Question about custom objects plugin availability on demo.netbox.dev

[ddibenedetto]

Hi everyone,

I am not an expert, so I apologize in advance if my question is not correct or if I misunderstand something.

I am currently evaluating the custom objects plugin and trying to understand if it could support a specific use case.

I noticed that, unlike the other official plugins, custom objects is not available in the public demo instance (demo.netbox.dev). I would like to ask if there is a specific reason for this.
Is it related to the maturity of the plugin, or are there other technical or functional reasons why it is not included in the demo environment?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

unlike the other official plugins

We don't enable any plugins on the demo instance (except for one specifically built for the demo itself) as doing so would introduce a lot more overhead in keeping the public demo running.

If you'd like to demo custom objects, branching, and other plugins without setting up an instance locally, please check out the free tier of NetBox Cloud. All of our certified plugins are available there.
