Web interface and repository API

https://<IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/

‍

Example: if your VM has the IP address 200.25.101.125:

https://200-25-101-125.sslip.io/

‍

Without SSL

http://<IP_DE_LA_VM>/

‍

Access credentials

‍

# Get the initial admin password
kubectl exec -n <NAMESPACE> <POD_NAME> -- cat /nexus-data/admin.password

‍

ℹ️ Nexus will ask you to change your password the first time you log in. After that, the admin.password file is automatically deleted.

# View the Nexus3 pod
`kubectl get pods -A | grep nexus`

# View the installation log
`tail -f /var/log/cuemby/bootstrap.log`

‍

Expected output

NAME                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS
nexus3-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx    1/1     Running   0        ← Running ✓

‍

⚠️ Nexus takes 3–5 minutes to become available after the pod is in Running mode. It is normal to see an initial loading screen.

‍

ℹ️ Nexus does not require configured credentials upon deployment. The admin password is automatically generated on first boot.

1. Open the URL and log in with the admin username and the password obtained from the pod.
2. Complete the initial wizard: change the password and configure anonymous access according to your needs.
3. Create or configure repositories from Administration → Repositories.

‍

Common repository types

‍

Use Nexus as a Maven proxy (pom.xml)

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>nexus</id>
    <url>https://<IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/repository/maven-public/</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

‍

Use Nexus as npm registry

npm config set registry https://<IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/repository/npm-group/
npm login --registry=https://<IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/repository/npm-hosted/

‍

Use Nexus as a Docker registry

docker login <IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io
docker tag mi-imagen:latest <IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/<repositorio>/mi-imagen:latest
docker push <IP-CON-GUIONES>.sslip.io/<repositorio>/mi-imagen:latest

‍

💡 Tip: The group repository type is the one you should configure in your build tools — it groups the hosted and proxy into a single URL, resolving first to your local artifacts and then to the public upstream.
