This Saltstack formula will install Nexus OSS Repository onto any Linux (tested with Debian Jessie, CentOS 5, 6, 7).
Requires Nexus Sonatype Version 3 and above.
In your formula matching, SLS just add
nexus
- Make certificates importable, official CA, etc.
- Make java keystore replaceable if changes in the pillar occur. Delete old one etc.
- Obscure password in jetty-https.xml
- Make this formula updateable
- Set the symlink to the new version
- Do not touch the sonatype-work folder
- Copylivedata
- The problem that after running the copy job, another salt-call has to be done, so that the configuration files will be created correctly.
Questions regarding "how to configure nexus" take a look at the Sonatype documentation website. http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference3/index.html
1.) Requires Java JRE
2.) Knowledge in Nexus OSS
The default state is nexus this one will install, configure and creates a systemd entry for the nexus.
There is also nexus.v3.copylivedata which will copy data from another host to this local system.
Needs an existing ssh key on the host system.
1.) HTTPS will be configured, and a self-signed certificate is going to be created if applicationportssl is uncommented.
2.) The passwords for the Java keystore is neither encrypted nor obscured in the jetty-https.xml.
1.) Run Nexus OSS behind a reverse proxy. No issues with the self-signed certificate will occur.
Every variable is settable. If nothing is specified in the pillar, it will be set via the defaults.yaml.
Use the pillar.example, every variable is commented.
Nexus OSS can be installed anywhere on Linux. Per default it will be installed onto /opt the following directories will be created
nexus is a symlink pointing to the installed version.
nexus-versionnumber is created while extracting, can be set via install.path in the pillar
sonatype-work is created while extracting, can be set via install.datapath in pillar symlink in install.path will be created
The following file will be created and modified via salt
jetty-https.xml used for https activation, stores the password to the Java keystore
nexus.properties used for https activation, auto-redirects, SSL and non-SSL ports, and many more
nexus.rc used to run nexus as the specified user
nexus.service creates a systemctl entry, runs nexus as the specified user
nexus.vmoptions used to edit java vm preferences
A plugins can be loaded if they are specified in the pillar under nexus.plugins.
For now, only support for nexus-repository-apt is done, feel free to use it as a template for other ones.
Be aware of plugin version compatibility with your installed version!
nexus-repository-apt:
Compile plugin it as it is mentioned here
Point your pillar nexus.plugins.nexus_repository_apt.path to it.

Downloads the tarball in version nexus:version (currently defaults to 3.11.0-01) from sonatype configured as either a pillar or grain. Then unpacks the archive into nexus:prefix (defaults to /opt/nexus). Depends on the sun-java-formula for its JDK/JRE. Tested with jre1.8.0_172.
