Nexus Prerequisites

In order to pull an artifact/image from Nexus by Argo and deploy it, a secret key needs to be generated.

  1. Generate a secret token from Kubernetes for Nexus.

    Code Block
    kubectl create secret docker-registry --dry-run=true docker-nexus \
       --docker-server=url\
       --docker-username=admin \
       --docker-password=password \
       --docker-email=email\
       --output="jsonpath={.data.\.dockerconfigjson}"
  2. Copy the generated secret token.

  3. Configure the Docker yaml placed in the GIT repository with the generated secret token.
    It will look similar to lined 6-17 below:
