Artifactory's generation 5.x release introduced significant enhancements, including cloud-native storage, cluster license management, and improved authentication with access tokens. A major revamp of the Docker distribution simplifies running Artifactory in a container by using an official OpenJDK base image with updated security features and an exploded zip archive for easy setup. The new Docker distribution supports persistent storage with a single mount volume and separates Nginx into its own container, promoting best practices with one container per process. A unified Artifactory Pro image now supports all deployment scenarios, with configuration managed through environment variables at the container entry-point. Integration of Docker image sources with Artifactory's OSS and Pro code ensures consistent, routine testing within the CI cycle, enhancing reliability and deployment efficiency.
