Configure opkg to Work with Artifactory

In order for your opkg client to work with Artifactory, you need to add Artifactory Opkg feeds and credentials to your opkg.conf file.

To configure the opkg client to work with Artifactory:

Run the following command to add an Artifactory feed to your client:

echo 'src <FEED_NAME> /artifactory/<REPO_NAME>/<PATH_TO_FEED>' >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf

Tip

To install the .gz variant of the Package index file, replace src with src/gz.

Where:

<FEED_NAME>: The name of the feed
: The base URL of your JPD
<REPO_NAME>: The name of the target repository in Artifactory
<PATH_TO_FEED>: The path to the index file in the target repository

For example:

# Default connection using hostname and port
src artifactory-feed http://prod.mycompany:8080/artifactory/opkg-virtual/my-distro/1.0/i386 >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
# Secure connection using a standard HTTPS URL
src/gz artifactory-feed /artifactory/opkg-virtual/my-distro/1.0/armv7a >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf

To access Artifactory feeds that require authentication, run this command to add credentials to your client:
```
echo 'option http_auth <USERNAME>:<AUTH_TOKEN>' >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
```
Where:
- <USERNAME>: Your Artifactory username
- <AUTH_TOKEN>: Your Artifactory identity token
For example:
```
echo 'option https_auth jeffry:akcp_aL9k4jPq7bE2C8QmZcV8nF3mG5hJ1yX9mI8oPzAsDtFgHjKlM' >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
```
Tip
You can also use an encrypted plaintext password as described in Centrally Secure Passwords.Centrally Secure Passwords
