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

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

Procedure

  • To enable the JFrog Artifactory plugin, set the disabled property to false in your dynamic-plugins.yaml file as follows:

    plugins:
      - package: oci://ghcr.io/redhat-developer/rhdh-plugin-export-overlays/backstage-community-plugin-jfrog-artifactory:<tag>
        disabled: false
        pluginConfig:
          dynamicPlugins:
            frontend:
              backstage-community.plugin-jfrog-artifactory:
                mountPoints:
                  - mountPoint: entity.page.image-registry/cards
                    importName: JfrogArtifactoryPage
                    config:
                      layout:
                        gridColumn: 1 / -1
                      if:
                        anyOf:
                          - isJfrogArtifactoryAvailable

    where:

    <tag>

    Enter your RHDH version of Backstage and the plugin version, in the format bs_<backstage-version>__<plugin-version> (note the double underscore delimiter). To find these versions, complete the following steps:

    1. Find your Backstage version in the RHDH release notes preface.
    2. Locate the plugin version in the Dynamic Plugins Reference guide. For example, for RHDH 1.10 based on Backstage 1.49.4, use the format bs_1.49.4__<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>'
