Recipes

default

Downloads and installs the latest Nexus 3 Repository Manager OSS.

Attributes

  • node['nexus3']['version'] - The version of Nexus 3 to download. Default 3.2.1-01.
  • node['nexus3']['url'] - The download URL of Nexus 3 Repository Manager. This can be a specific version of Nexus Repository Manager OSS or Nexus Repository Manager Pro. Default http://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3/nexus-3.2.1-01-unix.tar.gz.
  • node['nexus3']['checksum'] (optional) - The checksum of Nexus Repository Manager. Default nil.
  • node['nexus3']['path'] - Install directory. Default Linux: /opt Windows: #{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}.
  • node['nexus3']['data'] - Data directory. Default #{node['nexus3']['path']}/sonatype-work/nexus3.
  • node['nexus3']['home'] - Link to install directory. Default #{node['nexus3']['path']}/nexus3.
  • node['nexus3']['properties_variables'] - A Hash of variables that are passed into a file populated on each line with the following format: 'Key'='Value'. Default { 'application-host': '0.0.0.0', 'application-port': '8081', 'nexus-args': '${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-http.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml', 'nexus-context-path': '/' }.
  • node['nexus3']['desired_heap_size'] - To easily configure the min & max heap size (JVM Xms & Xmx). Default '4G'.
  • node['nexus3']['vmoptions_variables'] - A Hash of variables that are passed into a template file. Note that data directory will be injected into the hash if it is not defined and Xms & Xmx variables are managed by desired_heap_size. Default { Xms: '4G', Xmx: '4G' }.
  • node['nexus3']['nofile_limit'] - Limit of open files available for the Nexus3 service in systemd. Default 65,536 as suggested by the Sonatype documentation on newer releases.
  • node['nexus3']['outbound_proxy'] - Configure outbound HTTP/HTTPS proxy. See example 'Configure outbound HTTP/HTTPS proxy for all the attributes.'
  • node['nexus3']['plugins'] - Install external plugins, takes a hash of { 'plugin-name' : { "name": "name override", "source": "..", "checksum": "..", "action": "remote file action"}}. Plugins should be bundled in KAR format, and will be written on disk as <plugin-name>-bundle.kar

Examples

Changing the HTTP Port and/or Context Path

The default value for the HTTP port used to access the repository manager user interface and resources is 8081. To change HTTP Port to 8443, Context Path to /components/ and serve HTTPS directly set the properties_variables hash with the updated settings:

include_recipe 'java_se'

node.default['nexus3']['properties_variables'] = { port: '8443', args: '${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-https.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml', context_path: '/components/' }
include_recipe 'nexus3'

Updating Memory Allocation and other JVM Paramaters

The default and maximum heap sizes for the repository manager are a value of 1200 MB, suitable for most usage patterns. To install latest nexus3 with 1500 MB initial memory and 2 GB max memory, set it in the vmoptions_variables:

include_recipe 'java_se'

node.default['nexus3']['vmoptions_variables'] = { Xms1500M: nil, Xmx2G: nil }
include_recipe 'nexus3'

The vmoptions_variables attributes are mapped to JVM options -<key>=<value> if a value is defined. If <value> is nil, the option becomes -<key>.

Configure outbound HTTP/HTTPS proxy

node.default['nexus3']['outbound_proxy'] = {
  'http' => {
    'host' => 'proxy.example.com',
    'port' => 80,
    'auth' => {
      'username' => 'example',
      'password' => 'secret',
      'host' => 'NTLM host',
      'domain' => 'NTLM domain',
    },
  },
  'https' => {
    'host' => 'proxy.example.com',
    'port' => 80,
    'auth' => {
      'username' => 'example',
      'password' => 'secret',
      'host' => 'NTLM host',
      'domain' => 'NTLM domain',
    },
  },
  'non_proxy_hosts' => ['rubygems.org', '*.chef.io'],
}

http is mandatory, it is a prerequisite to configure the outbound proxy, you cannot just configure https for example, it would not be valid.

auth can be ommited if you do not want to configure authentication. Only set username and password for basic authentication, else it will be NTLM.

Examples

Changing the HTTP Port and/or Context Path and/or HTTP vs HTTPS

The default value for the HTTP port used to access the repository manager user interface and resources is 8081. To change HTTP Port to 8443, Context Path to /components/ and serve HTTPS directly, set the properties_variables hash with the updated settings:

include_recipe 'java_se'

nexus3 'nexus' do
  properties_variables(
    host: '0.0.0.0',

  )
  action :install
end

Updating Memory Allocation and other JVM Paramaters

The default and maximum heap sizes for the repository manager are a value of 1200M, suitable for most usage patterns. To install latest nexus3 with 1500M initial memory and 2G max memory, set it in the vmoptions_variable:

include_recipe 'java_se'

nexus3 'nexus' do
  vmoptions_variables(
    Xms: '1500M',
