How to create a mirror of Nexus on another server

Hi

How do I setup and configure a mirror of my existing nexus server?
Would like to have a backup location if one of my servers goes down.
Is it possible, or should I make sure I always deploy artifacts to both?

Regards Johan

Hi,

I am currently evaluation repository managers and since we have distributed teams this is a feature that we would like to use. Is this possible or I am missing the point - should proxies be used? I suppose my interest in this type of feature is that it kills two birds with one stone since I would expect the mirror to be a backup of the other instance?

Thanks,
 Adrian

Setups for distributed teams very depending on your situation.

If your distributed teams all work in offices (or remotely connect to  
a satellite office)  then you would want a Nexus in each office.  The  
satellite offices would proxy against the repository manager in your  
main office (this is where your artifacts would be deployed to)


On the other hand if you just have single office and a handful of  
telecommuting developers then you just need a single Nexus install.


In both cases you need a main Nexus install that will define your  
proxy and hosted repositories.  All deployments would go to this Nexus.

Any satellite Nexus would just be used to proxy artifacts from your  
main install.
