Thank you for your response. Apologies if I misinterpreted your explanation; please correct me if I’m wrong. Since we are using Nexus as a container, do we need to do something like this?

1. Create the directory `/opt/<nexus directory>/sonatype-work/nexus3/etc/`
2. Add the preconfigured `nexus.properties` in the above path.
3. Then, start the Nexus services.

Regards,  
SAM
