Chapter 3. Installing and configuring the JFrog Artifactory plugin

JFrog Artifactory is a front-end plugin that displays the information about your container images stored in the JFrog Artifactory repository. The JFrog Artifactory plugin is preinstalled with Developer Hub and disabled by default. To use it, you need to enable and configure it first.

Important

The JFrog Artifactory plugin is a Technology Preview feature only.

Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend using them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information on Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Scope.

Additional detail on how Red Hat provides support for bundled community dynamic plugins is available on the Red Hat Developer Support Policy page.

3.1. Installation

The JFrog Artifactory plugin is preinstalled in Developer Hub with basic configuration properties. To enable it, set the disabled property to false as follows: 

global:
  dynamic:
    includes:
      - dynamic-plugins.default.yaml
    plugins:
      - package: ./dynamic-plugins/dist/backstage-community-plugin-jfrog-artifactory
        disabled: false

3.2. Configuration

    proxy:
  endpoints:
    ‘/jfrog-artifactory/api’:
      target: http://<hostname>:8082 # or https://<customer>.jfrog.io
      headers:
      # Authorization: 'Bearer <YOUR TOKEN>'
      # Change to "false" in case of using a self-hosted Artifactory instance with a self-signed certificate
      secure: true
    Copy to Clipboard

  2. Add the following annotation to the entity’s catalog-info.yaml file to enable the JFrog Artifactory plugin features in RHDH components:
