Most of today's software is assembled using open source, proprietary, and third party code. Because of this, many organizations rely on repository management to efficiently source, store, share, and deploy software parts. Rather than direct download from public repositories, repeated downloads, or manual distribution, using a repository manager makes it the central access and management point for any component usage in your software development life cycle. This central role makes it easy for everyone in your organization to understand where things are stored. Nexus Repository Manager (NXRM) is the repository management solution that is used by HCQIS to store and manage whatever libraries and other binary artifacts that the users require.

Please use the NXRM Getting Started page to begin your introduction to the NXRM product. For support using NXRM and our other CICD Tools see the HIDS SecDevOps team support page. 

Nexus Repository Manger is set up with Anonymous Pull capabilities. LOBs are required to use a service account to pull from/push to Nexus RM in their CI/CD pipelines implemented in Cloudbees Jenkins or Ansible Tower. Thus only a handful of users per LOB need access for manual pushes and other maintenance of repositories.

Nexus Repository Manager supports 3 types of repositories:

• Hosted
• Proxy
• Group

For more information on Repository types, refer to Sonatype's Repository Types
