Nexus Configuration as Code

Nexus CasC is a configuration as code plugin for sonatype nexus 3.

This plugin allows to specify a YAML file to configure a Nexus instance on startup.

BREAKING CHANGES

v3.30.0-01: http proxy configuration has changed, please see the revised documentation

Why Fork?

Forked from: https://github.com/sventschui/nexus-casc-plugin

The original provider was unable to maintain the project

Changes from the fork

The groupId has changed to avoid clashing with the original project
The build process now produces a .kar archive and can be directly deployed in upstream Nexus via the deploy directory (providing the API versions match)
Unit tests and integration tests have been enabled
Basic CI has been added
Releases are currently pushed to our private repository, this may change in the future

Building

Requires:

Java 8 JDK (OpenJDK is fine)
Maven (3.6.3 or higher preferred)
docker-compose (only if running the integration tests)

To just build the .kar archive:

./mvnw package

To build the .kar archive and execute the (limited!) integration tests via docker-compose:

./mvnw verify

Usage

Warning: Use the project version that matches your Nexus version. This is because the project is tied to specific version of the Nexus API and there is no guarantee the API remains consistent (although it usually does).

Deploy the .kar archive using the upstream sonatype/nexus3 image in the /opt/sonatype/nexus/deploy/ directory. The plugin will be automatically installed on startup.

It expects a YAML configuration file to be mounted to /opt/nexus.yml (This path can be overridden using the NEXUS_CASC_CONFIG env var).

The format of the YAML file is documented below.

Start Nexus as usual.

Local testing

There is a docker-compose.yml file with all the necessary to test this. The test admin user is johndoe and its password is located in the password_johndoe file. The YAML configuration is located in default-nexus.yml. It has a non-working proxy configuration just to test its configuration. Removing httpProxy and/or httpsProxy entirely will also clear the relevant proxy settings on the next boot.

./mvnw package
docker-compose run nexus

Configuration file

You can find an example configuration file here.

Interpolation

Use ${ENV_VAR} for env var interpolation. Use ${ENV_VAR:default} or ${ENV_VAR:"default"} for default values.

Use ${file:/path/to/a/file} to include the contents of a file.

The configuration file supports following options:

Supported options

Core

core:
  baseUrl: "" # Nexus base URL
  userAgentCustomization: ""
  connectionTimeout: 0 # ignored if 0
  connectionRetryAttempts: 0 # ignored if 0
  httpProxy: # HTTP proxy
    host: ""
    port: 80 # defaults to 80
    username: ""
    password: ""
    ntlmHost: ""
    ntlmDomain: ""
  httpsProxy: # HTTPs proxy
    host: ""
    port: 80 # still defaults to 80 because Nexus has no way to know that it needs to use TLS for the proxy itself
    username: ""
    password: ""
    ntlmHost: ""
    ntlmDomain: ""
  nonProxyHosts: # list of hosts not to be queried through a proxy
    - "host1"
