CLI for JFrog Artifactory

Overview

This page describes how to use JFrog CLI with JFrog Artifactory.

Syntax

When used with JFrog Artifactory, JFrog CLI uses the following syntax:

$ jfrog rt command-name global-options command-options arguments

where:

command-name	The command to execute. Note that you can use either the full command name or its abbreviation.
global-options	A set of global options that may be used for all commands: `--url:` (Mandatory) The Artifactory URL. `--user:` (Optional) The Artifactory user. `--password:` (Optional) The Artifactory password. `--apikey:` (Optional) The Artifactory API key. `--ssh-key-path:` (Optional) The path to your SSH key file when authenticating with your RSA keys.
command-options	A set of options corresponding to the command
arguments	A set of arguments corresponding to the command

Environment Variables

The Artifactory upload command makes use of the following environment variable:

Variable Name

Description

JFROG_CLI_MIN_CHECKSUM_DEPLOY_SIZE_KB

[Default: 10]

Minimum file size in KB for which JFrog CLI performs checksum deploy optimization.

Read about additional environment variables at the Welcome to JFrog CLI page.

Authentication

When used with Artifactory, JFrog CLI offers several means of authentication: JFrog CLI does not support accessing Artifactory without authentication.

Authenticating with Login Credentials

To authenticate yourself using your Artifactory login credentials, either configure your credentials once using the config command or use the --user and --password command options with each command.

Authenticating with Your API key

To authenticate yourself using your Artifactory API, key either configure your credentials once using the config command or use the --apikey command option with each command.

Authenticating with RSA Keys

From version 4.4, Artifactory supports SSH authentication using RSA public and private keys. To authenticate yourself to Artifactory using RSA keys, execute the following instructions:

Enable SSH authentication as described in Configuring SSH.
Configure your Artifactory URL to have the following format: ssh://[host]:[port] There are two ways to do this:
- For each command, use the --url command option.
- Specify the Artifactory URL in the correct format using the config command.
Don't include your Artifactory context URL
Make sure that the [host] component of the URL only includes the host name or the IP, but not your Artifactory context URL.
Configure the path to your SSH key file. There are two ways to do this:
- For each command, use the --ssh-key-path command option.
- Specify the path using the config command.

Using Self-signed SSL Certificates

From version 1.1, JFrog CLI supports accessing Artifactory over SSL using self-signed certificates as follows:

Under your user home directory, you should find a directory named .jfrog (this directory is created by the JFrog CLI first time it is used).
Under .jfrog, create a directory called security
Place your SSL certificate in your ~/.jfrog/security directory

Note that you can place multiple SSL certificates in your ~/.jfrog/security directory.

Commands

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

Configuration

This command is used to configure JFrog CLI with Artifactory servers, which can later be used in the other commands. The configured Artifactory servers details can be overridden per command by passing in alternative values for the Artifactory URL and login credentials. The values configured are saved in ~/.jfrog/jfrog-cli.conf.

You can set a default Artifactory server by using the jfrog rt use command.

Command name	config
Abbreviation	c
Command options
--url	[Optional] The default Artifactory URL to be used for the other commands.
--user	[Optional] The default user to be used for the other commands.
--password	[Optional] The default password to be used for the other commands. Password Encryption Policy If the Artifactory instance you are trying to access has its Password Encryption Policy set to `Required` then you need to pass in your API key as your password.
--apikey	[Optional] The default API key to be used for all other commands.
--interactive	[Default: true] If true, the `config` command is interactive. This means that passing in the Artifactory URL (using `--url`) is optional. If it is not passed in as a command option, the CLI will interactively ask you for it when you issue the command. If false, you must pass in the Artifactory URL as a command option.
--enc-password	[Default: true] If true, the configured password will be encrypted using Artifactory's encryption API before being stored. If false, the configured password will not be encrypted.
Command arguments	If no arguments are passed in, the command will configure the Artifactory URL, user and password through the command options or through the interactive prompt
server ID	A unique ID for the new Artifactory server configuration.
show	Shows the stored configuration. In case this argument is followed by a configured server ID, then only this server's configurations is shown
delete	This argument should be followed by a configured server ID. The configuration for this server ID will be deleted.
clear	Clears all stored configuration.

Examples

Example 1

Configure the Artifactory URL and credentials using the interactive prompt. The unique ID for the new Artifactory server configuration will be rt-server-1.

