🔌 Plugin: OCI Registry (Nexus)

[schultzp2020]

🔖 Summary

We want to have a plugin similar to Quay and JFrog Actifactory for OCI Registry (Nexus).
ie: https://showcase.janus-idp.io/catalog/default/component/backstage-showcase/quay

🌐 Project website (if applicable)

https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository

✌️ Context

This new plugin could start from the JFrog Artifactory plugin source code as it will display similar information.

To get the data, we need to authenticate and use the Nexus APIs. Here is the link to the Nexus REST API docs.

👀 Have you spent some time to check if this plugin request has been raised before?

• I checked and didn't find similar issue

🏢 Have you read the Code of Conduct?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines

Repository Health Check is not support for docker registries.

RHC is only available for proxy repositories in Go, Maven, npm, NuGet, PyPI, RubyGems, and Yum formats.

[schultzp2020]

We cannot follow the <QuayPage /> component because Security Scan, Size and Expires do not exist in the API response.

We can skip the Security scan for now like in ACR and JFrog Artifactory.

The size should be available via the fileSize attribute. We could show the created date blobCreated instead of the Expires as it's not in the payload.

[schultzp2020]

Sadly fileSize is not the image size, I think its related to the dockerfile size since its only 1.5KB

[christophe-f]

Yes, it's the manifest file size.
