A Remote Repositories defined in Artifactory serves as a caching proxy for a supermarket managed at a remote URL such as https://supermarket.chef.io.
Artifacts (such as tgz files) requested from a remote repository are cached on demand. You can remove downloaded artifacts from the remote repository cache, however, you can not manually deploy artifacts to a remote Chef repository.
To define a remote repository to proxy a remote Chef Cookbook, follow the steps below:
In the Administration module, under Repositories | Repositories | Remote, click New Remote Repository.
Select Chef from the Select Package Type dialog.
In the New Repository dialog, set the Repository Key value, and specify the URL to the remote repository in the URL field as displayed below.
Click Save & Finish.
