 === NETBOX DOCKER INSTALL (FOR LABS MAINLY) ===
-  * Deploy container: [[https://www.rogerperkin.co.uk/network-automation/netbox/how-to-install-netbox/]]
+  * Deploy container: [[https://www.rogerperkin.co.uk/network-automation/netbox/how-to-install-netbox/]]  ; note: start the container with ''docker compose up -d'' (detached)
   * Reset password: ''docker compose exec netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/manage.py createsuperuser''
-  *
+  * Clone the demo data and run the script below to load it into the container:
+  git clone https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-demo-data.git
+  cd netbox-demo-data
+The script wipes the existing NetBox schema, imports netbox-demo-v4.3.sql, applies migrations, and restarts the containers. The data will persist across docker compose down / up as long as the Postgres volume is retained.
+This is the script:
+  #!/usr/bin/env bash
+  # load_netbox_demo.sh
+  # Load NetBox demo SQL data into a docker-compose NetBox stack.
+  set -euo pipefail
+  # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
