How to integrate Artifactory with Azure DevOps for uploading build artifacts?

Artifactory is one of the popular binary repository managers. It is Java based open source tool, used for storing build artifacts and docker images.

Some of the key features of Artifactory:

• Supports 27 different package types including helm charts, docker images regardless of tech stack.
• A single source of truth for all your binaries
• Integration with all CICD tools
• role based authorization with teams to manage artifacts 
• you can create local, remote and virtual repositories

Pre-requisites:

• Artifactory is installed, up and running
• Install only JFrog Extension by using Azure Devops Market place. do NOT install JFrog Artifactory extn.
• Service connection is created in Azure Devops for connecting to Artifactory
• Service connection for connecting to GitHub from Azure Devops using Personal Access Token
• Java based webapp is configured in GitHub 

We will automate building a Java project configured in GitHub and we will use Maven to build, package in Azure YAML pipeline and upload WAR file into Artifactory.

Steps to be followed to create a pipeline:

Create a Pipeline:

Login to your Azure Devops dashboard https://dev.azure.com

Go to Pipelines, Click New

select your SCM, in my case, Java Web App code is in GitHub.

Select the Java Repo, select Maven from the option. This will generate YAML file for us.

Add a task for uploading WAR file.

Click on Show assistant, search for generic and select JFrog Generic Artifacts

Choose Upload as command, choose service connection for Artifactory, enter *.war as pattern, enter repo name where artifact will be uploaded. Click on Add.

Now save the pipeline.. Run the pipeline

Azure DevOps YAML Pipeline Code

using the pipeline code we can automate build using Maven and upload WAR file into Artifactory

# Build your Java project using Maven and Upload WAR file to Artifactory

trigger:

- main

pool:

vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- task: Maven@3

inputs:

mavenPomFile: 'MyWebApp/pom.xml'

mavenOptions: '-Xmx3072m'

javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion'

jdkVersionOption: '1.8'

jdkArchitectureOption: 'x64'

publishJUnitResults: true

testResultsFiles: '**/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml'

goals: 'package'

- task: JFrogGenericArtifacts@1

inputs:

command: 'Upload'

connection: 'Artifactory_svc_conn'

specSource: 'taskConfiguration'

fileSpec: |

{

"files": [

{

"pattern": "*.war",

"target": "libs-snapshot-local"

}

]

}

failNoOp: true

Now login to Artifactory..Click on Artifactory --> Artifacts. We can see the WAR file being uploaded.

This is how we can easily integrate Artifactory with Azure DevOps for uploading build artifacts.

How to Install JFrog Artifactory on Ubuntu | Setup JFrog Artifactory on Ubuntu | Install JFrog Artifactory 7.X on Ubuntu 22.0.4

Artifactory is one of the popular binary repository managers. It is Java based open source tool, used for storing build artifacts and docker images.

Some of the key features of Artifactory:

• Supports 27 different package types including helm charts, docker images regardless of tech stack.
• A single source of truth for all your binaries
• Integration with all CICD tools
• role based authorization with teams to manage artifacts 
• you can create local, remote and virtual repositories

Artifactory can be integrated with many Continuous integration and Continuous delivery tools. Artifactory is mainly used by Ant, Maven and Gradle build tools. Let us see how to install Artifactory on Ubuntu 22.0.4 using Deb packages.

Pre-requisites:

• VM needs to have at least 4GB RAM, for AWS choose at least medium instance type.
• Default ports 8081 and 8082 needs to be opened. 8081 for Artifactory REST APIs. 8082 for everything else (UI, and all other product’s APIs).

Change Host Name to Artifactory
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname Artifactory

Update Ubuntu OS
sudo apt update

Add JFrog Artifactory APT repository

echo "deb https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/artifactory-debs xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/artifactory.list

Import repository GPG key by running the following commands

curl -fsSL  https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public|sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/artifactory.gpg

Update the package

sudo apt update

Install Artifactory
sudo apt install jfrog-artifactory-oss -y

The above message should confirm Artifactory have been successfully installed.
Now let us start Artifactory service.

Start Artifactory 
sudo systemctl start artifactory.service

Create symbolic link
sudo systemctl enable artifactory.service


Check whether Artifactory is running?
sudo systemctl status artifactory.service

Press q to quit 

You can also check the logs

sudo tail -f /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/log/artifactory-service.log

Check if service is running locally on 8081 port

curl localhost:8081

Access Artifactory App
Go to browser and open public IP/DNS name along with port no:8081
http://your_public_dns_name:8081

You should see Artifactory welcome page, login with default username and password which is
admin/password

After Login, click on Get started. 

Now reset admin password. enter as Admin1234/Admin1234

Skip for base URL and skip proxy setup

 

Click Next, click on Finish

That's it! Artifactory is setup successfully.

How to Setup JFrog Artifactory using Docker-Compose | Install Artifactory using Docker Compose | Install Artifactory using Docker Compose on Ubuntu 18.0.4

How to setup Artifactory using Docker compose?

Artifactory is open source, binary repository manager. Artifactory is the single solution for managing all the artifacts, binaries, files and containers throughout your software supply chain. 

Some of the key features of Artifactory:

• Supports 27 different package types including helm charts, docker images regardless of tech stack.
• A single source of truth for all your binaries
• Integration with all CICD tools
• role based authorization with teams to manage artifacts 
• you can create local, remote and virtual repositories

What is Docker Compose?

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. Since Docker Compose lets you configure related containers in a single YAML file, you get the same Infrastructure-as-Code abilities as Kubernetes. But they come in a simpler system that’s more suited to smaller applications that don’t need Kubernetes’ resiliency and scaling.

 

The purpose of docker-compose is to function as docker cli but to issue multiple commands much more quickly. To make use of docker-compose, you need to encode the commands you were running before into a docker-compose.yml file

 

Run docker-compose up and Compose starts and runs your entire app.

Watch the Steps in YouTube channel: 

Pre-requisites:

• Ubuntu EC2 up and running with at least t2.medium (4GB RAM), 2GB will not work
  
• Port 8081, 8082 is opened in security firewall rule
• instance should have docker-compose installed

Change Host Name to Artifactory
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname Artifactory

Perform System update

sudo apt update

Install Docker-Compose

sudo apt install docker-compose -y

Create docker-compose.yml

this yml has all the configuration for installing Artifactory on Ubuntu EC2.

sudo vi docker-compose.yml 

(Copy the below code high-lighted in yellow color)

version: "3.3"

services:

  artifactory-service:

    image: docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss:7.49.6

    container_name: artifactory

    restart: always

    networks:

      - ci_net

    ports:

      - 8081:8081

      - 8082:8082

    volumes:

      - artifactory:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory

volumes:

  artifactory:

networks:

  ci_net:

Save the file by entering :wq!

Now execute the compose file using Docker compose command to start Artifactory Container

sudo docker-compose up -d 

-d means detached mode

Make sure Artifactory is up and running

sudo docker-compose logs --follow

Once you see the message, that's it. Artifactory is been setup successfully. Now press Control C and enter to come out of the above screen.

Check Artifactory is up and running by typing below command:

curl localhost:8081

This confirms that Artifactory is up and running locally.
