Kubernetes/OpenShift Provisioning Plugin For Sonatype Nexus

Purpose

Allow for BlobStores to be configured using ConfigMap objects labelled nexus-type==blobstore
Allow for Repositories to be configured using ConfigMap objects labelled nexus-type==repository
Allow for Admin password to be configured using Secret object named nexus

Installing

You can copy the bundle to /opt/sonatype/nexus/deploy on any running Nexus container, but it would not be persistent across restarts. The simplest option is to build a new container image based on the sonatype/nexus3 container and add the bundle JAR file to the new image. Here's how to create a container image:

## The Dockefiles are set to install from the GitHub Releases, no compilation required
docker build -t nexus-kubernetes -f Dockerfile . 

docker build -t nexus-openshift -f Dockerfile.rhel7 .

NOTE: To build the OpenShift image, you MUST have access to registry.connect.redhat.com and have Docker configured to authenticate to that registry.

Configuration

For the most part, you should NOT need to do anything to configure this plugin. It will detect if it is running inside of a Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster and default to using the service account settings and environment variables defined in the Pod/Container. If you need to run this outside of a cluster but want to point at K8s API for configuration, you can assume the code will:

If $KUBECONFIG is defined, use that config file.
If $HOME/.kube/config can be found, use that.
If the in-cluster service account can be found, assume in cluster config.
Default to localhost:8080 as a last resort.

Setting Admin Password

The Admin password can be set using a Secret named nexus which contains a key called password. For example:

apiVersion: v1
stringData:
  password: <MY SUPER SECRET PASSWORD>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: nexus
  namespace: labs-ci-cd
type: Opaque

Provisioning BlobStores

Right now, this ONLY supports File blobstores. Perhaps later, S3 blobstores can be supported.

Example ConfigMap

apiVersion: v1
data:
  type: 'File'
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: my-blobstore
  namespace: labs-ci-cd
  labels:
    nexus-type: blobstore

Provisioning Repositories

Nexus supports a number of different repository types, and each one has different required settings.

Example ConfigMap

apiVersion: v1
data:
  recipe: 'MavenProxy'
  remoteUrl: 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/'
  blobStoreName: 'default'
  strictContentTypeValidation: 'true'
  versionPolicy: 'RELEASE'
  layoutPolicy: 'STRICT'
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: maven-central
  namespace: labs-ci-cd
  labels:
    nexus-type: repository

There are a few enumerated data types which you need to know as well:

Type	Allowed Values
WritePolicy	ALLOW, ALLOW_ONCE, DENY
VersionPolicy	RELEASE, SNAPSHOT, MIXED
LayoutPolicy	STRICT, PERMISSIVE
