Ansible Role: Nexus 3 OSS

This role installs and configures Nexus Repository Manager OSS version 3.x on CentOS/RHEL.

All configuration can be updated by re-running the role, except for the blobstores-related settings, which are immutable in nexus.

Requirements

  • This has only been tested on CentOS 7
  • Oracle Java 8 (mandatory)
  • Apache HTTPD (optional, used to setup a SSL reverse-proxy)

(see Dependencies section below for matching roles on galaxy)

Role Variables

Ansible variables, along with the default values (see default/main.yml) :

nexus_version: '3.1.0-04'
nexus_timezone: 'UTC'
nexus_package: "nexus-{{ nexus_version }}-unix.tar.gz"

The nexus version and package to install, see available versions at https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype . nexus_timezone is a Java Timezone name and can be useful in combination with nexus_scheduled_tasks cron expressions below.

nexus_download_dir: '/tmp'

Directory on target where the nexus package will be downloaded.

nexus_os_group: 'nexus'
nexus_os_user: 'nexus'

User and group used to own the nexus files and run the service, those will be created by the role if absent.

nexus_installation_dir: '/opt'
nexus_data_dir: '/var/nexus'
nexus_tmp_dir: '/tmp/nexus'

Nexus directories, nexus_installation_dir contains the installed executable(s), nexus_data_dir contains all configuration, repositories and uploaded artifacts. Note: custom blobstores paths outside of nexus_data_dir can be configured, see nexus_blobstores below.

nexus_admin_password: 'changeme'

The 'admin' account password to setup. Note : admin password change subsequent to first-time provisionning/install is not implemented by this role yet.

nexus_anonymous_access: false

Allow anonymous access to nexus.

public_hostname: 'nexus.vm'

The fully qualified domain name under which the nexus instance will be accessible to its clients.

nexus_branding_header: ""
nexus_branding_footer: "Last provisionned {{ ansible_date_time.iso8601 }}"

Header and footer branding, those can contain HTML.

nexus_bind_address: 127.0.0.1

If configuring a reverse proxy, bind nexus to localhost only. By default nexus will listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0).

    ldap_port: 636
    ldap_search_base: 'dc=mycompany,dc=net'
    ldap_user_base_dn: 'ou=users'

    actions: # can be add, browse, create, delete, edit, read or  * (all)
      - read
      - browse

List of the privileges to setup. Those items are combined with the following default values :

    _nexus_privilege_defaults:
      type: repository-view
      format: maven2
      actions:
        - read
    nexus_roles:
      - id: Developpers # can map to a LDAP group id, also used as a key to update a role
        name: developers
        description: All developers
        privileges:
          - nx-search-read
          - all-repos-read

    password: "s3cr3t"
    roles:
      - developers # role ID
nexus_delete_default_repos: false

Delete the repositories from the nexus install initial default configuration. This step is only executed on first-time install (when nexus_data_dir has been detected empty).

nexus_delete_default_blobstore: false

Delete the default blobstore from the nexus install initial default configuration. This can be done only if nexus_delete_default_repos: true and all configured repositories (see below) have an explicit blob_store: custom. This step is only executed on first-time install (when nexus_data_dir has been detected empty).

nexus_blobstores: []
# example blobstore item :
# - name: separate-storage
#   path: /mnt/custom/path

Blobstores to create. A blobstore path and a repository blobstore cannot be updated after initial creation (any update here will be ignored on re-provisionning).

#  example task to compact blobstore :
#  - name: compact-blobstore
#    cron: '0 0 22 * * ?'
#    typeId: blobstore.compact
#    taskProperties:
#      blobstoreName: 'default' # all task attributes are stored as strings by nexus internally

Scheduled tasks to setup. typeId and task-specific taskProperties can be guessed either from the java type hierarchy of org.sonatype.nexus.scheduling.TaskDescriptorSupport or from peeking at the browser AJAX requests while manually configuring a task.

nexus_repos_maven_proxy:
  - name: central
    remote_url: 'https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/'
    layout_policy: permissive
  - name: jboss

# example with a login/password :
# - name: secret-remote-repo
#   remote_url: 'https://company.com/repo/secure/private/go/away'
#   remote_username: 'username'
#   remote_password: 'secret'

    member_repos:
      - central
      - jboss

Maven group repositories configuration.

All three repository types are combined with the following default values :

    _nexus_repos_maven_defaults:
      blob_store: default # Note : cannot be updated once the repo has been created
      strict_content_validation: true
