Link to Artifactory Edge

You can configure JFrog Connect to pull content from an instance of Artifactory Edge. This page describes how to do that.

Your supply chain to edge devices might include one or more instances of Artifactory Edge. JFrog Connect makes it easy for you to pull software updates from Artifactory Edge and deliver them to your edge devices.

When you configure an action block for an update flow, you have to specify the JFrog Platform account from which to take the binary content. You can have multiple JFrog Platform accounts configured, including Artifactory Edge accounts. As part of an action block configuration, you specify which Artifactory account to use for the update flow. This applies to the following action blocks available for an update flow:

• Deploy Container

• Download Artifacts

• Download Release Bundle

• Update Image

The Download Artifacts action block is used as an example in the procedures below, but the same procedures apply to all of the action blocks listed above.

Drag the Action Block

To include the Download Artifacts action block in your update flow, do the following:

1. Go to Deployment in the left menu and click Create Update Flow.

2. Drag the Download Artifacts action block and drop it in the workflow.

Add Artifactory Edge as Platform Account

Click the action block to open and configure it.

1. Enter a name for the action block.

2. By JFrog Platform, click Add (+).

1. In the New Account popup, enter the following account information for accessing Artifactory Edge, and create the account.

   • Display Name: Any name you would like for later reference to this instance of Artifactory Edge. This name will appear in the dropdown list of JFrog Platforms.

   • Platform URL: The URL of the relevant instance of Artifactory Edge.

   • Username: The username for login to the relevant instance of Artifactory Edge.

   • Access Token: The access token to be used to access the relevant instance of Artifactory Edge.

1. Complete the rest of the action block configuration, and save it.

The next time you access one of the action blocks that require you to specify a JFrog Platform, the Artifactory Edge account that you added will appear in the dropdown list of JFrog Platforms. Choose the relevant account from the list and complete your action block configuration.
