Migrating from on-prem Nexus OSS to k8s based OSS

[Brendan Classen]

Our on prem nexus has several proxied repos, hosted repos as well as several repo groups.  Is there a clean way to export all the repository details into the deployment.yaml so they will be created when the pod is created?

[Michael Prescott]

Brendan, one way is to export the repository configuration via the REST API, then reimport it. Now, that will give you a configured but empty instance. If you're doing a migration then what you're asking for makes sense, but isn't quite the paradigm that Repository is built on. The embedded database is the system of record for a bunch of metadata about those binaries. You really need to be attaching the whole configuration folder to your k8s instance (assuming that things like storage locations aren't changed).
