Sonatype Nexus3, openJDK-11

This is a fork of Sonatype's Nexus3 repository manager. This is not intended to be a drop-in replacement, but a tool that may be useful if you are running openJDK-11, and/or Ansible on CentOS8. You probably don't require Sonatype's support, because this is a DIY support affair.

What's changed:

1. CentOS8 base image
2. openJDK-11-headless replaces openJDK-8 (or Oracle JDK 8)
3. Ansible (locally) replaces Chef Solo runtime
4. Some of the nexus files to support openJDK > 9

Why things have changed:

1. Integration with Jenkins on openJDK-11 with the Nexus repository plugin.
2. The Chef specs were way out of date
3. Nexus3 is a stand-alone instance with not too much integration.
4. For me, Nexus3 runs behind a reverse proxy, and very little integration outside of Jenkins

What to do to get it working:

• Pull Sonatype/Nexus3 image from Docker Hub
• Copy out files required for ansible/roles/nexus3/files
• Patch files with patches in patches/
• set variables in ansible/roles/nexus3/vars
• build, push to local repo (you are bootstrapping a nexus3 repo with another nexus3 repo, right?)
• replace running nexus3
• test like heck

What doesn't work:

????? Caveat Emptor

Contributing:

Don't. Please. Ask Sonatype nicely to complete their migration from Java 8 to Java 11.

Fork if you want to hack away.
