Nexus

Lyna hands out builds from a Sonatype Nexus. It downloads them with its own Nexus account, so the repositories can stay private.

1. A Nexus user for Lyna​

Create a user in your Nexus that can browse and read the repositories you want to serve. It needs nothing else.

2. Tell Lyna where the Nexus is​

nexus:
  host: "nexus.example.com"
  username: "lyna"
  password: ""
  • host is the host name only, without https://. Lyna talks to it over HTTPS.
  • Give the password as NEXUS_PASSWORD.

Restart the backend after a change.

3. Connect products to builds​

Which repository, group and artifact belongs to which product is set in the admin area, not in the config:

  1. Create a download type for each kind of build, for example stable releases and dev builds.
  2. On a product's Downloads tab, add a download per type and point it at the repository and artifact.

Who may download​

A signed-in person may download a product's builds when they hold a license for it, or have a role that grants access. Free products are open to everyone. The details are on the Access tab and the download types page.