$ jfrog rt c rt-server-1

Example 2

--props	[Optional] A list of Artifactory properties specified as "key=value" pairs separated by a semi-colon ( ; ) to be attached to the uploaded files. If any key can take several values, then each value is separated by a comma ( , ). For example, "key1=value1;key2=value21,value22;key3=value3".
--deb	[Optional] Used for Debian packages only. Specifies the distribution/component/architecture of the package. If the the value for distribution, component or architecture include a slash. the slash should be escaped with a back-slash.
--flat	[Default: true] If true, artifacts are uploaded to the exact target path specified and their hierarchy in the source file system is ignored. If false, artifacts are uploaded to the target path while maintaining their file system hierarchy.
--recursive	[Default: true] If true, artifacts are also collected from sub-folders of the source directory for upload . If false, only artifacts specifically in the source directory are uploaded.
--regexp	[Default: false] If true, the command will interpret the first argument, which describes the local file-system path of artifacts to upload, as a regular expression. If false, the command will interpret the first argument, which describes the local file-system path of artifacts to upload, as a wild-card expression.
--threads	[Default: 3] The number of parallel threads that should be used to upload where each thread uploads a single artifact at a time.
--dry-run	[Default: false] If true, the command only indicates which artifacts would have been uploaded If false, the command is fully executed and uploads artifacts as specified

--explode	[Default: false] If true, the command will extract an archive containing multiple artifacts after it is deployed to Artifactory, while maintaining the archive's file structure.
--include-dirs	[Default: false] If true, the source path applies to bottom-chain directories and not only to files. Botton-chain directories are either empty or do not include other directories that match the source path.
--exclude-patterns	A list of Semicolon-separated exclude patterns. Allows using wildcards or a regular expression according to the value of the 'regexp' option.
--sort-by	[Optional] A list of semicolon-separated fields to sort by. The fields must be part of the 'items' AQL domain. For more information read the AQL documentation
--sort-order	[Default: asc] The order by which fields in the 'sort-by' option should be sorted. Accepts 'asc' or 'desc'.

--retries	[Default: 3] Number of upload retries.
Command arguments	The command takes two arguments. In case the --spec option is used, the commands accepts no arguments.
Source path	The first argument specifies the local file system path to artifacts which should be uploaded to Artifactory. You can specify multiple artifacts by using wildcards or a regular expression as designated by the `--regexp` command option. If you have specified that you are using regular expressions, then the first one used in the argument must be enclosed in parenthesis. Working on Windows? When working on Windows, the source path is interpreted by the CLI on your Windows system, so you need to specify the source path in Windows notation using \\ instead of the / character. The target path specified is interpreted by Artifactory which assumes a Unix-like notation, so the target path should be specified using the / character.
Target path	The second argument specifies the target path in Artifactory in the following format: `[repository_name]/[repository_path]` If the target path ends with a slash, the path is assumed to be a folder. For example, if you specify the target as "repo-name/a/b/", then "b" is assumed to be a folder in Artifactory into which files should be uploaded. If there is no terminal slash, the target path is assumed to be a file to which the uploaded file should be renamed. For example, if you specify the target as "repo-name/a/b", the uploaded file is renamed to "b" in Artifactory. For flexibility in specifying the upload path, you can include placeholders in the form of {1}, {2} which are replaced by corresponding tokens in the source path that are enclosed in parenthesis. For more details, please refer to Using Placeholders.

Using Placeholders

The JFrog CLI offers enormous flexibility in how you download, upload, copy, or move files through use of wildcard or regular expressions with placeholders.

Any wildcard enclosed in parenthesis in the source path can be matched with a corresponding placeholder in the target path to determine the name of the artifact once uploaded.

Examples

Example 1

For each .tgz file in the source directory, create a corresponding directory with the same name in the target repository and upload it to there. For example, a file called froggy.tgz should be uploaded to my-local-rep/froggy/froggy.tgz.

$ jfrog rt u "(*).tgz" my-local-repo/{1}/ --recursive=false

Example 2

Upload all files whose name begins with "frog" to folder frogfiles in the target repository, but append its name with the text "-up". For example, a file called froggy.tgz should be renamed froggy.tgz-up.

$ jfrog rt u "(frog*)" my-local-repo/frogfiles/{1}-up --recursive=false

Example 3

Upload all files in the current directory to the my-local-repo repository and place them in directories which match their file extensions.

$ jfrog rt u "(*).(*)" my-local-repo/{2}/{1}.{2} --recursive=false

Example 4

Copy all zip files under /rabbit in the source-frog-repo repository into the same path in the target-frog-repo repository and append the copied files' names with ".cp".

jfrog rt cp "source-frog-repo/rabbit/(*.zip)" target-frog-repo/rabbit/{1}.cp

Build Integration

JFrog CLI integrates with any development ecosystem allowing you to collect build information and then publish it to Artifactory. By publishing build information to Artifactory, JFrog CLI empowers Artifactory to provide visibility into artifacts deployed, dependencies used and exhaustive information on the build environment to allow fully traceable builds.

