We're running nexus on some old hardware which is limited in disk space and would like to remove artifacts older than a certain threshold.
Is there any way to do this other than a combination of find and curl?

auto purge older than 30 days(u can change it) not download docker images from nexus 3

# nexus3's username and pwd
username = 'admin'
password = 'admin123'
# nexus host
nexusHost = 'http://localhost:8081'
# purge repo
repoName = 'docker'
# older than days
days = 30
#change and run it
For Nexus2, you can use my Spring Boot application https://github.com/vernetto/nexusclean , you can define rules based on date and on a minimum number of Artifacts to retain, and it generates "rm -rf" commands (using the REST API is damn slow).
For Nexus3, I would definitely use a Groovy script as a "Execute Admin Task". One is posted here groovy script to delete artifacts on nexus 3 (not nexus 2)
