## Apache Archiva by cloudimg
Apache Archiva is a build-artifact repository manager: a central store for the binary artifacts your builds produce and consume. It manages internal and proxied Maven, Gradle and Ivy repositories, so your teams publish releases and snapshots to one governed location and pull third-party dependencies through a caching proxy instead of hitting the public internet on every build. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Apache Archiva fully installed and running behind an nginx reverse proxy, so an artifact repository is serving within minutes of launch. The current release available is Apache Archiva 2.2.10.
## Application Stack
Archiva runs as a self-contained standalone distribution: a bundled Jetty servlet container serves the web application and an embedded Apache Derby database holds the security store and configuration. A dedicated unprivileged service account owns the installation, systemd starts it on boot and restarts it on failure, and nginx fronts the application on port 80. The repository storage, security database and search index live on a dedicated data disk.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh administrator password unique to that instance, creates the Archiva admin account through the security API, verifies it, and writes it to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
Open the web UI, read the generated credentials, sign in as admin, and create or proxy your first repository straight away. Point your Maven, Gradle or Ivy build at a single repository URL for both deploy and dependency resolution.
