Hi,  
I’m using Sonatype Nexus Repository OSS 3.76.0-03. I have set up a remote repository for Rocky Linux so that packages can be downloaded from the internet. I have also configured the HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings—both in the Nexus GUI and in the `etc/nexus.properties` file along with the port.

However, we are still unable to fetch packages from the internet when using this repository. Nothing appears in the repository. Could you please help?

There should be an outbound request log which should contain information about the outbound requests that you may be able to use to debug the issue.

You may also need to look at the logs of your proxy to identify the cause.

Hi Manasi,

Also when having the repository overview, there is a status visible of your proxy.

So you should see the status of your new proxy. What i seen regularly is httpconnectionerrors noted there. Then you know the system cannot reach the remote location.

Regards,

Joris
