (optional)
          - digits 0-9
          - characters A, B, C, D
          - pound sign ("#")
          - asterisk sign ("*")
        
        Sample valid numbers: +12341234567, 1000, 123#2341234567, *100#.<br/>
        Numbers are stored without delimiters. They will be implemented as an additional formatting function.<br/>
        Number values can be not unique.
        Tenant is a mandatory option representing a number partition. Number and Tenant are globally unique.<br/>
        A Number can optionally be assigned with Provider and Region relations.<br/>
        A Number can contain an optional Description.<br/>
        A Number can optionally be tagged with Tags.<br/>
        <br/>
        The plugin supports Bulk Edit and Delete operations for Numbers.
        
        ### SIP Trunks
        
        A sip trunk has a name, a region, and destination
        
        ### Plugin API
        
        The plugin introduces a NetBox REST API extension `/api/plugins/ucbox/`.<br/>
        It currently supports all create, read, update, and delete operations for Numbers via `/api/plugins/ucbox/numbers/`.<br/>
        The API is compatible with [pynetbox](https://github.com/digitalocean/pynetbox):
        ```
        >>> nb.plugins.ucbox.numbers.get(7)
        2000
        >>> 
        ```
        
        # Installation
        
        General installation steps and considerations follow the [official guidelines](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/).
        
        ### Package Installation from PyPi
        
        Assuming you use a Virtual Environment for Netbox:
        ```
        $ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
        (venv) $ pip3 install ucbox_plugin
        ```
        
        ### Package Installation from Source Code
        The source code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/iDebugAll/ucbox_plugin).<br/>
        Download and install the package. Assuming you use a Virtual Environment for Netbox:
        ```
        $ git clone https://github.com/iDebugAll/ucbox_plugin
        $ cd ucbox_plugin
        $ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
        (venv) $ pip3 install .
        ```
        
        To ensure NextBox UI plugin is automatically re-installed during future upgrades, create a file named `local_requirements.txt` (if not already existing) in the NetBox root directory (alongside `requirements.txt`) and list the `ucbox_plugin` package:
        
        ```no-highlight
        # echo ucbox_plugin >> local_requirements.txt
        ```
        
        ### Enable the Plugin
        In a global Netbox **configuration.py** configuration file, update or add PLUGINS parameter:
        ```python
        PLUGINS = [
            'ucbox_plugin',
        ]
        ```
        
        ### Collect Static Files
        The Plugin contains static files for topology visualization. They should be served directly by the HTTP frontend. In order to collect them from the package to the Netbox static root directory use the following command:
        ```
        (venv) $ cd /opt/netbox/netbox/
        (venv) $ python3 manage.py collectstatic
        ```
        
        ### Apply Database Migrations
        
        Apply database migrations with Django `manage.py`:
        ```
        (venv) $ python3 manage.py migrate
        ```
        
        ### Restart Netbox
        Restart the WSGI service to apply changes:
        ```
        sudo systemctl restart netbox
        ```
        
        # Installation with Docker
        The Plugin may be installed in a Netbox Docker deployment. 
        The package contains a Dockerfile for [Netbox-Community Docker](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker) extension. Latest-LDAP version is used by default as a source.<br/>
        Download the Plugin and build from source:
        ```
        $ git clone https://github.com/iDebugAll/ucbox_plugin
        $ cd ucbox_plugin
        $ docker build -t netbox-custom .
        ```
        Update a netbox image name in **docker-compose.yml** in a Netbox Community Docker project root:
        ```yaml
        services:
          netbox: &netbox
            image: netbox-custom:latest
        ```
        Update a **configuration.py**. It is stored in netbox-docker/configuration/ by default. Update or add PLUGINS parameter and PLUGINS_CONFIG parameter as described above.
        
        Rebuild the running docker containers:
        ```
        $ cd netbox-docker
        $ docker-compose down
        $ docker-compose up -d
        ```
        Netbox Community Docker setup performs static files collection on every startup. No manual actions required.
