Hello Team,

I have few questions on nexus core. I have highlighted them below.

1. I need to know if there is any docker images available for nexus-core in docker hub. If not please let me know the steps to build a docker image on nexus-core. [GitHub - sonatype/nexus-public: Sonatype Nexus Repository Open-source codebase mirror](https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public)  
2)I can see there are steps specified in the README to build nexus but during that process I get failures. May I know the exact tools needed for building the nexus? so far I can see we need java,maven and yarn. Any other tools needs for building nexus?
2. May I know nexus-core is equal to nexus3.

Regards,  
Sarath

If we are able to build the nexus-public. can we use it similar to nexus-oss or community version? if not please let me know the steps to follow.
