Nexus 3 - File Upload to hosted Maven Repository
I want to upload some files to a newly generated hosted Maven Repository on my Nexus OSS 3 Instance.
I need to use curl (not maven or something else) for the upload.
I tried the following statement (Port is not necessary - I have a NginX as reverse Proxy)
curl -v -F r=releases -F hasPom=false -F e=jar -F g=com.my.group -F a=myArtifact -F v=1.0.0-RC1 -F p=jar --upload-file "myArtifact.jar" -u user:password123 http://myNexusInstance.com/repository/myRepository
This Command produces the following Error:
* Server auth using Basic with user 'user'
PUT /repository/myRepository HTTP/1.1
Host: myNexusInstance.com
Authorization: Basic xxxx=
User-Agent: curl/7.49.1
Accept: */*
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Expect: 100-continue
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
} [16380 bytes data]
HTTP/1.1 400 Invalid path for a Maven 2 repository
I tried googling around but did not find any Solution (Neither in the Nexus OSS 3.x Documentation nor in different Forums)
The Nexus Repository is setup with the following configuration values:
- Format: maven2
- Type: hosted
- Version policy: Release
- Layout policy: Strict
- Deployment policy: Allow redeploy (also tested "Disable redeploy")
What is wrong here?
Answer
You can't use the service urls in Nexus Repository 3. To do something like you are trying to do, try this:
curl -v -u admin:admin123 --upload-file myArtifact.jar http://nexusURL:nexusPORT/repository/myRepository/com/my/group/myArtifact/1.0.0-RC1/myArtifact-1.0.0-RC1.jar
That SHOULD do the trick?
For some good reading, you can check out the following link that explains a remote repository layout (and hopefully helps explain why what I suggested to do works):
