Multiple Proget instances and SQL DB

[forbzie22_0253]

Hi, I plan to use Proget on for example 6 different servers, does each instance require its own DB?
Or can you install the first instance which creates the dB, then install the second instance and point to the same dB?

This would be for the free edition and not using any connectors, the repository name would be the same on each instance

Thanks

Hi @forbzie22_0253,

Since these will be free editions of ProGet, each instance will need to have its own database. The only way to share a database would be to purchase an Enterprise edition license and configure ProGet to use High Availability.

Thanks,
Rich

@rhessinger thanks for confirming

@rhessinger thanks for clarification.
So that's fine as I can spin up a separate DB for each Proget install.

As long as you don't use connectors or any enterprise features, are you permitted to use the free version for business use? Is there a limit to how many free instances you can install ?

Thanks

Hi @forbzie22_0253 ,

ProGet Free edition may be used in commercial use. There is no limit on the number of instances, but a ProGet Free instance may not connect/network to another ProGet instance -- they need to be stand-alone instances.

ProGet Free instances can be connected to NuGet.org, just not other instances of ProGet.

Best,
Alana

@atripp ok that makes sense, thanks for confirming.
