JFrox Xray installation on Windows server

I Have JFrog Artifactory installed and up and running on Windows 2012 R2, now i want to install JFrog-Xray on the same server and linking with existing Artifactory instance, is it possible ?

As per JFrog documentation, XRay installer available only for for Docker runtime and Linux.

Solution

  • As described in the official JFrog Xray Installation docs, Xray cannot be installed on Windows directly.

    There are two options here

    • Setup a Linux VM running in the same server and install Xray on it
    • Setup a separate, Linux based server and install Xray on it

    You can also install both Artifactory and Xray together in the same Linux server or a Kubernetes (Linux) installation.

    I know this answer does not provide a clean Xray on Windows solution, but does provide a viable option that is production grade.
