Migrating to Nexus Repository from Artifactory

Migrating from Artifactory to Sonatype Nexus Repository consists of migrating each of your hosted repositories individually before setting up any desired proxy repositories or adding your migrated repositories to a group.

Note

Note that the migration process outlined below makes use of Nexus Repository's import feature, which is only available to Pro customers.

The migration process is as follows:

  1. Export each of your hosted Artifactory repositories individually using the Artifactory Import/Export functionality following Artifactory's documentation.

  2. Create a hosted repository in Nexus Repository for each hosted repository that you wish to import. You do not need to create proxy or group repositories at this time. See our repository management documentation for details on how to create a repository.

  3. Import the exported data into the new hosted repository's storage folder using the Nexus Repository import process. Note that importing a repository requires a Pro license. See our repository import documentation.

  4. Optionally, configure any desired proxy repositories, and/or add your hosted repository to a group.
