Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Nexus is running within a vm in docker which adds complexity to it's configuration and update processes

Describe the solution you'd like
Replace the nexus VM with a container app

Describe alternatives you've considered
Improving the configurability of the vm

Additional context
The current configuration uses multiple ports which may need reconfiguring. this is due to the docker config.
docker run -d -p 80:8081 -p 443:8443 -p 8083:8083 -v /etc/nexus-data:/nexus-data
Multiple ports were needed for the docker registry but looks like 3.83.0 onwards supports path based so single ports are now an option. https://help.sonatype.com/en/docker-registry.html

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Nexus VM Docker configuration, especially the published ports and /etc/nexus-data volume, then compare the container app and web app options. Confirm how the Docker registry's path-based routing works in Nexus 3.83.0 or later. Done means Nexus runs without the VM, preserves its data, and exposes the registry through the required port configuration.
