Hi Jonathan,

After evaluating the Community Edition, we found that it does not align with our technical and operational needs. As a result, we are considering Nexus OSS as a more suitable option.

I came across the conversation below and understood that the source code is available for Nexus OSS.  
If I build the image locally using the **latest available source code (e.g., version 3.80.x)**, could you please confirm **which Helm chart** I should use for deploying it?

- Are there any **known limitations or hard caps** in OSS latest versions (ex, version 3.80.x) ?
- Does the **latest OSS release support integration with an external database** , or is it still limited to the embedded one?

Appreciate your guidance on this.
