Hi All,
Currently running a Nexus 3:3.27.0 instance as a docker image. It’s deployed in an offline environment due to restrictions. It has several repositories, including an NPM proxy repository so machines in the offline environment can download packages. I do keep a copy of the image on an machine with internet access.
In order to update new packages in the repository, I will occasionally pull these packages from the machine with internet access before porting the entire nexus-data folder to be mounted in the offline server. It’s a complete replacement in regards to the nexus-data and it has worked well for a couple of months until recently.
I attempted to download several packages, for example, react-media-player and Plyr to facilitate playing training videos. I’m able to successfully download Plyr into the Nexus system, but unable to do so for react-media-player. There are instance of other npm packages that are unable to be downloaded as well. Creating a new repository and blob store results in the same error.
I have ran the repair tasks in the following order:
- Reconcile component database from blob storage
- Reconcile npm /-/v1/search metadata
- Rebuild repository browse
- Rebuild repository search
Unfortunately, despite them returning an ‘OK’ status, I’m still unable to download certain packages.
To circumvent this problem, I had to create a new Nexus instance to download this packages in order to proceed on with development work. However, this isn’t ideal as I would need to maintain two separate Nexus images.
The error returned is error 500. I’ll edit in the complete logs as soon as I can.
Hoping to be able to fix the original nexus issue, if not, being able to port the new repository into the original nexus will be a suitable alternative.
Appreciate any advice on this matter.
