We are pleased to announce the arrival of the Sonatype Nexus Repository 3, Milestone 5 release.
Our focus in this milestone release was:
Hosting and proxying Docker registries
Browsing and searching Docker images
Browsing components and assets that belong to any repository format
Docker format capabilities in Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 are brand new, and we are excited to have it going out into the wild so we can hear your feedback.
Read more and download Sonatype Nexus Repository 3, Milestone 5 on the release announcement. We want to hear what you love, what you hate, and what is missing. You can send us an email at nexus-feedback@sonatype.com. Or, if you'd like to have a discussion, we'd be happy to talk to you over chat. We are interested in any Sonatype Nexus Repository 3-related feedback, but specifically would know what you think about:
Creating and using Docker repositories
Browsing repository components and assets
Since Docker is a brand new format capability in Nexus 3, we've provided users with documentation to get it set up. You can check out the documentation and let us know your thoughts on this.
Browsing: We are currently working to resolve an issue that specifically impacts the ability to browse repositories. When first navigating to a repository, the list of components or assets may appear blank until you either scroll, refresh, or return to the page.
Docker Registry v2: For this milestone, we have added Docker Registry v1 capabilities, so that we can get early feedback on how Docker fits within Sonatype Nexus Repository.
Docker v2 specific features are currently unavailable, though are being worked as part of the next milestone, and will likely be complete as part of the GA release. A full list of v2 features is available here. We plan to get feedback from the community along the way to help fine tune how we support you all in the future.
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 OSS General Availability: The team continues to crank, and we are getting closer and closer to the general availability of Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 OSS. We've got another milestone that will include NPM format capabilities, and then we are looking to release OSS later this fall.
