- Sonatype Nexus Repository [OSS 3.59.0-01] Dear Community members, I currently evaluating nexus repository manger to be use instead of JFrog Artifactory (Pro); I’m currently on the “remote repository” part. I manage to setup a couple of APT remote repositires, now I’m struggling to set the dockerhub proxy remote repository 😕 here are some documentation url I followed: - [Proxy Repository for Docker (sonatype.com)](https://help.sonatype.com/en/proxy-repository-for-docker.html) Here is what I have so far: - I have a remote docker hub proxy repository available under: [https://nexuslab.domain.eu/repository/docker-hub-proxy/](https://nexuslab.domain.eu/repository/docker-hub-proxy/) - when I test this url with a simple curl command: - from the nexus server: ```bash $ curl -I https://nexuslab.domain.eu/ HTTP/1.1 200 OK $ curl -I https://nexuslab.domain.eu/repository/docker-remote/v2/ -u svc-nexus-api Enter host password for user 'svc-nexus-api': HTTP/1.1 200 OK ``` ``` - from a another server (running docker): ``` ```bash curl -I https://nexuslab.domain.eu/repository/docker-remote/v2/ -u svc-nexus-api Enter host password for user 'svc-nexus-api': HTTP/1.1 200 OK $ docker login nexuslab.domain.eu/repository/docker-remote/v2/ Username: svc-nexus-api Password: Error response from daemon: login attempt to https://nexuslab.domain.eu/v2/ failed with status: 404 Not Found ``` - when I try to pull a docker image, I ve got an Error 404 ```html Error response from daemon: error parsing HTTP 404 response body: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value: " 404 - Sonatype Nexus Repository . . .
\"Exclamation Error 404 Not Found . . . ``` - config in place at nexus web ui level: ![nexus3-ui-docker-hub-00001](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/communitysonatype/original/2X/a/a4422b9c758539640a6e37d83682750897c94db7.png) _(💡 due to the restrictions in place, please find other screens caputres in replies below)_ - config in place on the docker server (to target nexus server): ```bash ubuntuadmin@dokcerlab:~$ curl -I https://nexuslab.domain.eu/ HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2024 08:27:02 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 7927 Connection: keep-alive X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Last-Modified: Mon, 05 Aug 2024 08:27:02 GMT Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Expires: 0 ``` - file: `/etc/docker/daemon.json` ```javascript { "registry-mirrors": ["https://nexuslab.domain.eu"], } ``` - File: `.docker/config.json` ```bash { "auths": { "artifactorylab.my.domain.lu": { "auth": "==" } } } ``` I obviously setup something wrong 😕 Can you point me to the good direction ? Thanks in advance for your time and help. kr, ---

I believe the issue you see is caused by choosing port 443 for docker. It appears you otherwise have Nexus using 443 to serve content so it can’t also be used for Docker. The issue is that the docker client requires that content be served from `/` ---

Hello Thanks for your answer, if I’m not mistaken you invite me to setup and nginx reverse proxy server in front of my Nexus3 repository manager instance ? - edit file: `etc/nginx/conf.d/nexuslab.conf ```ini ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; ssl_certificate /opt/nexus/etc/ssl/nexuslab/nexuslab.crt; ssl_certificate_key /opt/nexus/etc/ssl/nexuslab/nexuslab.key; server { listen 443 ssl; server_name nexuslab.my.domain; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8081; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } } ``` and then add a block that target a specific port for Docker ? Am I right ?
