Hi,

Using Proget 2026 with Postgres and Kestrel.

The HTTPS Support docs say that binding the integrated web server to a port below 1024 requires a URL reservation
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/installation/windows/web/https-support#https-binding-to-a-port-recommended

Example:
netsh http add urlacl url=https://*:443/ user="NETWORK SERVICE"

My understanding is that URL reservations (urlacl) only apply to HTTP.sys listeners (HttpListener/IIS).

Since the integrated web server now runs on Kestrel and not IIS, the reservation isn't needed.
Is that correct, and is the urlacl step a leftover from the earlier HttpListener/IIS-based server?

@atripp thanks

Hey,
Does Proget 2025.0.28 support latest SQL express 2025? I don't see exact supported version on the Inedo site.

Thanks

When you delist and deprecated a package, I can see via the website UI two icons to indicate this along with a message to say these two properties have been set.

When I now use Find-Package or list packages via the API, the package I delisted and deprecated still returns in the results?

Shouldn't the package be unavailable?

Thanks

Hi,

In other repository management systems there is the ability to create custom tags and assign these to packages on the repository, I think this is something that would be very useful since it allows you to mark a particular package with some custom tag, without having to repackage the package and republish to the feed.

Just to clarify, when I say tag, I mean tagging the package metadata on the ProGet feed, similar to what you already have in place for marking packages as unlisted and deprecated.

Just wanted to check if this was something that may be a feature in future

Thanks

Is there a way to add custom tags to nuget packages on the feed?
I only see features such as package promotion and re packaging, but nothing that would let you add a custom tag to a package.

I know I can add a tag to a powershell module psd1 and then upload, but I am looking for a way to do this on the fly in ProGet

Thanks

@atripp Hi, I do plan on migrating over to Kestrel and Postgres but for the moment was looking to optimise IIS.
I could not find anything in the ProGet documentation to suggest you should not increase the limit higher than 5000, is your recommendation to not increase this number based off bad experiences with other customers ? Or are you just saying that the preferred approach is to use Kestrel?

Thanks

Hi,

Does ProGet have a recommended limit on the max number of connections for appConcurrentRequestLimit setting in IIS?

It's 5000 by default but does increasing this to 10000 sound reasonable if the server has enough resources ?

Wasn't sure if ProGet had any hard limits within its own service etc so thought I'd ask

Thanks

Is it possible to retrieve previous versions of an item in the asset directory using the API?

I see the metadata endpoint I can query but that does not contain the previous versions.

Thanks

Does the integrated web server use Kestrel under the hood?

Assume it has feature parity with IIS so that you can have Https certificate bindings etc?

Are there any gotchas to using the integrated web server ?

Thanks

Hi,

I had a design question.

If you expect some of your feeds to be very busy, would it be better to have a separate application pool in IIS for each of the feeds in ProGet?
So one website but multiple web applications pointing to different app pools.
This way you would segregate the process etc.. so one would not affect the other.

Is this a supported configuration or do you have customers that do this?

Thanks

We have noticed the following issue when using ProGet with SQL Express.
The ProGet server will reboot.
The ProGet App Pool comes up before the ProGet SQL instance is fully loaded.
Is there a way to make the web application dependant on the SQL DB?
There isnt two different windows services to make one dependant on the other so thats a no go.
Would like to try and use some native ProGet functionality to solve this if possible.

Whats the best way to determine that ProGet is fully started and ready after a server reboot?

The only event information I can see that is relevant is:
Log: Application
Source:IIS ASP.NET Core Module V2
<Data>Application 'C:\ProGet\Service' started successfully.</Data>

But this comes from ASP.NET source

Does ProGet have its own event?

I ask because I am trying to setup a scheduled task to run which is triggered by an event, the event I would like to trigger on is only when ProGet has fully started and is ready to serve up modules etc... I notice that sometimes after a reboot, ProGet can take several minutes to become available.

thanks

So since Proget runs under the NetworkService account, I assume that if Proget uses 'Use Windows proxy settings' then it should be able to authenticate via the proxy as this account using Kerberos?

As I understand, the NetworkService account presents the computers credentials to remote servers.

Also, can the proxy settings be configured programmatically?

thanks

@atripp the health endpoint looks good, thanks

Hi,

Is there a way to check if ProGets license key has been activated programatically?
At the moment, if ProGet is not activated, the only way I know via code, is the API simply wont work and will timeout.
I was not sure if there was a registry key or some file I could inspect to find out.

@atripp thanks, resolved now.

Hi,

Is ProGet able to use the windows proxy for authentication?
Basically, is it able auto discover the proxy being used by the Windows OS?

I do see there is a setting 'Use Windows Proxy Settings'

thanks
