New installation of Nexus 3.2.0-01 stuck "Initializing..." -- problem with air-gap network perhaps?

[Tom Chatt]

I am trying to do a new installation of Nexus 3.2.0-01 onto an RHEL 7.2 server. I unpacked the install bundle (just into my own directory, running as my non-root user), and did a "nexus start". When I browse to localhost:8081, I see the Nexus Repository splash page, with the message "Initializing..." underneath it. It seems to be stuck on whatever it is that is initializing. I don't see any errors looking in the various log files, and it has created a bunch of directories and files in its sonatype_work area. In the nexus.log, I see no errors, and I see the "Started Sonatype Nexus OSS 3.2.0-01" banner message. When I hit the URL, I see three INFO messages in the log, the last of which is from analytics.internal.EventSubmitterImpl noting that the service URL is https://analytics.sonatype.com. That lead me to wonder if that might be where it is getting stuck, as our development environment is on a closed air-gap network with no Internet access, so that analytics.sonatype.com URL would be inaccessible to the Repository Manager.

Should it be feasible to run Nexus OSS 3.2 on a non-Internet-connected network? If so, any suggestions as to where my Nexus might be getting stuck?

Thanks,

TC

It should definitely be possible to run Nexus 3.2 on a non-internet connected network.

Can you file an issue at https://issues.sonatype.org in the "Dev - Nexus (NEXUS)" and attach your nexus.log file to it?
