Nexus (proxy)Repository Connection pending on remote storage And 404 on repository acces

Question

I have set up a sonatype Nexus 3.0.0-03. And trying to configure proxy repositories.

Problems:

• the created repositories are not accessible. 404 If I just open repository URL.
• The status in the repositories overview is on Online - Remote Connection Pending...

Type and Format of repository I have setup:

• proxy, npm
• proxy, nuget
• proxy, maven

The goal is proxy the remote Nexus npm repository and use it as a npm registry.

Additional information:

• I have no access to the settings of the remote Nexus, but as far as I understood this is not even necessary.
• Accessing the remote repository with npm is possible.
• I have already tried using npm install on created repository and it does not work. My Nexus is not fetching from remote Nexus' repository.

Answer 1

Solved by correcting the proxy settings. Host was not reachable, because the companies Nexus is not reachable from outside of companies network, but inside of companies network.

I had to change no_proxy and NO_PROXY environment variables from *.company.com to .company.com

*.company.com won't work for nexus.company.com
