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.
