cloudify-nexus-plugin

Cloudify plugin for the Nexus repository (http://www.sonatype.com/nexus)

This plugin was developed for Cloudify version 3.1 and is a part of the regression testing we’re doing therefore should be used with care.

What it does

The plugin:

1. downloads resource from Nexus repository according to given GAV.

Basic how-to

1. Import the plugin in blueprint.

2. Add a node that uses tasks from plugin.

3. In inputs for task deploy or undeploy:

   • add ip address of nexus server as 'address' parameter,
   • add 'tempdir' parameter,
   • create artifact section (dictionary),
   • add ip address to the jboss server as ip parameter,
   • add path to directory where resource to be deployed exists as home_path parameter,
   • add path to directory where resource to be deployed exists as resource_dir parameter,
   • add name of deployed resource as resource_name parameter,

   for example:

   create: 
     implementation: nexus.nexus.tasks.download
     inputs:
       address: http://11.0.0.8:8081/nexus
       artifact:
         artifactId: artifact
         repositoryId: repository_id
         groupId: groupId
         extension: war
         version: 1.0
       tempdir: /tmp
       resource_name: artifact.war
   

Minimum working example

The following is a basic working example:

tosca_definitions_version: cloudify_dsl_1_0 imports:

• http://www.getcloudify.org/spec/cloudify/3.1rc1/types.yaml
• http://127.0.0.1:8001/plugin.yaml

node_templates: myhost: type: cloudify.nodes.Compute properties: ip: 127.0.0.1 cloudify_agent: user: cloudify_user key: /home/cloudify_user/.ssh/id_rsa

resource_downloader: type: cloudify.nodes.Root interfaces: cloudify.interfaces.lifecycle: create: implementation: nexus.nexus.tasks.download inputs: address: http://127.0.0.1:8081/nexus artifact: artifactId: jboss-helolworld repositoryId: repository_id groupId: groupId extension: war version: 1.0 tempdir: /tmp resource_name: artifact.war relationships: - type: cloudify.relationships.contained_in target: myhost

Assumptions for the above example

• Both plugin.yaml and plugin.zip are served on localhost:8001.
• Nexus server is up and running on 'localhost:8081/nexus`
• Nexus has already uploaded artifact
• User cloudify_user exists and can be accessed with my secret password.
