Nexus Repository Cargo Format

Developing

Requirements

• Apache Maven 3.3.3+
• Java 8
• Network access to https://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/sonatype-public-grid

Also, there is a good amount of information available at Bundle Development

Building

To build the project and generate the bundle use Maven

mvn clean package

If everything checks out, the bundle for cargo should be available in the target folder

Build with Docker

docker build -t nexus-repository-cargo .

Run as a Docker container

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name nexus-repository-cargo nexus-repository-cargo

For further information like how to persist volumes check out the GitHub repo for our official image.

After allowing some time to spin up, the application will be available from your browser at http://localhost:8081.

To read the generated admin password for your first login to the web UI, you can use the command below against the running docker container:

docker exec -it nexus-repository-cargo cat /nexus-data/admin.password && echo

For simplicity, you should check Enable anonymous access in the prompts following your first login.

Using Cargo With Nexus Repository Manager 3

We have detailed instructions on how to get started here!

Compatibility with Nexus Repository Manager 3 Versions

The table below outlines what version of Nexus Repository the plugin was built against

If a new version of Nexus Repository is released and the plugin needs changes, a new release will be made, and this table will be updated to indicate which version of Nexus Repository it will function against. This is done on a time available basis, as this is community supported. If you see a new version of Nexus Repository, go ahead and update the plugin and send us a PR after testing it out!

All released versions can be found here.

The Fine Print

It is worth noting that this is NOT SUPPORTED by Sonatype, and is a contribution of ours and Imperva to the open source community (read: you!)

Remember:

• Use this contribution at the risk tolerance that you have
• Do NOT file Sonatype support tickets related to cargo support in regard to this plugin
• DO file issues here on GitHub, so that the community can pitch in

Phew, that was easier than I thought. Last but not least of all:

Have fun creating and using this plugin and the Nexus platform, we are glad to have you here!
