Overview

Resource limit problem.

Explanation

The nexus pod would attempt to start and then would be immediately be terminated during the CI/CD Pipeline setup procedure. No useful error messages.

Got it to start by editing the deployment configuration and requesting less memory.

oc edit dc/nexus

spec:
  template:
    metadata:
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: ...
        name: nexus
        resource:
          limits:
            cpu:
            memory: 1636Mi

Editing the deployment configuration triggered a successful redeployment.
