Migration Overview

Migrating from Nexus to CloudRepo is straightforward and can be completed with zero downtime. Here’s what the process involves:

What Gets Migrated

  • All repository types: Maven, Gradle, Python, npm, Docker, Raw, and more
  • Artifacts and metadata: Complete preservation of your artifact history
  • Users and permissions: Map Nexus roles to CloudRepo’s permission model
  • Repository configurations: Proxy, hosted, and group repositories
  • Build tool configurations: Update Maven, Gradle, pip, npm settings

Timeline Expectations

Most migrations follow this timeline:

  • Small teams (< 10GB): 1-2 days
  • Medium teams (10-100GB): 3-5 days
  • Large teams (100GB-1TB): 1-2 weeks
  • Enterprise (> 1TB): 2-4 weeks with CloudRepo migration assistance

Zero-Downtime Migration Strategy

Our proven approach ensures continuous service during migration:

  1. Dual-running period: Keep Nexus operational while setting up CloudRepo
  2. Incremental sync: Migrate artifacts in batches without disrupting builds
  3. Gradual cutover: Move teams progressively to minimize risk
  4. Rollback capability: Maintain ability to revert if needed

Pre-Migration Checklist

Before starting your migration, complete this preparation checklist:

1. Audit Current Nexus Usage

Terminal window
# Check total storage usage
du -sh /path/to/nexus-data/blobs


# Count total artifacts
find /path/to/nexus-data/blobs -type f | wc -l


# List all repositories
curl -u admin:password https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/repositories

2. Identify Active Repositories

Document which repositories are actively used:

  • Production repositories vs development/test
  • Public proxy repositories being used
  • Custom repository groups
  • Repository cleanup policies

3. Document Access Patterns

  • List all users and service accounts
  • Map current permissions and roles
  • Identify CI/CD systems accessing Nexus
  • Document any custom integrations or scripts

4. Review Security Requirements

  • SSL/TLS certificate requirements
  • IP whitelisting needs
  • Compliance requirements (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.)
  • Audit logging requirements

Info

Pro Tip: Export your Nexus configuration for reference: curl -u admin:password https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/repositories > nexus-repos.json

Step-by-Step Migration Process

Step 1: Create CloudRepo Account and Repositories

Start by setting up your CloudRepo environment:

Terminal window
# 1. Sign up for CloudRepo 14-day free trial at https://cloudrepo.io/signup


# 2. Create repositories matching your Nexus structure
# Example: Creating a Maven repository via CloudRepo API
curl -X POST https://api.cloudrepo.io/repositories \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "maven-releases",
    "type": "maven2",
    "storage": "hosted"
  }'

Step 2: Configure Authentication

Set up authentication for your teams:

<!-- Maven settings.xml -->
<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>cloudrepo-releases</id>
      <username>your-username</username>
      <password>your-token</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>cloudrepo-snapshots</id>
      <username>your-username</username>
      <password>your-token</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Step 3: Migrate Maven/Gradle Artifacts

Use our migration script for bulk transfers:

#!/bin/bash
# CloudRepo Maven Migration Script


NEXUS_URL="https://nexus.example.com"
CLOUDREPO_URL="https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io"
NEXUS_REPO="maven-releases"
CLOUDREPO_REPO="maven-releases"


# Download artifacts from Nexus
mvn dependency:get \
  -DremoteRepositories=$NEXUS_URL/repository/$NEXUS_REPO \
  -Dartifact=GROUP:ARTIFACT:VERSION


# Upload to CloudRepo
mvn deploy:deploy-file \
  -DrepositoryId=cloudrepo-releases \
  -Durl=$CLOUDREPO_URL/repository/$CLOUDREPO_REPO \
  -DgroupId=GROUP \
  -DartifactId=ARTIFACT \
  -Dversion=VERSION \
  -Dfile=./path/to/artifact.jar

For large-scale migrations, use our bulk migration tool:

# bulk_migrate.py - CloudRepo Bulk Migration Tool
import requests
import os
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor


def migrate_artifact(artifact_path):
    """Migrate a single artifact from Nexus to CloudRepo"""
    # Download from Nexus
    nexus_url = f"{NEXUS_BASE}/repository/{artifact_path}"
    response = requests.get(nexus_url, auth=(NEXUS_USER, NEXUS_PASS))


    # Upload to CloudRepo
    cloudrepo_url = f"{CLOUDREPO_BASE}/repository/{artifact_path}"
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {CLOUDREPO_TOKEN}"}
    upload_response = requests.put(
        cloudrepo_url,
        data=response.content,
        headers=headers
    )


    return upload_response.status_code == 201


# Parallel migration for speed
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as executor:
    results = executor.map(migrate_artifact, artifact_list)

Step 4: Migrate Python Packages

For Python packages, update pip configuration:

# ~/.pip/pip.conf or pip.conf
[global]
index-url = https://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_PASSWORD@YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/simple/
extra-index-url = https://pypi.org/simple/

Migrate existing packages:

Terminal window
# Download from Nexus
pip download --index-url https://nexus.example.com/repository/pypi/simple/ \
  --dest ./packages PACKAGE_NAME


# Upload to CloudRepo
twine upload --repository-url https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/pypi/ \
  ./packages/*

Step 5: Update CI/CD Pipelines

Update your CI/CD configurations to point to CloudRepo:

Jenkins Pipeline:

// Jenkinsfile - Before (Nexus)
pipeline {
    environment {
        MAVEN_OPTS = '-Dmaven.repo.remote=https://nexus.example.com/repository/maven-public'
    }
}


// Jenkinsfile - After (CloudRepo)
pipeline {
    environment {
        MAVEN_OPTS = '-Dmaven.repo.remote=https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-public'
    }
}

GitHub Actions:

# .github/workflows/build.yml - Before (Nexus)
- name: Configure Maven
  run: |
    echo "<settings>...</settings>" > ~/.m2/settings.xml


# .github/workflows/build.yml - After (CloudRepo)
- name: Configure Maven for CloudRepo
  run: |
    cat > ~/.m2/settings.xml << EOF
    <settings>
      <servers>
        <server>
          <id>cloudrepo</id>
          <username>${{ secrets.CLOUDREPO_USERNAME }}</username>
          <password>${{ secrets.CLOUDREPO_TOKEN }}</password>
        </server>
      </servers>
      <mirrors>
        <mirror>
          <id>cloudrepo</id>
          <url>https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-public</url>
          <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
        </mirror>
      </mirrors>
    </settings>
    EOF

GitLab CI:

# .gitlab-ci.yml - After (CloudRepo)
variables:
  MAVEN_OPTS: '-Dmaven.repo.local=$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/repository'
  MAVEN_SETTINGS_PATH: '$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/settings.xml'


before_script:
  - echo "$CLOUDREPO_SETTINGS_XML" > $MAVEN_SETTINGS_PATH

Step 6: Migrate Users and Permissions

Map Nexus roles to CloudRepo permissions:

Nexus RoleCloudRepo PermissionDescription
nx-adminAdminFull repository access
nx-deployWriteDeploy artifacts
nx-developerReadDownload artifacts
nx-anonymousPublic ReadPublic repository access

Create users programmatically:

Terminal window
# Create users via CloudRepo API
curl -X POST https://api.cloudrepo.io/users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "developer@example.com",
    "role": "developer",
    "repositories": ["maven-releases", "maven-snapshots"]
  }'

Step 7: Test and Validate

Comprehensive testing checklist:

Terminal window
# 1. Test artifact download
mvn dependency:get -DgroupId=com.example -DartifactId=test -Dversion=1.0.0


# 2. Test artifact upload
mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=test.jar -DgroupId=com.example \
  -DartifactId=test -Dversion=1.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar \
  -DrepositoryId=cloudrepo -Durl=https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-releases


# 3. Verify CI/CD pipeline
git push --force-with-lease  # Trigger your CI/CD pipeline


# 4. Load test (optional)
ab -n 1000 -c 10 https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-public/com/example/test/1.0.0/test-1.0.0.jar

Step 8: Cut Over Production

Execute the production cutover:

  1. Final sync: Run one last migration sync
  2. Update DNS (if using custom domain): Point repository.yourdomain.com to CloudRepo
  3. Switch configurations: Deploy updated settings to all systems
  4. Monitor closely: Watch logs and metrics for 24-48 hours
  5. Decommission Nexus: After validation period, safely shut down Nexus

Warning

Important: Keep Nexus in read-only mode for 30 days as a safety net before full decommissioning.

Repository Configuration Mapping

Understanding how Nexus concepts map to CloudRepo:

Nexus Maven Proxy → CloudRepo Proxy Repositories

<!-- Nexus proxy configuration -->
<proxy>
  <id>central</id>
  <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
</proxy>


<!-- CloudRepo equivalent -->
<repository>
  <id>cloudrepo-central-proxy</id>
  <url>https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-central</url>
</repository>

Nexus Hosted Repositories → CloudRepo Repositories

// build.gradle - Before (Nexus)
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://nexus.example.com/repository/maven-releases"
        credentials {
            username nexusUsername
            password nexusPassword
        }
    }
}


// build.gradle - After (CloudRepo)
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-releases"
        credentials {
            username cloudrepoUsername
            password cloudrepoToken
        }
    }
}

Nexus Group Repositories → CloudRepo Repository Groups

CloudRepo supports repository groups for aggregating multiple repositories:

<!-- settings.xml for CloudRepo groups -->
<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>cloudrepo-group</id>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
      <url>https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/repository/maven-group</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

Python/PyPI Configuration

# pip.conf - Before (Nexus)
[global]
index-url = https://nexus.example.com/repository/pypi-all/simple
trusted-host = nexus.example.com


# pip.conf - After (CloudRepo)
[global]
index-url = https://USERNAME:TOKEN@YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/simple/
extra-index-url = https://pypi.org/simple/

Common Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1: Large Artifact Migration

Problem: Migrating terabytes of artifacts takes too long.

Solution: Use CloudRepo’s bulk import service:

Terminal window
# Contact CloudRepo support for bulk import
# They provide:
# 1. S3 bucket for direct upload
# 2. Parallel processing of your artifacts
# 3. Verification reports


# Or use parallel migration script
find /nexus-data/blobs -type f -name "*.jar" | \
  parallel -j 10 ./migrate-artifact.sh {}

Challenge 2: Custom Nexus Plugins

Problem: Using custom Nexus plugins with no CloudRepo equivalent.

Solutions:

  1. Webhook Integration: Replace plugins with CloudRepo webhooks
  2. API Automation: Use CloudRepo’s REST API for custom workflows
  3. CI/CD Pipeline: Move logic from Nexus plugins to CI/CD
// Example: Replace Nexus cleanup plugin with CloudRepo API
const cleanupOldArtifacts = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.cloudrepo.io/artifacts', {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` },
  });


  const artifacts = await response.json();
  const thirtyDaysAgo = Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;


  for (const artifact of artifacts) {
    if (new Date(artifact.created).getTime() < thirtyDaysAgo) {
      await fetch(`https://api.cloudrepo.io/artifacts/${artifact.id}`, {
        method: 'DELETE',
        headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` },
      });
    }
  }
};

Challenge 3: Repository Cleanup Policies

Problem: Nexus cleanup policies need to be replicated.

Solution: CloudRepo retention policies:

{
  "repository": "maven-snapshots",
  "retentionPolicy": {
    "maxAge": "30d",
    "maxCount": 10,
    "keepReleases": true
  }
}

Challenge 4: Access Control Differences

Problem: Complex LDAP/Active Directory integration in Nexus.

Solution: CloudRepo supports SAML SSO and API tokens:

Terminal window
# Generate API tokens for service accounts
curl -X POST https://api.cloudrepo.io/tokens \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "ci-cd-token",
    "permissions": ["read", "write"],
    "repositories": ["maven-releases", "maven-snapshots"]
  }'

Post-Migration Best Practices

Monitoring and Alerts

Set up comprehensive monitoring:

# CloudRepo monitoring endpoints
monitoring:
  health_check: https://YOUR_ORG.cloudrepo.io/health
  metrics: https://api.cloudrepo.io/metrics


alerts:
  - type: download_failures
    threshold: 5
    window: 5m
  - type: upload_failures
    threshold: 3
    window: 5m
  - type: storage_usage
    threshold: 80%

Backup Strategies

CloudRepo provides automatic backups, but consider:

  1. Artifact versioning: Keep all versions by default
  2. Metadata exports: Regular exports of repository configurations
  3. Disaster recovery plan: Document recovery procedures
Terminal window
# Export repository metadata
curl -X GET https://api.cloudrepo.io/repositories/export \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
  -o repository-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).json

Performance Optimization

Optimize CloudRepo usage:

<!-- Use CloudRepo's CDN for better performance -->
<repository>
  <id>cloudrepo-cdn</id>
  <url>https://cdn.cloudrepo.io/YOUR_ORG/maven-public</url>
</repository>

Cost Tracking

Monitor and optimize costs:

cost_tracker.py
import requests
from datetime import datetime, timedelta


def get_usage_report():
    """Generate monthly usage report"""
    response = requests.get(
        'https://api.cloudrepo.io/usage',
        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {TOKEN}'},
        params={
            'from': (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=30)).isoformat(),
            'to': datetime.now().isoformat()
        }
    )


    usage = response.json()


    # Compare with Nexus costs
    nexus_monthly_cost = 3800  # Your previous Nexus costs
    cloudrepo_monthly_cost = usage['total_cost']
    savings = nexus_monthly_cost - cloudrepo_monthly_cost
    savings_percentage = (savings / nexus_monthly_cost) * 100


    print(f"Monthly Savings: ${savings:,.2f} ({savings_percentage:.1f}%)")


    return usage

Rollback Plan

While CloudRepo migrations are typically smooth, having a rollback plan provides peace of mind:

1. Keep Nexus in Read-Only Mode

Terminal window
# Set Nexus to read-only
curl -X PUT https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/security/readonly \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n admin:password | base64)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enabled": true}'

2. Dual-Publishing Strategy

During transition, publish to both repositories:

// Dual publishing in Jenkins
stage('Deploy') {
    parallel {
        stage('Deploy to CloudRepo') {
            steps {
                sh 'mvn deploy -P cloudrepo'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy to Nexus') {
            when {
                expression { params.DUAL_PUBLISH == true }
            }
            steps {
                sh 'mvn deploy -P nexus'
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Emergency Rollback Procedure

If rollback is needed:

  1. Stop new deployments to CloudRepo
  2. Update all configurations back to Nexus URLs
  3. Remove Nexus read-only mode
  4. Sync any artifacts deployed only to CloudRepo back to Nexus
  5. Document issues for CloudRepo support team
