Is there any place/way to receive Patch/Upgrade Notifications, Security Notification, Security Advisory Notification for Nexus Repo and Nexus IQ?

Also is there any way to subscribe to such notifications, if so, how?

Hi pepoga,
Yes, in fact, there are multiple ways of staying on top of our releases.

For Nexus Repository:

For Nexus IQ:

  • There’s a notification element within the product in the top right corner where you’ll be able to find information when there’s a new release available [2]

  • Outreach (aka the Welcome Page) is the page you can see right after opening Nexus Repository, given your administrator hasn’t turned the feature off, where you can see a notification box at the top if there’s a newer release available.
  • There’s a notification element within the product in the top right corner where you’ll be able to find information when there’s a new release available [2]

For these two notifications, is it available even if Nexus/Nexus IQ is installed on a VM without internet access?

No, they have to pull that information via the Internet.

We do publish the release notes to this forum (https://community.sonatype.com/tags/c/nexus-repository/6/release-notes) and of course you can see them on the release notes page of our help docs.
