Chapter 3. Enable and configure the JFrog plugin

Enable and configure the JFrog Artifactory plugin to display container images from your repository in Red Hat Developer Hub.

3.1. Enable the JFrog Artifactory plugin
Copy link

To enable the JFrog Artifactory plugin, set the disabled property to false.

Procedure

  • Set the value to false as follows: 

    global:
  dynamic:
    includes:
      - dynamic-plugins.default.yaml
    plugins:
      - package: oci://ghcr.io/redhat-developer/rhdh-plugin-export-overlays/backstage-community-plugin-jfrog-artifactory:<tag>
        disabled: false

    The <tag> variable is your RHDH application's version of Backstage and the plugin version, in the format: bs_<backstage-version>__<plugin-version> (note the double underscore delimiter).

  • To find the correct image tag for <tag>:

    1. Look in the RHDH release notes preface for your Backstage version.
    2. Locate the plugin version for paths starting with oci://ghcr.io within one of the tables in the Dynamic Plugins Reference guide.

For example, because RHDH 1.9 is based on Backstage 1.45.3, the tag will have the format bs_1.45.3__<plugin-version>.

Tip

To ensure environment stability, use a SHA256 digest instead of a version tag. See Determining SHA256 Digests.

3.2. Configure the JFrog Artifactory plugin

Configure proxy settings and annotations to display container images stored in your JFrog Artifactory repository.

Procedure

  1. Set the proxy to the required JFrog Artifactory server in the app-config.yaml file as follows: 

    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

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

    metadata:
    annotations:
      'jfrog-artifactory/image-name': '<IMAGE-NAME>'
