How do I use it?

Sonatype Nexus Puppet module

Install and configure Sonatype Nexus.

Requires

• maestrodev/wget
• puppetlabs/stdlib

Usage

The following is a basic role class for building a nexus host. Adjust accordingly as needed. NOTE: you must pass version to Class[‘nexus’]. This is needed for the download link and determining the name of the nexus directory.

class role_nexus_server {
    # puppetlabs-java
    # NOTE: Nexus requires
    class{ ‘::java’: }

class{ ‘::nexus’:
        version => ‘2.8.0’,
        revision => ‘05’,
        nexus_root => ‘/srv’, # All directories and files will be relative to this
    }
    Class[’::java’] ->
    Class[’::nexus’]
}

NOTE: If you wish to deploy a Nexus Pro server instead of Nexus OSS set deploy_pro => true

Usage(draft): Nexus 3 support

class role_nexus_server {
    class{ ‘::nexus’:
        version => ‘3.0.0’,
        revision => ‘03’,
        download_site => 'http://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3',
        nexus_type => ‘unix’,
        nexus_work_dir_manage => false
    }
}

NOTE: If you wish to use Nexus 3, nexus_work_dir_manage needs to be set to false because this module supports only Nexus 3 installation.

Nginx proxy

The following is setup for using the jfryman/puppet-nginx module. Nexus does not adequately support HTTP and HTTPS simultaneously. Below forces all connections to HTTPS. Be sure to login after the app is up and head to Administration -> Server. Change the base URL to “https” and check “Force Base URL”. The application will be available at: https://${::fqdn}/nexus/

class{ ‘::nginx’: }

file { ‘/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf’:
    ensure => absent,
    require => Class[’::nginx::package’],
    notify => Class[’::nginx::service’]
}

nginx::resource::vhost { ‘nexus’:
    ensure => present,
    www_root => ‘/usr/share/nginx/html’,
    rewrite_to_https => true,
    ssl => true,
    ssl_cert => ‘/etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt’,
    ssl_key => ‘/etc/pki/tls/private/server.key’,
}

nginx::resource::location { ‘nexus’:
    ensure => present,
    location => ‘/nexus’,
    vhost => ‘nexus’,
    proxy => "http://${nexus_host}:${nexus_port}/nexus",
    ssl => true,
}

TODO

Find a way to not require a version to be passed to Class[‘nexus’].
