Artifactory Storage

Artifactory HA supports a wide range of storage back ends (for more information, see Filestore Configuration).

Set the storage type using artifactory.persistence.type and pass the required configuration. The default is file-system replication, which replicates data across all nodes.

📘

Note

All storage configurations (except NFS) include a default artifactory.persistence.redundancy parameter that sets the number of binary replicas stored across the cluster's nodes. Once set on initial deployment, this value cannot be updated using Helm. Set it to a number greater than half your cluster's size, and never scale the cluster below that number.

Alert: Use a PVC when Using an External Blob Storage

When using external blob storage (for example, AWS S3, Azure Blob storage, or Google storage), a PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) is still required to persist temporary storage during loss of connection to external storage or if the Artifactory pod crashes.

Skipping the PVC can cause data loss on unplanned pod termination.

Deploying Artifactory on an OpenShift Cluster and Using the Azure PostgreSQL Database Service

When deploying Artifactory on an OpenShift Cluster while using the Azure PostgreSQL database service, the service requires a TLS encrypted database connection. To learn more, see Metadata Service Troubleshooting.
