NetBox 2.1.4 release, Debian 9 support MEDIA_ROOT is now configurable in netbox_config. Prior to this version, we updated settings.py manually, which is still supported - however this will be deprecated in a future version of this role. Please update to NetBox v2.1.4 or higher, or if you're using a git repository, ensure that commit 643f64df3f02912957c2faf1a7555876fe00e2bc from upstream NetBox exists within the ref you are deploying.
