maven-repository

Summary

Have you ever installed and tried to maintain a maven repository and thought, this is way more than I need and it can't be that hard to build this kind of thing? I have many times and finally I went through with it and this is the result. Using the frameworks I'm most familiar with making a thing that does what I need.

Some of the decisions made here

• Very limited user capabilities. Just read and write levels.
• No advanced segmentations of artifact locations. Local and a number of remote repositories are checked in the order of configuration.
• Deploying is done to the local repository storage location both for snapshots and releases, no special routing to configure.
• Artifacts stored as files on disk instead of adding various database dependencies.
• Never tries to fetch SNAPSHOT version from remote repositories.

Configuration

All configuration lives in the yaml file. There are comments for what the fields are used for. You will need to update it since by default no-one will be allowed to download any artifacts through the repository.

Running

Starting the service

java -jar maven-repository.jar server maven-repository.yml

Create a sqlite user database in the file storage/users.sqlite

java -jar maven-repository.jar create-database -f storage/users.sqlite

Add a user to the database in the file storage/users.sqlite, will be prompted for username, password, and access.

java -jar maven-repository.jar add-user -f storage/users.sqlite

Sets the password for a user in the database in the file storage/users.sqlite, will be prompted for username and password.

java -jar maven-repository.jar set-user-password -f storage/users.sqlite

Sets the access level for a user in the database in the file storage/users.sqlite, will be prompted for username and access.

java -jar maven-repository.jar set-user-access -f storage/users.sqlite

Generates a password hash using the method used in the sqlite database. Will be prompted for a password. Hash can also be used for the users in the yaml configuration file.

java -jar maven-repository.jar generate-password-hash

Generates a password hash using the classic mysql hash method, which is a double sha1 hash. Will be prompted for a password. Hash can also be used for the users in the yaml configuration file.

java -jar maven-repository.jar generate-mysql-password-hash
