All servers are Ubuntu 22.04 and I am using the OSS artifactory apt repo from jfrog.
I have a VM with artifactory installed on it. For various reasons I need to replace that VM with a new one.
I installed artifactory on the new VM. I was encountering a problem, can't remember what it was. So I purged artifactory and installed it again. Now it does not go through initial setup (changing the admin password, etc). The libs-release and libs-snapshot repos are not present.
How do I get it to go through the initial setup again, where I change the password and tell it to use Maven?
I finally got it to do the initial setup. Instead of going through my haproxy install using the canonical URL that I have planned for it, I browsed directly to hostname:8081 and then it all worked. Which is odd because I did get the initial setup to work the first time even through the proxy.
Then even that didn't work for another reinstall.
Ultimately I did get it to work. What's critical is accessing the current install, clearing the browser cache, and clearing all browsing data for the last hour (which is an option in Chrome but not Firefox). Incognito mode (Chrome) or Private Browsing (Firefox) would probably also work.
