How can I temporarily enable script creation?

[zadigus]

On the usual nexus installations, we can enable script creation by setting

nexus.scripts.allowCreation=true

in the file nexus.properties and then reboot the server.

I was not able to do the same on the Jelastic installation. How can I achieve that?

One way of doing it would be to change a bit the environment architecture:

• put an nginx load-balancer in front of the nexus server
• make sure no request can be made to the cp nodes from the outside world
• make sure only the nginx load-balancer can send requests to the cp nodes
• allow scripts creation in the nexus settings
• write an nginx rule to disable the nexus script endpoint

Then, the scripts are kind of "disabled". In order to temporarily enable them, we could just have a manifest that disables the nginx rule.

However, I would be surprised that there is no more direct solution by changing some properties of the nexus server directly.
