I'm using JFrog Artifactory OSS in a docker container.
I want to download the latest version of an artifact. But it seems that it is not possible in OSS version.
Does anybody know a way to download the latest version of the artifact?
You are right, the Latest Version API endpoint works only in Artifactory Pro.
Working with Maven repositories, you can use the SNAPSHOT support to get Artifactory to return you the latest artifact.
Setting the Maven Snapshot behavior in repo settings to Unique, deploy the artifacts with -SNAPSHOT suffix. Artifactory will assign a unique version to those files internally, but you will always be able to retrieve the latest one using the -SNAPSHOT suffix.
Thanks a lot for your fast answer. I forgot you tell my hole workflow.
I have a jenkins server, building, testing and deploying my stuff.
I want build a spring boot jar file with maven and deploy it to my repository(i use jfrog). This works perfect. In a next step i will create a docker image containing this jar file. So the in the image file ther must be a command to download the execuatbel jar from jfrog. So for this reason i have to know the latest version of the jar file.
I hope you could understand it, this is my first english question.
Thanks a lot for helping me !

I migrated from an artifactory 4.0.2 to a 7.last suing method 1 suggested by https://jfrog.com/knowledge-base/what-is-the-best-way-to-migrate-a-large-artifactory-instance-with-minimal-downtime/.
Now surfing into the new repository I see all definitions fof my repositories as well as all metadata, however I don't see any artifact content (e.g. jar files).
I copied all filestore content from the old to the instance.
What I missed ?
Tks
From the scenario you've described, it appears to be an issue with the storage (filestore) configuration/connection.
What do we need to check next?
If you have updated the filestore path as a part of the migration, update the path into the storage configuration file [binarystore.xml] in the Artifactory instance. Let's say, you have moved the data from one mount to another mount to use the data via the new Artifactory version 7.x, this step will help Artifactory to know where exactly it needs to look out for the binaries.
The file will be present under $JFROG_HOME/etc/artifactory/ directory in the Artifactory 7.x version.
For some time, we have published all our artifacts to our own repository, which we host ourselves, using JFrog Artifactory.
We have some open source libraries we want to publish to Maven Central, and have come to the point where can publish every new version to Maven Central as a manual step. Now, we want to automate this, and the two options seems to be to either integrate it into our CI workflow or to sync it from our repository. Synching is the easier solution if we can make it work. Sonatype provide some straight forward instructions for doing so with the Nexus Repository Manager here: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/large-orgs/sync/
However, Nexus does not run on Artifactory, so the question is: How do we sync from Artifactory to Maven Central? (Or is it even possible? A confirmation that this is not possible would also be very valuable.)
The use case is to sync the artifacts in Artifactory to the Maven central and it is not possible from the Artifactory side.
Hi I am trying to find a simple solution to run a static security scan on binaries stored in JFrog Artifactory. It looks like the veracode integration supports Artifactory 6.7.8 https://community.veracode.com/s/article/Support-Matrix. Has anyone used this plugin with newer versions of Artifactory? If so how did you add the plugin to Artifactory? I'm trying to find a simple way to add the integration.
I was able to do this by using rtUpload and rtDownload jenkins plugins. https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Declarative+Pipeline+Syntax.
Make a repo for the binaries
Write a function for uploading the binaries to artifactory
Write a function for downloading the binaries from artifactroy
I have several services deployed in my Karaf-container. Most of them have multiple repository-URLs. I want to remove the old URLs, but it seems that this isn´t possible if the old artifacts are no longer in my Nexus repository.
Exp: I´m using Service XYZ with Version 25.0, but still have the repository-URLs for the versions 22.0,23.0 and 24.0. These versions are already deleted in my Nexus repository, but Karaf won´t uninstall/remove them because it can´t find them. But why is Karaf looking at all? I just want to remove the old stuff. It seems like I have to reset the container because in its current state it´s not possible to add or remove any features, Karaf always complains about not finding the old artifacts.
Is there any way to delete these entries manually, e.g. some file where Karaf keeps track of the old repository-URLs?
In a maven repository it is not a good idea to remove a version or an artifact. Anything that is published to maven must stay there. Maven creates copies of artifacts in the local repository. For releases it will never check again in nexus once a local copy is found.
So karaf simply does not expect that a released artifact ever goes away.
Why do you delete these old versions anyway?
I'm wondering how other Artifactory Admins do that so here's my question:
We're starting to use Artifactory to manage our artifacts. Internal as well as external artifacts. The external artifacts are all available in an internal repository. This is so because of a conversion from a file based repository to Artifactory.
Now this is starting to cause issues and I'm wondering how others are managing the external dependencies? As an Artifactory Administrator I want to be sure that my developers only use artifacts which have the correct license so I don't want to have a "feel free to download everything from the internet" culture.
I want to provide some sort of a "whitelisted and approved" set of external Artifacts.
Is this possible using Artifactory OSS or do we manually download the artifacts from a remote repository and deploy it to our local repository?
Thank you in advance!
this can be done with writing a user plugin but it will require a PRO version of Artifactory. You can see here examples to a governance control plugin that was written in the past.
With OSS version you can't reject downloads of users based on license.
Hope that answer your question.
