Nexus Repository Manager - removing old binary resources

I wonder if there is a way to delete many items from nexus repository. I have some RAW type repositories with some web application releases(simple tar.bz2 binary files):

In some repositories are a lot of them. I want to free up some disk space. I can delete individual files:

but I don't see a bulk removal option.

The best solution for me would be to automatically or manually clean up old files. It's possible in free version? If yes - how?

I don't see Cleanup Policies in main menu:

Solution

  • I found solution for my problem.

    I don't have Cleanup Policy section in my admin console(I think this option is available only for professional or nevest versions) - Thank you @Sebastian for your advices, you directed me to the solution.

    Based on this question: Purge old release from Nexus 3

    I created some manual tasks to cleanup my binary repositories:

    My cleanup task is very simple but anyone who needs something more complicated can write own Groovy script or look for ready solutions.

    import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Component
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Query
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.StorageFacet

def removeFromDate = '2019-02-01'

log.info("delete components for repository: HereYourRepoName")
def compInfo = { Component c -> "${c.group()}:${c.name()}:${c.version()}[${c.lastUpdated()}]}" }
def repo = repository.repositoryManager.get("HereYourRepoName")
StorageFacet storageFacet = repo.facet(StorageFacet)

def tx = storageFacet.txSupplier().get()
tx.begin()
Iterable<Component> components = tx.findComponents(Query.builder().where('last_updated < ').param(removeFromDate).build(), [repo])
tx.commit()
tx.close()

log.info("about to delete " + components.flatten(compInfo))
for(Component c : components) {
    log.info("deleting " + compInfo(c))
    tx2 = storageFacet.txSupplier().get()
    tx2.begin()
    tx2.deleteComponent(c)
    tx2.commit()
    tx2.close()
}

log.info("finished deleting " + components.flatten(compInfo))

    Logs viewer is very helpful to debug scripts :)
