we are using Sonatype Nexus OSS hosted in a Kubernetes Cluster, deployed using the Helm chart nexus-repository-manager from the repository at https://sonatype.github.io/helm3-charts/.
With the announcement by Sonatype about the transition from “Sonatype Nexus OSS” to “Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition” (see Sonatype Nexus Repository OSS is now Community Edition) and the nexus-repository-manager chart to cover up to version 64.2.0 only, we’d like to deploy a fresh instance of “Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition” to our Kubernetes Environment.
Analyzing the charts, this seems possible from the same repo, but we need to switch the chart from nexus-repository-manager to nxrm-ha instead.
This seems to provide the commercial version of “Sonatype Nexus” only, since the service refuses to start without providing a valid license file.
Can anyone please share details how to deploy “Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition” to some Kubernetes Cluster, please?
With the embedded databases we found that kubernetes deployments had an increased chance of database corruption (as kubernetes may kill the pod) so the old charts were discontinued.
I passed along the fact the current chart requires a pro license but I don’t know what the timeline for making a change to it is.
