According to https://www.sonatype.com/nexus-repository-comparison, support for Docker artifacts is only available in the Artifactory Pro Edition, while it is available in the Nexus Repository OSS - together with a few other component formats (NPM, GEM, Python, etc).

Notice that the limited number of types supported by Artifactory OSS edition is confirmed by https://github.com/gmacario/easy-jenkins/issues/211
