Sonatype Nexus 3 on ARM

Run Sonatype Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager (NXRM) on ARM hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi) - both 32-bit (armv7l) and 64-bit (aarch64).

Nexus doesn't provide an official image to run on Raspberry Pi.

So I'm creating one and sharing it with everyone :-) .

(For x64, use the official image - sonatype/nexus3)

Running

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name nexus klo2k/nexus3

Building with "docker buildx" locally

Initialise buildx, if you're on a x64 machine:

# Enable ARM support
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset --persistent yes

# Create 'mybuilder' if not exist, set as default builder
docker buildx inspect mybuilder||docker buildx create --name mybuilder
docker buildx use mybuilder

# Start builder
docker buildx inspect --bootstrap

Build ARM 32-bit (armv7l):

docker buildx build --pull \
  --platform "linux/arm/v7" \
  --tag "klo2k/nexus3" \
  --output=type=docker \
  .

Build ARM 64-bit (aarch64):

docker buildx build --pull \
  --platform "linux/arm64" \
  --tag "klo2k/nexus3" \
  --output=type=docker \
  .
