Cookbook for Nexus Repository Manager

Usage

Simply include the nexus_repository_manager recipe wherever you would like Nexus Repository Manager installed. Simply add recipe['nexus_repository_manager'] to your runlist or include_recipe 'nexus_repository_manager' to your cookbook. This will install Nexus Repository Manager managed as a systemd service.

We also provide a nexus_repository_manager::docker recipe which is exactly the same but without installing a systemd service.

Recipes

• nexus_repository_manager::default Installs Nexus Repository Manager and starts it as systemd service.
• nexus_repository_manager::docker Installs Nexus Repository Manager. Instead of a systemd service a startup script start-nexus-repository-manager.sh is provided in install_dir.
• nexus_repository_manager::rh-docker Uses the nexus_repository_manager::docker recipe but includes additional meta data to comform with Kubernetes and OpenShift standards, a directory with the licenses applicable to the software and a man file for help on how to use the software. It also uses an ENTRYPOINT script to ensure the running user has access to the appropriate permissions for OpenShift 'restricted' SCC.
• nexus_repository_manager::3x-docker Nearly identical to the rh-docker recipe, but excluding the java recipe

Red Hat help.1

The man file included in the Red Hat image is generated from this help markdown. Markdown can be converted to the appropriate format using md2roff. This process is currently not part of the automated build and needs to be done manually after any update to the help markdown.

Testing

We provide a simple smoke test for this cookbook. Use this command to run it:

kitchen test

Supported platforms

We run our tests against centos-7.3 as well as ubuntu-16.04. However all major systemd based distributions should work fine.

The alternative nexus_repository_manager::docker recipe does not require systemd.
