- Java 8
- Network access to https://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/sonatype-public-grid
Also, there is a good amount of information available at Bundle Development
To build the project and generate the bundle use Maven
./mvnw clean package
If everything checks out, the bundle for puppet should be available in the target folder
docker build -t nexus-repository-puppet .
docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name nexus-repository-puppet nexus-repository-puppet
For further information like how to persist volumes check out the GitHub repo for our official image.
After allowing some time to spin up, the application will be available from your browser at http://localhost:8081.
To read the generated admin password for your first login to the web UI, you can use the command below against the running docker container:
docker exec -it nexus-repository-puppet cat /nexus-data/admin.password && echo
For simplicity, you should check Enable anonymous access in the prompts following your first login.
On how to get started to proxy remote repositories, create hosted ones, upload your private modules and create group of repositories we have detailed instructions here!
The table below outlines what version of Nexus Repository the plugin was built against
| Plugin Version | Nexus Repository Version |
|---|---|
| v0.0.1 | 3.14.0-04 |
| v0.0.2 | 3.14.0-04 |
| v0.1.1 | 3.17.0-01 |
| v0.1.6 | 3.30.1-01 |
If a new version of Nexus Repository is released and the plugin needs changes, a new release will be made, and this table will be updated to indicate which version of Nexus Repository it will function against. This is done on a time available basis, as this is community supported. If you see a new version of Nexus Repository, go ahead and update the plugin and send us a PR after testing it out!
All released versions can be found here.

There are a range of options for installing the puppet plugin. You'll need to build it first, and then install the plugin with the options shown below:
Thanks to some upstream work in Nexus Repository, it's become a LOT easier to install a plugin. To install the puppet plugin, follow these steps:
- Build the plugin with
mvn clean package -PbuildKar - Copy the
nexus-repository-puppet-0.1.x-bundle.karfile from yourtargetfolder to thedeployfolder for your Nexus Repository installation.
Once you've done this, go ahead and either restart Nexus Repo, or go ahead and start it if it wasn't running to begin with.
You should see puppet (proxy) in the available Repository Recipes to use, if all has gone according to plan :)
Installations done via the Karaf console will be wiped out with every restart of Nexus Repository. This is a good installation path if you are just testing or doing development on the plugin.
-
Enable Nexus Repo console: edit
<nexus_dir>/bin/nexus.vmoptionsand changekaraf.startLocalConsoletotrue.More details here: Bundle Development
-
Run Nexus Repo console:
# sudo su - nexus $ cd <nexus_dir>/bin $ ./nexus run > bundle:install file:///tmp/nexus-repository-puppet-0.1.x.jar > bundle:list(look for org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-repository-puppet ID, should be the last one)
> bundle:start <org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-repository-puppet ID>
For more permanent installs of the nexus-repository-puppet plugin, follow these instructions:
- Copy the bundle (nexus-repository-puppet-0.1.x.jar) into <nexus_dir>/deploy
This will cause the plugin to be loaded with each restart of Nexus Repository. As well, this folder is monitored by Nexus Repository and the plugin should load within 60 seconds of being copied there if Nexus Repository is running. You will still need to start the bundle using the karaf commands mentioned in the temporary install.
If you are trying to use the puppet plugin permanently, it likely makes more sense to do the following:
-
Copy the bundle into
<nexus_dir>/system/org/sonatype/nexus/plugins/nexus-repository-puppet/0.1.x/nexus-repository-puppet-0.1.x.jar -
Make the following additions marked with + to
<nexus_dir>/system/org/sonatype/nexus/assemblies/nexus-core-feature/3.x.y/nexus-core-feature-3.x.y-features.xml<feature prerequisite="false" dependency="false">wrap</feature> + <feature prerequisite="false" dependency="false">nexus-repository-puppet</feature>to the
<feature name="nexus-core-feature" description="org.sonatype.nexus.assemblies:nexus-core-feature" version="3.x.y.xy">section below the last (above is an example, the exact last one may vary).And
+ <feature name="nexus-repository-puppet" description="org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-repository-puppet" version="0.1.x"> + <details>org.sonatype.nexus.plugins:nexus-repository-puppet</details> + <bundle>mvn:org.sonatype.nexus.plugins/nexus-repository-puppet/0.1.x</bundle> + </feature> </features>as the last feature.
This will cause the plugin to be loaded and started with each startup of Nexus Repository.
It is worth noting that this is NOT SUPPORTED by Sonatype, and is a contribution of ours to the open source community (read: you!)
Remember:
- Use this contribution at the risk tolerance that you have
- Do NOT file Sonatype support tickets related to puppet support in regard to this plugin
- DO file issues here on GitHub, so that the community can pitch in
Phew, that was easier than I thought. Last but not least of all:
Have fun creating and using this plugin and the Nexus platform, we are glad to have you here!
