How To Download Nuget Package From Artifactory
Elisabet Schwartzkopf
I have installed JFROG Artifactory OSS version(7.35.2) and when I'm trying to create Local/Remote/Virtual Repositories for NuGet, but I can't able to choose NuGet from package source type. FYR attached screenshot.
The feed 'my-nuget-local [ -nuget-url/artifactory/api/nuget/my-nuget-local]' lists package 'xyz.1.0.0-build.86' but multiple attempts to download the nupkg have failed. The feed is either invalid or required packages were removed while the current operation was in progress. Verify the package exists on the feed and try again.Unable to find package 'xyz.1.0.0-build.86'.
In the artifactory.log, it does not show any error message. In the request.log, I see error 404:2019092517335445REQUEST10.145.82.224anonymousGET/api/nuget/my-nuget-local/Download/xyz/1.0.0-build.86HTTP/1.04040
The strange thing is if I download the nuget package, i.e. xyz.1.0.0-build.86.nupkg through the Artifactory web gui; delete the package from the repo; and then re-upload the package via the gui to the repo; it fixes the error, i.e. Visual Studio is able to restore the nuget package that it complains about before.
So I'm POCing chocolatey for my server infrastructure (with ansible). Right now I have proget free hosting my packages and it seems nice that it has some form native integration with the chocolatey community repo so that I can promote /download packages directly from there (yes I know I should internalize but this is POC). I like proget and it seems to do what I need in relation to chocolatey, I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on other useful features.
3. Next we prep the hosted agent, adding the destination package. In the code below, using dotnet nuget add source, we use the github account and password (using the built in GITHUB_TOKEN), to setup the package registry for my account.
Two core resource types make up CodeArtifact: domains and repositories. Domains provide an easy way manage multiple repositories within an organization. Repositories store packages and their assets. You can connect repositories to other CodeArtifact repositories, or popular public package repositories such as nuget.org, using upstream and external connections. For more information about these concepts, see AWS CodeArtifact Concepts.
We use the CodeArtifact credential provider to connect the Visual Studio IDE to a CodeArtifact repository. You need to download and install the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio to configure the credential provider. The toolkit is an extension for Microsoft Visual Studio on Microsoft Windows that makes it easy to develop, debug, and deploy .NET applications to AWS. The credential provider automates fetching and refreshing the authentication token required to pull packages from CodeArtifact. For more information about the authentication process, see AWS CodeArtifact authentication and tokens.
We have shown you how to set up CodeArtifact in minutes and easily integrate it with NuGet. You can build and push your package faster, from hours or days to minutes. You can also integrate CodeArtifact directly in your Visual Studio environment with four simple steps. With CodeArtifact repositories, you inherit the durability and security posture from the underlying storage of CodeArtifact for your packages.
The project websites at www.nuget.org and host tool downloads and detailed documentation as well as links to further resources and provide a repository and features to upload your open source NuGet packages. With the NuGet Gallery a repository of open source libraries and tools is available and the need for repository management arises.
The NuGet Visual Studio extension allows you to download the package from the repository and install it in your Visual Studio project or solution. NuGet copies everything and makes any required changes to your project setup and configuration files. Removing a package will clean up any changes as required.
The NuGet feed is immediately updated as packages are deployed or deleted from the host repository. To rebuild the feed for a hosted NuGet repository you can manually schedule a Rebuild NuGet Feed task.
The NuGet feed is immediately updated as packages are deployed or deleted from the shadowed repository. To rebuild the feed for a virtual NuGet repository, you can manually schedule a Synchronize Shadow Repository task.
Once you have set up your hosted and proxy repositories for NuGet packages, and potentially created a repository group, you can access them with the nuget tool on the command line. Copy the Package Source URL from the NuGet tab of the repository/group configuration you want to access and add it to nuget on the command line with e.g.:
Access to the packages is not restricted by default. If access restrictions are desired, you can configure security directly or via LDAP/Active Directory external role mappings combined with repository targets for fine grained control. Authentication from NuGet is then handled via NuGet API keys as documented in Deploying Packages to NuGet Hosted Repositories.
Alternatively to manual uploads, the nuget command line tool allows you to deploy packages to a repository with the push command. The command requires you to use the API Key and the Package Source path. Both of them are available in the NuGet tab of the hosted NuGet repository to where you want to deploy. Using the delete command of nuget allows you to remove packages in a similar fashion. Further information about the command line tool is available in the on-line help.
Chocolatey has had the ability to be able to work with packages from one or more sources since its inception back in 2011. With that, Chocolatey comes with a default package repository configured - the community package repository. However due to the community repository being publicly available and subject to distribution rights, it has a failure point in that it can not be 100% reliable (most packages can't contain software and must download at runtime). It's not something an organization hosting their own package repository would be subject to, so we recommend organizational use of Chocolatey should include an internal package repository. Organizations looking to use Chocolatey should review the following topics to learn more:
When Renovate creates Pull Requests, its default behavior is to locate and embed release notes/changelogs of packages.These release notes are fetched from the source repository of packages and not from the registries themselves, so if they are private then they will require different credentials.
For GitHub Packages, Renovate will automatically provision hostRules for both ghcr.io (containers) and *.pkg.github.com (maven, npm, nuget, rubygems) using the GitHub platform token.This means that any private packages hosted on GitHub will be automatically authenticated if they are accessible using the same token by Renovate.
You can use CLI tools like nuget and dotnet to publish and consume packages from CodeArtifact. This document provides information about configuring the CLI tools and using them to publish or consume packages.
To use the credential provider, ensure that any existing AWS CodeArtifact credentials are cleared from your nuget.config file that may have been added manually or by running aws codeartifact login to configure NuGet previously.
After you create a repository and configure the credential provider you can use the nuget or dotnet CLI tools to install and publish packages. For more information, see Consume NuGet packages from CodeArtifact and Publish NuGet packages to CodeArtifact.
After you create a repository and configure authentication you can use the nuget, dotnet, or msbuild CLI clients to install and publish packages. For more information, see Consume NuGet packages from CodeArtifact and Publish NuGet packages to CodeArtifact.
To consume a package version from a CodeArtifact repository or one of its upstream repositories with nuget or dotnet, run the following command replacing packageName with the name of the package you want to consume and packageSourceName with the source name for your CodeArtifact repository in your NuGet configuration file. If you used the login command to configure your NuGet configuration, the source name is domain_name/repo_name.
When a package is requested, the NuGet client caches which versions of that package exists. Because of this behavior, an install may fail for a package that was previously requested before the desired version became available. To avoid this failure and successfully install a package that exists, you can either clear the NuGet cache ahead of an install with nuget locals all --clear or dotnet nuget locals all --clear, or avoid using the cache during install and restore commands by providing the -NoCache option for nuget or the --no-cache option for dotnet.
You can consume NuGet packages from NuGet.org through a CodeArtifact repository by configuring the repository with an external connection to NuGet.org. Packages consumed from NuGet.org are ingested and stored in your CodeArtifact repository. For more information about adding external connections, see Connect a CodeArtifact repository to a public repository.
You can download the packages using the native NuGet/Chocolately/Powershell tools or using your package repository-specific tooling like Export from JFrog Artifactory. Using package repository-specific tooling may mean that you don't need to disable your upstreams.
Before continuing, you must disable your upstreams- otherwise, this powershell script will download all the packages from your upstreams as well as the packages stored directly in your package repository.
