Artifactory

Artifactory is a cool open-source tool that works on multiple platforms, and guess what? It's totally free! This enterprise-grade binary repository helps you manage all your software binaries in one place. It’s designed for teams of developers, and you can set it up on each server. You have three options to choose from: Open-Source, Artifactory Pro, and Artifactory Online - Cloud (SaaS). How great is that?

Centrally Controlled Snapshots

This program also comes packed with features like a centrally-controlled snapshot policy and unique snapshot storage control. Plus, it has nestable virtual repositories that let you block bad artifacts and checksums. You can manage access using role-based controls, integrate LDAP, deploy meshes, and import multiple formats locally.

Additions That Matter

You’ll also enjoy fully transactional storage with unlimited open metadata! It supports Maven 1 & 2 proxying, strong concurrency, network proxies, controlled lookups, offline mode, powerful user/group support, local administrators — the list goes on! Oh yeah, it even lets you view effective permissions per artifact along with secured settings.xml passwords.

User-Friendly Interface

The best part? It’s web-based! So all you need is a supported web browser to get started. If you're running GNU/Linux, you can install it natively for RPM-based distributions or use a universal sources package.

A Peek Under the Hood

If you're curious about how it works under the hood: it's built entirely in Java! That means it runs smoothly on any system where Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is supported—like GNU/Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. And guess what? Both 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs are supported too!
