ProGet - proxy to RAW Repository

[michal.roszak_0767]

Hi,

How to create proxy to RAW repository?
Eg. https://mirrors.jenkins.io/plugins/

Hi @michal-roszak_0767,

By RAW repository, I think you mean like a website / web-based file system?

In any case, that's not something ProGet is designed to do -- I guess that'd be more like a "generic HTTP proxy server" type of tool?

Cheers,
Alana

This is typical task for closed environments (no internet access). Works similar to any other type of repository.
All main providers (Sonatype, JFrog) have such functionality.

Hi @michal-roszak_0767 ,

Thanks for clarifying; I thought you were looking to "proxy" a website like that...

ProGet has Asset Directories, which basically acts like a web-based file system.

Thanks,

@atripp

Yes. Something like that :)

My question is: Can Asset repository act like proxy to external RAW repository?
I don't see how to setup connector there.

Hi @michal-roszak_0767 ,

Ah, that's what I thought you were asking in the first place :)

No, that's not a supported use case, I understand it's a design decision

Thanks,

Can I make Feature Request regarding this topic?

@michal-roszak_0767 it wouldn't hurt to start a new topic about it, but it's design decision so you'd have to make a good use case for it :)

I can't find the discussion (maybe it was internal), but the idea is that "generic website connectors" for Asset Directories are a poor solution for "offline" environments. A "generic proxy" like ngnix will always be better in every way.
