README
This is a Vagrant Environment for a [Nexus Repository OSS](https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public) service.
This will:
* Configure Nexus through the API.
* Create the `adhoc-package` repository.
* Create the `apt-hosted` repository.
* Create the `npm-group`, `npm-hosted` and `npmjs.org-proxy` repositories.
* Create the `powershell-group`, `powershell-hosted` and `powershellgallery.com-proxy` repositories.
* Create the `chocolatey-group`, `chocolatey-hosted` and `chocolatey.org-proxy` repositories.
* Create the `docker-group`, `docker-hosted` and `docker-hub-proxy` repositories.
* Configure the NuGet `nuget-hosted` repository to accept pushing with an API key.
* Configure Nexus through Groovy scripts.
* Schedule a task to remove the old snapshots from the `maven-snapshots` repository.
* Create users and a custom `deployer` role.
* Setup an Active Directory LDAP user authentication source (when `config_authentication='ldap'` is set inside the `provision-nexus.sh` file).
* For more details look inside the [provision/provision-nexus](provision/provision-nexus) directory.
* Setup nginx as a Nexus HTTPS proxy and static file server.
* Test the installed repositories by using and publishing to them (see the `use-*` files).
**NB** If you are new to Groovy, be sure to check the [Groovy Learn X in Y minutes page](https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/groovy/).
# Caveats
* Not all the repository plugins are open-source.
* The open-source ones are available at [sonatype/nexus-public/plugins](https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public/tree/master/plugins).
# Usage
Build and install the [Ubuntu 22.04 UEFI Base Box](https://github.com/rgl/ubuntu-vagrant).
Build and install the [Windows 2022 UEFI Base Box](https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant).
Add the following entry to your `/etc/hosts` file:
```
192.168.56.3 nexus.example.com
```
Install Vagrant 2.4.6+.
Launch the environment:
```bash
time vagrant up --provider=libvirt --no-destroy-on-error --no-tty
```
Access the [Nexus home page](https://nexus.example.com) and login as the `admin` user and password `admin`.
You can also login with one of the example accounts, e.g. `alice.doe` and password `password`.
**NB** nginx is setup with a self-signed certificate that you have to trust before being
able to access the local Nexus home page.
List this repository dependencies (and which have newer versions):
```bash
GITHUB_COM_TOKEN='YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN' ./renovate.sh
```
## Network Packet Capture
You can easily capture and see traffic from the host with the `wireshark.sh`
script, e.g., to capture the traffic from the `lo` interface:
```bash
./wireshark.sh nexus lo
```
# Notes
## Check for a component existence
With bash, [HTTPie](https://httpie.org/) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/):
```bash
function nexus-component-exists {
[ \
"$(
http \
get \
https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/search \
"repository==$1" \
"name==$2" \
"version==$3" \
| jq -r .items[].name)" == "$2" \
]
}
if nexus-component-exists npm-hosted hello-world 1.0.0; then
echo 'component exists'
else
echo 'component does not exists'
fi
```
With PowerShell:
```powershell
function Test-NexusComponent {
param(
[string]$repository,
[string]$name,
[string]$version)
$items = (Invoke-RestMethod `
-Method Get `
-Uri https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/search `
-Body @{
repository = $repository
name = $name
version = $version
}).items
$items.Count -and ($items.name -eq $name)
}
if (Test-NexusComponent npm-hosted hello-world 1.0.0) {
Write-Host 'component exists'
} else {
Write-Host 'component does not exists'
}
```
# Troubleshooting
## Logs
The logs are at `/opt/nexus/log/nexus.log`.
You can also see them with `journalctl -u nexus`.
## H2 Database
Nexus uses [H2 Database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H2_(database)) as its database management system.
**NB** Nexus OSS can only use the H2 database management system.
**NB** Nexus Pro can use the H2 or PostgreSQL database management system.
The Web based H2 Database Console is available at https://nexus.example.com/h2-console with the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| Saved Settings | Generic H2 (Embedded) |
| Setting Name | Generic H2 (Embedded) |
| Driver Class | org.h2.Driver |
| JDBC URL | jdbc:h2:/opt/nexus/sonatype-work/nexus3/db/nexus |
| User Name | _empty_ |
| Password | _empty_ |
You can also access the database cli shell as:
```bash
sudo su -l # switch to the root user.
systemctl stop nexus # make sure nexus is not running while you use the database.
su -s /bin/bash nexus # switch to the nexus user.
nexus_home=/opt/nexus/nexus-3.81.1-01 # make sure you have the correct version here.
nexus_data="$(realpath $nexus_home/../sonatype-work/nexus3)"
function h2-shell {
java \
-cp $nexus_home/system/com/h2database/h2/*/h2*.jar \
org.h2.tools.Shell \
-url jdbc:h2:$nexus_data/db/nexus
}
h2-shell
```
Then execute some commands and exit the console, e.g.:
```sql
-- see https://h2database.com/html/commands.html
help
show schemas;
show tables;
show columns from security_user;
select * from security_user;
select * from api_key_v2;
select * from repository;
exit
```
Exit the nexus user shell:
```bash
exit
```
And start nexus again:
```bash
systemctl start nexus
```