Many of JFrog CLI's commands accept two optional command options: --build-name and --build-number. When these options are added, JFrog CLI collects and records the build info locally for these commands.
When running multiple commands using the same build and build number, JFrog CLI aggregates the collected build info into one build.
The recorded build-info can be later published to Artifactory using the build-publish command.

Running Maven and Gradle Builds

JFrog CLI includes integration with Maven and Gradle, allowing you to configure these build tools to resolve dependencies and deploy build artifacts from and to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory.

To configure and run your build, take the following actions:

Create the build configuration file.
Run the build with the configuration file as an argument.

Creating the Build Configuration File

To create a build configuration file for a maven build, run the following command. The command's argument is a path to a new file which will be created by the command:

$ jfrog rt mvnc /path/to/a/non/existing/config/file

To create a build configuration file for a gradle build, run the following command. The command's argument is a path to a new file which will be created by the command:

$ jfrog rt gradlec /path/to/a/non/existing/config/file

Running the Build

To run a maven build, run the following command, with the path to the build configuration you created:

$ jfrog rt mvn "clean install -f path/to/pom-file" /path/to/config/file --build-name=mvn-build-name --build-number=1

Deploying Maven Artifacts

Artifacts deployment to Artifactory is triggered by the install phase (and not the deploy phase).

To disable artifacts deployment, add -Dartifactory.publish.artifacts=false to the list of goals and options.

For example: "clean install -Dartifactory.publish.artifacts=false"

To run a gradle build, run the following command, with the path to the build configuration you created:

$ jfrog rt gradle "clean artifactoryPublish -b path/to/build.gradle" /path/to/config/file --build-name=gradle-build-name --build-number=1

Notice that the above commands accept two options: a build name and a build number. When adding a build name and a build number to the build commands, JFrog CLI stores locally the information about the build. You can then publish this build-info to Artifactory. read more about publishing builds builds to Artifactory in the Collecting Build Information section.

Running Builds with MSBuild

JFrog CLI includes integration with MSBuild and Artifactory, allowing you to resolve dependencies and deploy build artifacts from and to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory. This is done by having JFrog CLI in your search path and adding JFrog CLI commands to the MSBuild csproj file.

For detailed instructions, please refer to our MSBuild Project Example on GitHub.

Building Docker Images

JFrog CLI provides full support for publishing docker images to Artifactory using the docker client running on the same machine. This allows you to to collect build-info for your docker build and then publish it to Artifactory.

To build and push your docker images to Artifactory, follow these steps:

Make sure Artifactory can be used as docker registry. Please refer to Getting Started with Docker and Artifactory in the JFrog Artifactory User Guide.
To ensure that the docker client and your Artifactory docker registry are correctly configured to work together, run the following code snippet.
```
docker pull hello-world
docker tag hello-world:latest <artifactoryDockerRegistry>/hello-world:latest
docker login <artifactoryDockerRegistry>
docker push <artifactoryDockerRegistry>/hello-world:latest
```
If everything is configured correctly, pushing any image including the hello-world image should be successfully uploaded to Artifactory.

Pushing Docker Images

After building your image using the docker client, the docker-push command pushes the image layers to Artifactory, while collecting the build-info and storing it locally, so that it can be later published to Artifactory, using the build-publish command.

docker-push

When running the docker-push command, the CLI will first attempt to login to the target docker registry.
In case of a login failure, the docker-push will not be executed.

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Command-name	docker-push
Abbreviation	dp
Command options
--server-id	[Optional] Artifactory server ID configured using the config command. If not specified, the default configured Artifactory server is used.
--build-name	[Optional] Build name. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--build-number	[Optional] Build number. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--threads	[Default: 3] Number of working threads.

Target repository	Target repository in Artifactory.

Examples

jfrog rt docker-push my-docker-registry.io/my-docker-image:latest docker-local --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=7

You can then publish the build-info collected by the docker-push command to Artifactory using the build-publish command.

Building Npm Packages

JFrog CLI provides full support for building npm packages using the npm client. This allows you to resolve npm dependencies, and publish your npm packages from and to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory.

Follow these guidelines when building npm packages:

Working with Artifactory repositories: You can download npm packages from any npm repository type - local, remote or virtual, but you can only publish to a local or virtual Artifactory repository, containing local repositories. To publish to a virtual repository, you first need to set a default local repository. For more details, please refer to Deploying to a Virtual Repository.

