This project automates the setup of Sonatype Nexus OSS repository.
You can download the latest version 3 of Nexus OSS from here.
This download is done automatically. After the setup is finished, a systemd unit is created to manage the service and it is started. It is important to follow the process through because the automation will tried to connect to the Nexus HTTP port and retrieve the initial password for the admin account, credentials required to start the manual configuration process. See an example below:

There is Vagrant automation for local testing before creating the resource on AWS.
In order to use that, you will need to install:
After that, it is just a matter to hit vagrant up and wait for the VM come up.
The automation for AWS is based on Hashicorp's Packer and Terraform.
See the terraform/README.md for more details.
Please check the official documentation about it.
Also check the shell scripts backup.sh and restore.sh under the scripts directory.
The backup.sh script must be scheduled after the respective schedule task at Nexus.
