Apache Archiva on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Apache Archiva on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Apache Archiva is a repository manager for build artifacts — it hosts your Maven (and other) repositories, proxies remote repositories, manages releases and snapshots, and controls access with role-based security. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• Apache Archiva (standalone, bundled Jetty) managed by systemd
• The Archiva web console on port 80, protected by authentication
• An administrator account seeded with a unique password on first boot (no shared default, no manual setup wizard)
• Repository storage, indexes, and the security database on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated password with `sudo cat /root/archiva-credentials.txt`, then sign in at the VM's public IP to create repositories and configure proxy connectors. Point your `settings.xml` at the Archiva repository URLs to deploy and resolve artifacts. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers repository setup and proxying.
