Terraform Template to deploy Artifactory Enterprise

Terraform Template For Artifactory Enterprise

Prerequisites:

• AWS account
• Basic knowledge to AWS
• Pre created Keys
• Basic knowledge of Artifactory
• Learn about system requirements for Artifactory

Steps to Deploy Artifactory Enterprise using Terraform template

1. Set your AWS account credentials. Easy way to do it is by setting environment variables.

      export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key"
      export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"
      export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="aws_region"
   

   To learn more about Terraform aws provider follow there documentation. https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/index.html

2. Make Changes in variables.tf file to change default values to desired once. Also pass Artifactory Enterprise licenses as string in Variables artifactory_license_1-5." e.g Change disk space to 500Gb:

   variable "volume_size" {
     description = "Disk size for each EC2 instances"
     default     = 500
   }
   

3. Run command terraform init -var 'key_name=myAwsKey' This is install required plugin for AWS provider.

4. Run command terraform plan -var 'key_name=myAwsKey'.

5. Run command terraform apply -var 'key_name=myAwsKey' to deploy Artifactory Enterprise cluster on AWS.

   It will take approximately 15 min to bring up cluster.

   You will get ELB Url to access Artifactory.By default This template will start only 1 node in Artifactory cluster. It takes 7-10 minutes for Artifactory to start and attach instance to ELB.

   Outputs:
   
   address = artifactory-elb-265664219.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
   

6. Access Artifactory UI using ELB Url provided in outputs.

7. Scale your cluster using following command:

   terraform apply -var 'key_name=myAwsKey' -var 'secondary_node_count=2'

   In this example we are scaling artifactory cluster to 2 nodes.

   Note: You can only scale nodes to number of artifactory licenses you have available for cluster.

8. SSH into Artifactory primary instance and write inactiveServerCleaner plugin in '/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/etc/plugins' directory.

9. Command to destroy cluster: terraform destroy -var 'key_name=myAwsKey'

Note:

1. This template only supports Artifactory version 5.8.x and above.
2. Turn off daily backups. Read Documentation provided here
3. Use SSL Certificate with valid wild card to you artifactory as docker registry with subdomain method.

Steps to setup Artifactory as secure docker registry

considering you have SSL certificate for *.jfrog.team

1. Pass your SSL Certificate in variable ssl_certificate as string
2. Pass your SSL Certificate Key in variable ssl_certificate_key as string
3. Set certificate_domain as jfrog.team
4. Set artifactory_server_name as artifactory if you want to access artifactory with https://artifactory.jfrog.team
5. Create DNS for example Route53 with entry artifactory.jfrog.team pointing to ELB value provided as output in CloudFormation Stack.
6. Create DNS for example Route53 with entry *.jfrog.team pointing to ELB value provided as output in CloudFormation Stack.
7. If you have virtual docker registry with name docker-virtual in artifactory. You can access it via docker-virtual.jfrog.team e.g docker pull docker-virtual.jfrog.team/nginx

Steps to upgrade Artifactory Version

1. Change value of artifactory_version from old version to new Artifactory version you want to deploy. for e.g. 5.8.1 to 5.8.2 Run command terraform apply -var 'key_name=myAwsKey' -var 'secondary_node_count=2' -ver 'artifactory_version=5.8.2'.

2. You will see instances will get upgraded one by one. Depending on your cluster size it will take 20-30 minutes to update stack.

Use Artifactory as backend

To to store state as an artifact in a given repository of Artifactory follow documentation provided at https://www.terraform.io/docs/backends/types/artifactory.html
