Seeking Alternatives to Artifactory

Hey everyone, I've been grappling with Artifactory lately, and I'm
finding it seriously lacking in user-friendliness. Random errors keep
popping up, and I'm curious if anyone else has encountered similar
issues and possibly discovered a more efficient package management
system? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try out Pulp (https://pulpproject.org/pulp-in-one-container/). It is
doing the same good as Artifactory, Nexus, or GitHub Packages, but for
free since it is OSS. The only problem is that it does not have UI.
However, there is a nice CLI utility available.

Nexus

The last time I attempted to use Nexus, the user interface wasn't
impressive, and it couldn't establish a connection with an external
database. I'm unsure if this issue has been resolved, but it
definitely wasn't a positive experience.

Thank you for sharing this project. I wasn't aware of it. Do you
happen to know if the absence of a user interface is intentional, or
is there a plan to add one in the future?

I'd used both in large professional settings. I found Nexus interface
more intuitive and was easier for certs/LDAP.

gitea now supports multiple different package registries.

What does that mean?

Pulp is primarily a back-end solution that administrators interface
with from scripts or other tools. Having the UI was not the main focus
of the project. However, you can still contribute and design some UI,
wink, wink.
