Hi there!
I have an RPM repository running on JFrog Artifactory. It’s being used by CentOS and RHEL hosts, and I would also like to use it with my openSUSE hosts as well.
This documentation from JFrog does not explicitly say that only yum clients are supported, and since they used the term “RPM repository”, to me it suggests that the repository should also work with zypper clients.
This is an opensuse document about repomd/rpm md/YUM sources, and a visual inspection of a repository on an openSUSE host created using the createrepo command looks consistent to the JFrog RPM repository layout.

So at this point, I assume that pointing zypper to the RPM repository “should work” just fine.
However, when trying to point to the repository, there’s an error Repository type can’t be determined (#2 below). Here are all the steps to add the repository:
- Add the repository using addrepo:
opensuse:~ # zypper addrepo https://myuser:mypassword@rpm.example.com/myapp-release-rpm/stable/myapp/2019/3/ myapp
Adding repository 'myapp' ..................................................................................................................................................[done]

GPG Check : Yes
Autorefresh : No

Repository priorities are without effect. All enabled repositories share the same priority.
opensuse:~ # zypper repos

- Try to refresh the repo:
opensuse:~ # zypper refresh myapp

Skipping repository 'myapp' because of the above error.
Could not refresh the repositories because of errors.
opensuse:~ #
- This is what the repo file looks like:
opensuse:~ # cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/myapp.repo
[myapp]

autorefresh=0

Manually downloading the repomd.xml file works fine.
opensuse:~ # curl -o repomd.xml --user myuser \
> https://rpm.myapp.com/myapp-release-rpm/stable/myapp/2019/3/repodata/repomd.xml

I tried to look at /var/log/zypper.log, but it’s a little cluttered and I am not sure which ones are relevant.
Any idea what else to check would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
