Deploying Sonatype Nexus on AWS Linux with Terraform

Hey everyone,

In this guide, I’ll walk you through deploying Sonatype Nexus on AWS Linux using Terraform. Sonatype Nexus is a repository manager used for managing and distributing software artifacts.

1. Terraform Setup:

Make sure you have Terraform installed on your local machine. You can download Terraform from the official website: Terraform Downloads

2. AWS Setup:

Ensure you have an AWS account set up and configured. Make sure AWS CLI is set up on your local machine or set the AWS credentials in your Terraform configuration.

3. Terraform Configuration:

Create a directory for your Terraform project and navigate into it. Inside this directory, create a file named main.tf which will contain the Terraform configuration.

4. Run Terraform:

Initialize your Terraform configuration and apply it.

terraform init
terraform plan 
terraform apply

5. SSH into the Instance:

Once the instance is up and running, SSH into it:

ssh -i /path/to/your/key.pem ec2-user@<instance-public-ip>
