ProGet crash on startup

[alex_6102]

I am trying to run ProGet on a Linux 6.5.13 x86_64 VM and receive the following crash on startup:

Unhandled exception. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at Inedo.ProGet.Service.Program.<Main>(String[] args)

I use the following starting arguments:

/usr/local/proget/service/ProGet.Service run --mode=both

Tested with the last 2 major versions of ProGet (24.0.37, 24.0.x, and 23.x).

I am using the filesystem provided by the official OCI image as the root filesystem of the Linux VM, i.e.:

proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/proget:24.0.37

This makes the base OS Debian-based (at least from an initial inspection of the OCI image).

Any insight from the ProGet dev team would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi @alex_6102 ,

It sounds like you're trying to do a kind of "manual" or "custom" installation on Linux? That's the impression I got when you mentioned, "using the file system provided..."

We don't support this kind of installation,; you should really just run the Docker image like this:

docker run -d --name=proget --restart=unless-stopped \
  -v proget-packages:/var/proget/packages -p 80:80 --net=inedo \
  -e PROGET_SQL_CONNECTION_STRING='Data Source=inedo-sql; Initial Catalog=ProGet; User ID=sa; Password=«YourStrong!Passw0rd»' \
  proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/proget:latest

As for the error... it seems that ProGet is failing to read the configuration file, which isn't used on a Linux installation. Instead, environment variables are used, since that's the Docker way.

Your response gave me a hint -- i was just missing the relevant environmental variables from the OCI image. This is now resolved, thanks!
