Include Self-managed Sites in a Curation Federation

The Curation Federation has a star topology - one JPD acts as the Controller that distributes updates, and the other JPDs act as Followers that receive updates. When the Controller is a SaaS JPD, follow these procedures to include a Self-managed site as a Follower.

To prepare a Self-managed Follower JPD:

1. On the Artifactory server:

   • Upgrade Artifactory to 7.117.15 and above.

   • Enable the PlatformFederation and JFBUS Microservices in the Artifactory system.yaml file, as follows:

   YAML

   platformFederation:
     enabled: true
   jfbus:
     enabled: true

2. On the Xray server:

   • Upgrade Xray to 3.143.xxx and above. Verify that Catalog is running with the Valkey cache manager.

   • Enable the JFrog Curation service in the Xray system.yaml file as follows:

   YAML

   curation:
     federation:
       enabled: True

3. Install the JFrog Bridge Client .

4. Add a Bridge to the Cloud (Saas) JPD that acts as the Controller in the Curation Federation.
