Can't run nexus as nexus user on Amazon Linux 2

Sonatype Nexus Repository
8

I was able to fix it :tada: The problem was that the root folder containing the folders which the nexus program needed to work also need to have the nexus user as owner. This is my working install script:

# install sonatype nexus
mkdir -pv /opt/efsfilesystem/sonatype-work
ln -sv /opt/efsfilesystem/sonatype-work /opt/sonatype-work
wget --output-document /tmp/nexus.tar.gz https://sonatype-download.global.ssl.fastly.net/nexus/3/nexus-3.22.1-02-unix.tar.gz
mkdir -p /opt/nexus
tar xf /tmp/nexus.tar.gz -C /opt/nexus --strip-components 1

# run as nexus user
useradd --home-dir /opt/nexus --no-create-home --uid 1001 nexus
chown -R nexus:nexus /opt/efsfilesystem
chown -R nexus:nexus /opt/nexus
chown -R nexus:nexus /opt/sonatype-work
