Commands

The following sections describe the commands available in the JFrog CLI for use with JFrog Distribution.

Creating or updating an unsigned Release Bundle

This commands creates and updates an unsigned Release Bundle on JFrog Distribution.

Note

This commands require version 2.0 or higher ofJFrog Distribution.

Commands Params

Command-name

release-bundle-create / release-bundle-update

Abbreviation

rbc / rbu

Command options

--server-id

[Optional] Artifactory server ID configured using the config command.

--spec

[Optional] Path to a file spec. For more details, please refer to Using File Specs.

--spec-vars

[Optional] List of semicolon-separated(;) variables in the form of "key1=value1;key2=value2;..." to be replaced in the File Spec. In the File Spec, the variables should be used as follows: ${key1}.

--target-props

[Optional] The list of properties, in the form of key1=value1;key2=value2,..., to be added to the artifacts after distribution of the release bundle.

--target

[Optional] The target path for distributed artifacts on the edge node. If not specified, the artifacts will have the same path and name on the edge node, as on the source Artifactory server. For flexibility in specifying the distribution path, you can include placeholders in the form of {1}, {2} which are replaced by corresponding tokens in the pattern path that are enclosed in parenthesis.

--dry-run

[Default: false] Set to true to disable communication with JFrog Distribution.

--sign

[Default: false] If set to true, automatically signs the release bundle version.

--passphrase

[Optional] The passphrase for the signing key.

--desc

[Optional] Description of the release bundle.

--release-notes-path

[Optional] Path to a file describes the release notes for the release bundle version.

--release-notes-syntax

[Default: plain_text] The syntax for the release notes. Can be one of markdown, asciidoc, or plain_text.

--exclusions

[Optional] A list of semicolon-separated(;) exclude path patterns, to be excluded from the Release Bundle. Allows using wildcards.

--repo

[Optional] A repository name at source Artifactory to store release bundle artifacts in. If not provided, Artifactory will use the default one.

--insecure-tls

[Default: false] Set to true to skip TLS certificates verification.

--detailed-summary

[Default: false] Set to true to return the SHA256 value of the release bundle manifest.

Command arguments

release bundle name

The name of the release bundle.

release bundle version

The release bundle version.

pattern

Specifies the source path in Artifactory, from which the artifacts should be bundled, in the following format: <repository name>/<repository path>. You can use wildcards to specify multiple artifacts. This argument should not be sent along with the --spec option.

Example 1

Create a release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include the files defined in the File Spec specified by the --spec option.

jf ds rbc --spec=/path/to/rb-spec.json myApp 1.0.0

Example 2

Create a release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include the files defined in the File Spec specified by the --spec option. GPG sign the release bundle after it is created.

jf ds rbc --spec=/path/to/rb-spec.json --sign myApp 1.0.0

Example 3

Update the release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include the files defined in the File Spec specified by the --spec option.

jf ds rbu --spec=/path/to/rb-spec.json myApp 1.0.0

Example 4

Update the release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include all the zip files inside the zip folder, located at the root of the my-local-repo repository.

jf ds rbu myApp 1.0.0 "my-local-repo/zips/*.zip"

Example 5

Update the release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include all the zip files inside the zip folder, located at the root of the my-local-repo repository. The files will be distributed on the Edge Node to the target-zips folder, under the root of the my-target-repo repository.

jf ds rbu myApp 1.0.0 "my-local-repo/zips/*.zip" --target my-target-repo/target-zips/

Example 6

This example uses placeholders. It creates the release bundle with name myApp and version 1.0.0. The release bundle will include all the zip files inside the zip folder, located at the root of the my-local-repo repository. The files will be distributed on the Edge Node to the target-zips folder, under the root of the my-target-repo repository. In addition, the distributed files will be renamed on the Edge Node, by adding -target to the name of each file.

jf ds rbc myApp 1.0.0 "my-local-repo/zips/(*).zip" --target "my-target-repo/target-zips/{1}-target.zip"

Example 7

This example creates a release bundle and applies "pathMapping" to the artifact paths after distributing the release bundle.

All occurrences of the "a1.in" file are fetched and mapped to the "froggy" repository at the edges.

  1. Fetch all artifacts retrieved by the AQL query.

  2. Create the release bundle with the artifacts and apply the path mappings at the edges after distribution.

The "pathMapping" option is provided, allowing users to control the destination of the release bundle artifacts at the edges.

To learn more, visit the Create Release Bundle v1 Version documentation.

Note: The "target" option is designed to work for most use cases. The "pathMapping" option is intended for specific use cases, such as including a list.manifest.json file inside the release bundle.

In that scenario, the distribution server dynamically includes all the manifest.json and their layers and assigns the given path mapping, whereas "target" doesn't achieve this.

jf ds rbc --spec=/path/to/rb-spec.json myApp 1.0.0

{
  "files": [
    {
      "aql": {
        "items.find": {

              }
            },
            {
              "$or": [
                {
                  "path": {

                  }
                }
              ]
            }
