Install JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8

We will be installing the JFrog’s Artifactory open source edition. You can as well go with the pro edition if you have the budget. We will run JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8 in containers using Podman.

Step 1: Update System

Ensure your CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8 system is updated.

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Podman on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8

Install Podman and container tools on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8 Linux machine.

sudo dnf -y install podman buildah

Confirm installation of Podman:

$ podman version
Client:       Podman Engine

API Version:  4.2.0
Go Version:   go1.18.9
Built:        Tue Feb 21 18:16:34 2023
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

Step 2: Download JFrog Artifactory image

Download the JFrog Artifactory container image:

podman pull docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss:latest

Confirm image is available locally:

$ podman images
REPOSITORY                                TAG      IMAGE ID       CREATED       SIZE
docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss   latest   3ed8110393b1   4 weeks ago   805 MB

For the commercial edition, use:

podman pull docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-cpp-ce

Step 3: Run JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8

Create a working directory for JFrog container. This is where JFrog Artifactory will store its data.

sudo mkdir -p  /jfrog/artifactory
sudo chown -R 1030 /jfrog

Use the podman command line tool to start an instance of JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8:

podman run --name jfrog-artifactory 
  -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 
  -v /jfrog/artifactory:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory 
  docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss:latest

Check container status:

$ podman ps
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                                           COMMAND  CREATED         STATUS             PORTS                             NAMES
ac0e102f254a  docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss:latest           11 minutes ago  Up 11 minutes ago  0.0.0.0:8081-8082->8081-8082/tcp  artifactory

Configure firewalld to allow access to JFrog Artifactory main application port.

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8081/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8082/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 3: Manage JFrog Artifactory on CentOS 8 | Rocky Linux 8 with Systemd

As you’ve seen, we’re managing the container with the podman command line. Let’s introduce systemd to the mix to ensure the service can be started automatically at system boot.

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/artifactory.service<<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Setup Systemd script for Artifactory Container
After=network.target

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/podman kill artifactory
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/podman rm artifactory
ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman run --name artifactory -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 
  -v /jfrog/artifactory:/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory 
  docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-oss:latest
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/podman kill artifactory
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/podman rm artifactory

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Reload systemd:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Then start Artifactory container with systemd:

sudo systemctl start artifactory

Enable it to start at system boot.

$ sudo systemctl enable artifactory
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/artifactory.service → /etc/systemd/system/artifactory.service.

Status can be checked with:

$ systemctl status artifactory
