version: "2"

services:

    restart: always
    image: sonatype/nexus3
    container_name: nexus3
    volumes:
      - "./nexus-data:/nexus-data"
    ports:
      - "8081:8081"

docker-compose up -d

Grant permission to nexus-data directory

Docker deployment will fall by default, all you have to do is fix the directory’s permission

chown -R 200 nexus-data
