I recently setup a Nexus Professional (now known as Sonatype Nexus Repository) instance on a Solaris zone for Apache. The ASF infra team requests documentation for any production instance to help maintain the road. I captured every step of the process, from setting up the users, installing Nexus, hooking it into SMF (Solaris's inet.d replacement), to configuring mod_proxy and https certificates, and allowing rsync access from the Maven Central repository.
In addition to serving as a server book for this instance, I think these docs are a great resource for users to see an end to end installation on Solaris (mostly all of it is applicable to Linux).
I will continue to update these pages as things change, and will also document how I have configured the Nexus application, to show how to properly configure Repository Targets, Permissions, Staging Profiles, etc.
