ansible-nexus-repositories

This external role is to comply project related dependencies of proxy cached content.

Prerequisites

• You have to load the user's password into the variable nexusPwd
• You have to load json content defining your required repositories into the variable nexusRepos.

For example loading the content from a json file:

- name: import repositories
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    nexus_repos: "{{ lookup('file','vars/my_nexus_repos.json') | from_json }}"

Refer your nexus-instance in Setup/System/API for reqired json structs.

Example json content:

Tip: you can create a backup of your current structure calling the api-url with
{url to your nexus instance}/service/rest/v1/repositorySettings.
You can use it as a loaded JSON variable to restore your repository, group, and blobstore structure, or simply for cheating on the structure ;-)

How does it work?

• Every defined blob store within the repos will be build as fileblob, if it doesn't exist.
• Every defined repository or group will be created, if it's absent.
• Every defined repository or group will be updated with the json's content.

Usage

Import this role to your project with fulfied prerequisites.
