NetBox version

v4.4.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add the privacy plugin to the built-in docs (mkdocs.yml):

...
plugins:
  - privacy
...

Use case

As discussed in https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/issues/1573, the docs built with mkdocs contain references to external ressources (Google APIs at fonts.gstatic.com and fonts.googleapis.com). As a result, even with ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT: true, when accessing the built-in docs, the browser is told to retrieve stuff from Google. That does not work in isolated deployments and leads to timeouts and ultimately slow loading of the docs.

Database changes
