Missing recipe: composer-hosted

Composer has never been part of Nexus, probably you added it or used a custom distribution. You need to either install that plugin again or remove the repository.

Thanks for reply Matthew!!

I don’t remember installing plugin manually, anyways how can I install plugin again when nexus is not running and where can I find this plugin? It would be great if you help in that.

Probably you’ll need to ask in the Github issues for a new release of the plugin.

We are facing this problem now with composer-proxy. We’ve updated from 3.42 to 3.51 and the docker container is no longer starting. We’ve rebuilt the plugin ourselves and updated the versions in the POM.xml. We’ve run out of ideas. Is anyone able to throw a piece of advice our direction?

Thanks in advance.
