I'm looking to use the OSS version of Nexus 2 for artefact management? Does it support automatic retention and removal of multiple versions of an artefact so that only so many versions are retained?
Example:
I'd like Nexus to automatically (via some config settings) to just keep the last 3 versions of an artefact in a repo:
myrpm_v5.rpm <-- latest (keep)
myrpm_v4.rpm <-- latest -1 (keep)
myrpm_v3.rpm <-- latest -2 (keep)
myrpm_v2.rpm <-- automatically remove when v5 is added
myrpm_v1.rpm <-- removed
Is this supported (couldn't see anything in the product matrix)? I'm using Nexus 2 (but could consider 3)

I have version v1, v2 in schema_version table.
I want to add version v1.1 in between.
How can i do it using cmd's with out manually dropping v2 and running flyway migrate once again?
Run with outOfOrder turned on; see the migrate docs.
Option: outOfOrder
Required: No
Default: false
Description: Allows migrations to be run "out of order".
If you already have versions 1 and 3 applied, and now a version 2 is found, it will be applied too instead of being ignored.
If you're running via the command line then do the following:
Add new migration as V1.1__description.sql or similar
Run flyway again with -outOfOrder true
I'm trying to install a demo shop of Intershop version 7.9 but i'm failing to get it working. When I run "gradlew deployServer" I'm getting an error on all dependencies of the first demo shop cartridge:
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app_sf_responsive:compile'.
Could not resolve com.intershop.business:ac_ecircle:.
Required by:
nl.test.testproject:app_sf_responsive:1.0.0-LOCAL
No version for module 'com.intershop.business:ac_ecircle' in project properties and no version declared in dependency. Consider adding a version or filter property to 'C:\projects\test7.9\projects\testproject\gradle.properties'
I have followed the complete Intershop manual Setup CI Infrastructure but there is one point I don't know exactly what to do, that's with the new versioning plugin.
It is in chapter 6.2.5, any one have an idea how to configure that?
After loads of tinkering and mails back and forth with Intershop support I found a solution.
My alterations are in section 7.2.4 of the Setup CI Infrastructure of Intershop:
https://support.intershop.com/kb/index.php/Display/279D85#Cookbook-SetupCIInfrastructure-CorporateArtifactsRecipe:SetupCIBuildforCorporateArtifacts
I Made sure the corporate distribution is unique since I have more that 1 Intershop installation. Otherwise the upload to Nexus(in my case) will still fail.
In the build.gradle of the corporate distibution folder added disableSCM = true in the scm.version section. It now looks like this:
scm {
version {
type = 'threeDigits'
increment = 'MAJOR'
patternDigits = 1
disableSCM = true
initialVersion = '2.0.0'
}
}
If this is not added I got a bad request httpstatus 400 from Nexus because it tried to upload it as a snapshot while the distribution repository is a release repository.
Another problem is the distributionURL in the project/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
All Nexus repository URL's are build up with < repoBaseURL > + repositories/snapshots, but the distributionURL is missing the repositories part.
After applied those changes it worked for me.
Is there a way to delete GAVs through a REST API in Nexus 3? From various
google searches it appears that this capability existed in Nexus 2, but not in
Nexus 3 yet. Is that true?
I tried the following with my current Nexus installation, which is OSS 3.2.1-01:
I was trying to delete GAV:
groupId = org.mycompany.myproject
artifactId = myartifact
version = 1.0.0
$ curl --request DELETE --user "USERNAME:PASSWORD" --write-out '%{http_code}\n' http://my-server:8081/service/local/repositories/my-repo/content/org.mycompany.myproject/myartifact/1.0.0
This gave me a 405.
I also looked at the release notes for 3.3 through 3.5 and nothing jumped out
that REST API support was added.
I also looked into
https://help.sonatype.com/display/NXRM3/REST+and+Integration+API. I downloaded
the nexus-book-examples and downloaded several of the Javadocs (nexus-core,
nexus-repository, nexus-common, nexus-script, nexus-commands, nexus-selector)
for version 3.2.1-01 and started to look through the code. It was not clear
where to start with a simple program to delete GAVs.
Am I correct that you cannot delete GAVs through the REST API in Nexus 3? Is
there a plan to support this in a future Nexus 3 release? Is there a way to do
what I want to do by creating a Groovy script using the code referenced by the
REST+and+Integration+API link above? Is there some sample code which will help
bootstrap me to using the above code (either 3.2.1-01, or a newer version of
Nexus).
