Variable	Default Value	Description
PUBLIC_CERT	/opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl/cacert.pem	the fully qualified container path for the CA certificate
PUBLIC_CERT_SUBJ	/CN=localhost	the subject used if the CA certificate is created
PRIVATE_KEY	/opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl/cakey.pem	the fully qualified container path for the private certificate key

Notes

• Default credentials are: admin / admin123

• Installation of Nexus is to /opt/sonatype/nexus.

• Nexus will expect to find a java keystore file at /opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl/keystore.jks which resides in the exposed volume /opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl.

  • entrypoint.sh will create keystore.jks if it does not already exist.

• A persistent directory, /nexus-data, is used for configuration, logs, and storage. This directory needs to be writable by the Nexus process, which runs as UID 200.
