Upload files to Sonatype Nexus 3 using Python

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to upload some rpm files to a Nexus 3 yum repository. Can't figure out how to configure the request call.

Answer 1

Following this documentation, you can easily upload files to the hosted Yum repository using the HTTP PUT method.

An example of using the same using python:

import requests

files = {'file': open('yourfile.rpm', 'rb')}
response = requests.post('http://nexusURL/repository/yumRepo/yourfile.rpm', files=files, auth=('username', 'password'))

Answer 2

import requests

response = requests.put("https://example.com/repository/yum-local/yourfile.rpm", data=open('yourfile.rpm', 'rb'), auth=("admin_username", "admin_password"))
