ProGet: Install extensions from administration page

dlundqvist

Hi,

From my understanding it should be possible to install extensions from the Administration > Extensions page. I don't see any option to add new extension there, only to update existing ones. Is there a setting that must be enabled? If it matters this trial installation is running inside a Docker container on Debian stable.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi @daniel-lundqvist_1790 ,

Custom extensions in ProGet are not very common, but they need to be manually installed; are you trying to build your own extension? We generally don't advise that for ProGet, since whatever you build would likely be a general-purpose integration that we would work with you to "adopt" (like cloud file system, etc)

We have some guidance on how to manually install extensions here:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/administration/extensions#manual-installation

Thanks,

Hi,

No, no custom extensions. Just some from https://proget.inedo.com/feeds/Extensions, such as Jenkins and Sonatype. It's not clear to me yet how they fit into ProGet or how they can be used.

From https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/administration/extensions:
You can see which extensions are loaded, as well as install new or update extensions from the Admin > Extensions Page from your instance of ProGet.

I could ever only install updates to already installed extension, not install new.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi @daniel-lundqvist_1790 ,

Good question! ProGet 2024 ships with the latest version of all available extensions, so there's usually not going to be a new one unless we add ones later (e.g. GCP) or update/fix ones.

Most extensions are used by BuildMaster; for example, the Jenkins extension lets you do cool stuff like import/orchestrate Jenkins servers and deploy artifacts from them:
