Use haproxy to offer a suitable docker registry to use with an nexus foss server.

You need a nexus server running whose hostname is nexus and the easiest way is to link it to the existing nexus container.

# start a nexus server
$ docker run -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -t \
     -p 8081:8081 -d --name nexus -h nexus sathlan/nexus

# start the haproxy server
$ docker run \
     -v server.pem /etc/ssl/private/server.pem:z \
     --link nexus \
     -p 443:443 -d --name nexus-haproxy sathlan/nexus-haproxy

Or you can provide your own haproxy configuration

$ docker run \
     -v server.pem:/etc/ssl/private/server.pem:z \
     -v haproxy.cfg:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:z
     -p 443:443 -d --name nexus-haproxy sathlan/nexus-haproxy

The server.pem is the concatenation of:

• server private key - server.key
• server certificate - server.crt
• authority certificate - ca.crt

$ cat server.key server.crt ca.crt > server.pem

A rake task can do a self signed certificate for testing purpose:

$ rake server.pem

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake spec
