How To

Enable maven repo on an ubuntu server

This will allow you to present a maven repo with apache2 and allow to deploy maven artifacts there through ftp.

This should be done through ssh

Create maven user

create the user

sudo adduser maven --comment

Then change its dir

sudo -u maven mkdir -p /home/maven/public_html/release
sudo -u maven mkdir -p /home/maven/public_html/snapshot
sudo chmod -R o+x /home/maven

Install and configure Web server

sudo apt install apache2 -y
sudo a2enmod userdir
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo service apache2 restart

check if you have access to local maven dir:

curl localhost/~maven/

should return a page with the two "release" and "snapshot" folders

Activate https

First create a self-signed certificate in /etc/ssl/

sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 36500 -newkey rsa:2048 -batch -keyout /etc/ssl/private/apache-selfsigned.key -out /etc/ssl/certs/apache-selfsigned.crt

Then edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf to make it start with :

<VirtualHost *:443>
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/apache-selfsigned.key    
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/apache-selfsigned.crt

and restart apache2 with sudo service apache2 restart

The command curl https://localhost/~maven/ -k should return a valid page (-k is because the certificate is self signed)

Install and configure FTP server

sudo apt install proftpd

Then in the config file /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

uncomment the line

RequireValidShell off

jail your users to the public_html

DefaultRoot ~/public_html

you then need to restart the server, and connect to your ftp server using the ftp command from your personal computer.

Configuration in your pom

First add the distributionManagement in the same pom to specify where to deploy from. For an example see that project's pom

You need to add in your ~/.m2/settings.xml the login information. In my case I names my two repositories kimsufi-ftp-release and kimsufi-ftp-snapshot anbd I have password "mypassword" (change accordingly) . The settings is not ended because you should have other things.

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>kimsufi-ftp-release</id>
      <username>maven</username>
      <password>mypassword</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>kimsufi-ftp-snapshot</id>
      <username>maven</username>
      <password>mypassword</password>
    </server>
  </servers>

Then for a project to use your repo, see the project/repositories in that project's pom.