Thanks.
You might take a look at our Beta REST API in Nexus Repository 3. Upgrade to a version greater than 3.3, preferably to 3.5 (just so you are using latest and greatest) and navigate to:
http://nexushostname:nexusport/swagger-ui/
Since the REST API is currently Beta we have yet to publish documentation or fanfare around it while we let people experiment with it and give us feedback.
You should see endpoints for deleting components and assets. You will likely want to use the component delete, so that it will clean up all associated assets.
Let me know your mileage!
According to the documentation, you can delete an ASSET (individual file) or a COMPONENT (a set of files, like jar+md5+sha1+pom.xml representing an artifact) only if you know the assetId or the componentId
https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/rest-and-integration-api/components-api
https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/rest-and-integration-api/assets-api
So you should issue a separate search call passing the GAV and finding out the componentId, then use the componentId to delete in a second call.
However I see here https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11266 and here
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-11881 that people can delete an asset just by specifying the entire path... I have tried with
curl -u admin:admin123 -X "DELETE" -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8081/repository/deployments/org/apache/commons/commons-compress/1.18/commons-compress-1.18.jar
and it gives me a HTTP 204 (no content). In my case "deployments" is a hosted repository. I have tried the same command on "central" (aproxy repo) and I get a 405.
But if I try to download the whole component (including pom, sha1 etc) with
curl -u admin:admin123 -X "DELETE" -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8081/repository/deployments/org/apache/commons/commons-compress/1.18/
I get a HTTP 404.
I know, it's painful and in Nexus2 it was much easier.
i’m trying to install the latest Ploneboard (v3.6) on a Plone 4.2 site, but getting the error
The version, 2.13.11, is not consistent with the requirement, AccessControl>=3.0
i see that the most recent Ploneboard change log for this version mentions "Fixed dependency for AccessControl. Plone < 4.3 have an old version pinned [cekk]”
anyone see what is wrong in this picture? thanks for any clues.
Since version 3.6 PloneBoard requires AccessControl>=3.0.
The Problem in your case is, that Plone 4.2.x has an older version pinned:
Check: http://dist.plone.org/release/4.2-latest/
If you run ./bin/buildout annotate | grep -C 5 AccessControl.
You will see which buildout configuration pins the version of AccessControl.
...
[versions]
AccessControl= 2.13.13
http://dist.plone.org/release/4.2-latest/versions.cfg
...
In your case you need to override this version pinning in your buildout.cfg (or versions.cfg).
[versions]
AccessControl = 3.0.8 # For example
I don't know which version of AccessControl works with Plone 4.2.x.
But 3.0.x seems suitable.
We're running nexus on some old hardware which is limited in disk space and would like to remove artifacts older than a certain threshold.
Is there any way to do this other than a combination of find and curl?
There is a scheduled task that can automatically remove old snapshot releases:
http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/09/nexus-scheduled-tasks/
http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/confignx-sect-managing-tasks.html
Unfortunately, this does not work for hosted release repositories.
As mentioned on a Sonatype blog post linked from a comment in the blog in gavenkoa's answer, since Nexus 2.5 there is a built in "Remove Releases From Repository" scheduled task which can be configured to delete old releases keeping a defined number.
This is sufficient to meet our needs.
Delete all files to which no one access more then 100 days and not modified more then 200 days:
find . -type f -atime +100 -mtime 200 -delete
To cleanup empty directories:
find . -type d -empty -delete
Or alternatively look to https://github.com/akquinet/nexus_cleaner/blob/master/nexus_clean.sh and corresponding blog entry http://blog.akquinet.de/2013/12/09/how-to-clean-your-nexus-release-repositories/ (delete all except last 10 releases).
auto purge older than 30 days(u can change it) not download docker images from nexus 3
https://gist.github.com/anjia0532/4a7fee95fd28d17f67412f48695bb6de
# nexus3's username and pwd
username = 'admin'
password = 'admin123'
# nexus host
nexusHost = 'http://localhost:8081'
# purge repo
repoName = 'docker'
# older than days
days = 30
#change and run it
For Nexus2, you can use my Spring Boot application https://github.com/vernetto/nexusclean , you can define rules based on date and on a minimum number of Artifacts to retain, and it generates "rm -rf" commands (using the REST API is damn slow).
For Nexus3, I would definitely use a Groovy script as a "Execute Admin Task". One is posted here groovy script to delete artifacts on nexus 3 (not nexus 2)
