Install the JFrog Bridge (Self-Managed)

For self-managed environments, setting up the Bridge is the mandatory first step to unlock AI/ML capabilities for your organization.

See below for how to install the bridge. Refer to Manage Bridges for more details.

❗️

Prerequisites:

• You must have Platform Administrator privileges to verify that the JFrog Bridge has been installed.
• To use AI/ML capabilities, your JFrog Platform must meet the following minimum version requirements:
  • Artifactory: 7.117.5 or higher
  • Xray: 3.137.30 or higher
  • Package Catalog: 1.34.6 or higher

Install the Bridge

1. Navigate to AI/ML.

2. In the Internal Artifactory URL field, enter the URL that allows the Bridge client (running in your Kubernetes cluster) to communicate with your JPD.

   📘

   The bridge should be installed where it has a network connection to Artifactory.

   
   

3. In the Administration module, select Security > General and scroll down to Connection details.

4. Copy the Join Key and download the values.yaml file.

   

5. Copy the generated Helm command snippet and run it in the Kubernetes cluster where your JPD is installed.

   Example complete Helm command snippet:

   Shell

   helm repo add jfrog https://charts.jfrog.io/ && \\
   helm repo update && \\
   helm install jfrog-bridge jfrog/bridge --set jfrogUrl="<YOUR_JPD_URL>" --set tunnel.client.bridges.jfrogml.local.url="<YOUR_INTERNAL_ARTIFACTORY_URL>" --values values.yaml --set joinKey=<JOIN_KEY>
   

   Where:

   • the jfrogUrl parameter in the Helm command snippet will update automatically according to your base URL.
   • the tunnel.client.bridges.jfrogml.local.url will update automatically according to the Internal Artifactory URL that you input.

6. Select the confirmation checkbox "I've successfully installed the JFrog Bridge..."

7. Click Next.
