Pre-requisites:

• VM needs to have at least 4GB RAM, for AWS choose at least medium instance type.
• Default ports 8081 and 8082 needs to be opened. 8081 for Artifactory REST APIs. 8082 for everything else (UI, and all other product’s APIs).

Change Host Name to Artifactory
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname Artifactory

Update Ubuntu OS
sudo apt update

Add JFrog Artifactory APT repository

echo "deb https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/artifactory-debs xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/artifactory.list

Import repository GPG key by running the following commands

curl -fsSL  https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public|sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/artifactory.gpg

Update the package

sudo apt update

Access Artifactory App
Go to browser and open public IP/DNS name along with port no:8081
http://your_public_dns_name:8081

You should see Artifactory welcome page, login with default username and password which is
admin/password

After Login, click on Get started. 

Now reset admin password. enter as Admin1234/Admin1234

Skip for base URL and skip proxy setup

Install SonaType Nexus 3 using Docker Compose | Install SonaType Nexus 3 using Docker on Ubuntu 22.0.4 | Install Nexus 3 using Docker-Compose

How to setup SonaType Nexus 3 using Docker compose?

Nexus is open source, binary repository manager and Java based tool. It can be installed quickly using Docker with less manual steps.

What is Docker Compose?

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. Since Docker Compose lets you configure related containers in a single YAML file, you get the same Infrastructure-as-Code abilities as Kubernetes. But they come in a simpler system that’s more suited to smaller applications that don’t need Kubernetes’ resiliency and scaling.

 

The purpose of docker-compose is to function as docker cli but to issue multiple commands much more quickly. To make use of docker-compose, you need to encode the commands you were running before into a docker-compose.yml file

 

Run docker-compose up to run the entire app.

Watch Steps in YouTube channel:

Pre-requisites:

• Ubuntu EC2 up and running with at least t2.medium(4GB RAM), 2GB will not work
  
• Port 8081, 8085 is opened in security firewall rule
• instance should have docker and docker-compose installed

Change Host Name to Nexus
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname Nexus

Perform System update

sudo apt update

Install Docker-Compose

sudo apt install docker-compose -y

Add current user to Docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Create docker-compose.yml

this yml has all the configuration for installing Nexus on Ubuntu EC2.

sudo vi docker-compose.yml 

(Copy the below code high-lighted in yellow color)

version: "3"

services:

  nexus:

    image: sonatype/nexus3

    restart: always

    volumes:

      - "nexus-data:/sonatype-work"

    ports:

      - "8081:8081"

      - "8085:8085"

volumes:

  nexus-data: {}

Save the file by entering :wq!

Now execute the compose file using Docker compose command to start Nexus Container

sudo docker-compose up -d 

-d means detached mode

Make sure Nexus 3 is up and running

sudo docker-compose logs --follow

Once you see the message, that's it. Nexus 3 is been setup successfully. Now press Control C and enter to come out of the above screen.

How to get Nexus admin password?

Now access Nexus UI by going to browser and enter public dns name with port 8081

Now to go to browser --> http://change to_nexus_publicdns_name:8081

We need to login to Nexus docker container to get Nexus admin password.

Identify Docker container name

sudo docker ps

Get admin password by executing below command

sudo docker exec -it ubuntu_nexus_1 cat /nexus-data/admin.password

Please follow below steps for integrating Nexus 3 with Jenkins

Make sure you change red highlighted values below:
Your account_d should be updated and repo should be updated.

pipeline {
    
    agent any
    
    environment {
        imageName = "myphpapp"
        registryCredentials = "nexus"
        registry = "ec2-13-58-223-172.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8085"
        dockerImage = ''
    }
    
    stages {
        stage('Code checkout') {
            steps {
                checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: '', url: 'https://bitbucket.org/ananthkannan/phprepo/']]])                   }
        }
    
    // Building Docker images
    stage('Building image') {
      steps{
        script {
          dockerImage = docker.build imageName
        }
      }
    }

    // Uploading Docker images into Nexus Registry
    stage('Uploading to Nexus') {
     steps{  
         script {
             docker.withRegistry( 'http://'+registry, registryCredentials ) {
             dockerImage.push('latest')
          }
        }
      }
    }
    
    // Stopping Docker containers for cleaner Docker run
    stage('stop previous containers') {
         steps {
            sh 'docker ps -f name=myphpcontainer -q | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker container stop'
            sh 'docker container ls -a -fname=myphpcontainer -q | xargs -r docker container rm'
         }
       }
      
    stage('Docker Run') {
       steps{
         script {
                sh 'docker run -d -p 80:80 --rm --name myphpcontainer ' + registry + imageName
            }
         }
      }    
    }
}

Step # 3 - Click on Build - Build the pipeline

Once you create the pipeline, click on Build now.

Steps # 4 - Check Docker images are uploaded into Nexus Registry

Login to Nexus, click on your repo, now you should see the image got uploaded.

Steps # 5 - Access PHP App in the browser which is running inside docker container

Once build is successful, go to browser and enter http://public_dns_name