Renaming existing prepublish and postpublish scripts in the package.json file: When the npm-publish command runs, JFrog CLI runs the pack command in the background, and not the standard publish command. If your npm package includes the prepublish or postpublish scripts, rename them to prepack and postpack, respectively.

To build an npm package with Artifactory, take the following actions:

Create an npm repository in Artifactory.
Run the Install command to fetch the npm packages.
Publish the npm package to the designated Artifactory repository. JFrog CLI provides additional build commands, please refer to the Build Integration commands section.

Requirements

Npm client version 5.4.0 and above.

Artifactory version 5.5.2 and above.

The nuget command runs the nuget client.

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Command-name	nuget
Abbreviation
Command options
--nuget-args	[Optional] A list of NuGet arguments and options in the form of "arg1 value1 arg2 value2"
--solution-root	[Optional] Path to the solution.
--server-id	[Optional] Artifactory server ID configured using the config command. If not specified, the default configured Artifactory server is used.
--build-name	[Optional] Build name. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--build-number	[Optional] Build number. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
Command argument
Nuget command	The Nuget command to run. For example, restore.
Source repository name	The source NuGet repository. Can be a local, remote or virtual NuGet repository.`

Examples

Example 1

Run nuget restore for the solution at the current directory, while resolving the nuget dependencies from the nuget-virtual Artifactory repository.

jfrog rt nuget restore nuget-virtual

Example 2

Run nuget restore for the solution at the current directory, while resolving the nuget dependencies from the nuget-virtual Artifactory repository.

In addition, record the build-info as part of build my-build-name/1, run the following command. The build-info can later be published to Artifactory using the build-publish command:

jfrog rt nuget restore nuget-virtual --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=1

Collecting Build Information

Build information is collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to different CLI commands. The CLI commands can be run several times and cumulatively collect build information for the specified build name and number until it is published to Artifactory. For example, running the download command several times with the same build name and number will accumulate each downloaded file in the corresponding build information.

Dependencies

Dependencies are collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to the download command .

For example, the following command downloads the cool-froggy.zip file found in repository my-local-repo , but it also specifies this file as a dependency in build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt dl my-local-repo/cool-froggy.zip --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=18

Build Artifacts

Build artifacts are collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to the upload command.

For example, the following command specifies that file froggy.tgz uploaded to repository my-local-repo is a build artifact of build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt u froggy.tgz my-local-repo --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=18

Environment Variables

Environment variables are collected using the build-collect-env (bce) command.

For example, the following command collects all currently known environment variables, and attaches them to the build information for build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt bce my-build-name 18

To view additional commands, please refer to the Build Integration-Collecting Environment Variables section.

Cleanup

Build information is accumulated by the CLI according to the commands you apply until you publish the build information to Artifactory. If, for any reason, you wish to "reset" the build information and cleanup (i.e. delete) any information accumulated so far, you can use the build-clean (bc) command. For example, the following command cleans up any build information collected for build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt bc my-build-name 18

Publishing Build Information

To publish the accumulated build information for a build to Artifactory, use the build-publish (bp) command. For example, the following command publishes all the build information collected for build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt bp my-build-name 18

Using File Specs

To achieve complex file manipulations you may require several CLI commands. For example, you may need to upload several different sets of files to different repositories. To simplify the implementation of these complex manipulations, you can apply JFrog CLI download, upload, move, copy and delete commands with JFrog Artifactory using --spec option to replace the inline command arguments and options. Each command uses an array of file specifications in JSON format with a corresponding schema as described in the sections below. Note that if any of these commands are issued using both inline options as well as the file specs, then the inline options override their counterparts specified in the file specs.

File Spec Schemas

Download, Copy and Move Commands Spec Schema

The file spec schema for the download, copy and move commands is as follows:

{
	"files": [
   		{
	    	"pattern" or "aql": "[Mandatory]",
    	  	"target": "[Optional]",
      		"props": "[Optional]",
     	 	"recursive": "[Optional, Default: 'true']",
      		"flat" : "[Optional, Default: 'false']",
			"excludePatterns": ["[Optional, Applicable only when 'pattern' is specified]"],
      		"archiveEntries": "[Optional]",
      		"build": "[Optional]",
			"sortBy" : ["[Optional]"],
			"sortOrder": "[Optional, Default: 'asc']",
			"limit": [Optional],
			"offset": [Optional]
    	}
  	]
}

Upload Command Spec Schema

The file spec schema for the upload command is as follows:

{
	"files": [
   		{
      		"pattern": "[Mandatory]",
   			"target": "[Mandatory]",
      		"props": "[Optional]",
      		"recursive": "[Optional, Default: 'true']",
      		"flat" : "[Optional, Default: 'true']",
      		"regexp": "[Optional, Default: 'false']",
			"excludePatterns": ["[Optional]"],
      		"build": "[Optional]",
			"sortBy" : ["[Optional]"],
			"sortOrder": "[Optional, Default: 'asc']",
			"limit": [Optional],
			"offset": [Optional]
    	}
  	]
}

Search, Set-Props and Delete Commands Spec Schema

The file spec schema for the search and delete commands are as follows:

{
	"files": [
   		{
      		"pattern" or "aql": "[Mandatory]",
      		"props": "[Optional]",
      		"recursive": "[Optional, Default: 'true']",
			"excludePatterns": ["[Optional, Applicable only when 'pattern' is specified]"],
      		"archiveEntries": "[Optional]",
      		"build": "[Optional]",
			"sortBy" : ["[Optional]"],
			"sortOrder": "[Optional, Default: 'asc']",
			"limit": [Optional],
			"offset": [Optional]
    	}
  	]
}

Examples

The following examples can help you get started using File Specs.

Running on Windows?

To use the following examples on Windows, replace all forward slashes with two back-slashes.

Example 1: Download all files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository to the froggy/all-my-frogs directory.

{
	"files": [
   		{
      		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
			"target": "froggy/"
    	}
  	]
}

Example 2: Download all files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository to the froggy/all-my-frogs directory. Download only files which are artifacts of build number 5 of build my-build.

{
	"files": [
   		{
      		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
			"target": "froggy/",
			"build": "my-build/5"
    	}
  	]
}

Example 3: Download all files retrieved by the AQL query to the froggy directory.

{
  "files": [
    {
      "aql": {
        "items.find": {
          "repo": "my-local-repo",
          "$or": [
            {
              "$and": [
                {
                  "path": {
                    "$match": "."
                  },
                  "name": {
                    "$match": "a1.in"
                  }
                }
              ]
            },
            {
              "$and": [
                {
                  "path": {
                    "$match": "*"
                  },
                  "name": {
                    "$match": "a1.in"
                  }
                }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      "target": "cli-reg-test/spec-copy-test/aql-a1/"
    }
  ]
}

Example 4: Upload

All zip files located under the resources directory to the zip folder, under the all-my-frogs repository.
AND
All TGZ files located under the resources directory to the tgz folder, under the all-my-frogs repository.
Tag all zip files with type = zip and status = ready.
Tag all tgz files with type = tgz and status = ready.

{
  "files": [
    {
      "pattern": "resources/*.zip",
      "target": "my-repo/zip/",
      "props": "type=zip;status=ready"
    },
    {
      "pattern": "resources/*.tgz",
      "target": "my-repo/tgz/",
	  "props": "type=tgz;status=ready"
    }
  ]
}

Example 5: Download all files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository except for files with .txt extension and all files inside the all-my-frogs directory with the props. prefix.

Notice that the exclude patterns do not include the repository.

{
	"files": [
	 {
		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
		"excludePatterns": ["*.txt","all-my-frog/props.*"]
     }
	]
}

Example 6: Download The latest file uploaded to the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository.

{
	"files": [
	 {
		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
		"target": "my-repo/files/",
        "sortBy": "created",
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 1,
     }
	]
}

Example 7: Search for the three largest files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository. If there are files with the same size, sort them "internally" by creation date.

{
	"files": [
	 {
		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
        "sortBy": ["size","created"],
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 3
     }
	]
}

Example 8: Download The second latest file uploaded to the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository.

{
	"files": [
	 {
		"pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
		"target": "my-repo/files/",
        "sortBy": "created",
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 1,
		"offset": 1
     }
	]
}

Storing Symlinks in Artifactory

JFrog CLI lets you upload and download artifacts from your local file-system to Artifactory, this also includes uploading symlinks (soft links).

Symlinks are stored in Artifactory as files with a zero size, with the following properties:
symlink.dest - The actual path on the original filesystem to which the symlink points
symlink.destsha1 - the SHA1 checksum of the value in the symlink.dest property

To upload symlinks, the upload command should be executed with the --symlinks option set to true.
To download symlinks stored in Artifactory, the download command should be executed with the --symlinks option set to true.

In addition, when downloading symlinks stored in Artifactory, the CLI can verify that the file to which the symlink points actually exists and that it has the correct SHA1 checksum. To add this validation, you should use the --validate-symlinks option with the download command.
