Hi @james-woods_8996 ,

Setting the ASPNETCORE_URLS is the correct way to address this; that troubleshooting guide is outdated (though it probably still works to write out the config file like that).

As far as I understand, this behavior has not changed in ProGet 2025 and has been the default behavior since ProGet 2022. We had considered changing the Linux ports to be 8624/8625 to mirror Windows defaults, but decided to just update the documentation to clarify.

Thanks,
Steve

@jfullmer_7346 this is a bit tricky behind the scenes but hopefully will be resolved with PG-3047 -- which we hope to get in the next or following maintenance release

@p-pelinski_1371 @pbe_9047 thanks for confirming that!

We will get this fixed via PG-3031 in the next maintenance release. You are also welcome to try the proget:25.0.3-ci.3 container image, which is building now.

@mmaharjan_0067 we'll see how we can improve this while we work on PG-3034

@phopkins_6694 perfect, just what I was looking for

I was able to reproduce this - searches via the NuGet API (which connectors use) will consider tags, while local searches seem to only be looking at names.

I'm not sure how long this has been the case, but we'll try to get it fixed soon. Unfortunately it's not a trivial fix, hopefully we'll do it via PG-3046, likely in the July 18 maintenance release.

Thanks,
Steve

@joshuagilman_1054 this is currently planned for 5.3.27 as PG-1934 (April 17) - we'll let you know if plans change!

Hi @brett-polivka,

I've added it to our Other Feed Types page, and linked this as the official discussion thread.

There's a lot of things to consider in developing a new feed type, but ultimately it all comes down to two things: (1) how much more value does this feature bring to our users, and (2) how many new licenses of ProGet would this feature sell.

The second question is where internal market research comes in, but we would love your opinion on the first question.

Here's a nice and simple way to help understand value: how much more do you suppose your company/organization would pay for this feature if it were available as a hypothetical add-on? $100/year? $1,000/year? $10,000/year? Etc. And why? What time is it saving, risk is it mitigating, etc.

The second part of the value equation is how much effort will it take, technically speaking. It's more than 15 minutes obviously, but is it 10 hours? 100 hours? Etc.

On the plus side, the package format seems to be documented pretty well. However, the registry API has a huge red flag:

The index key should be a URL to a git repository with the registry's index.

Does this mean their API is Git-based, and we'd need to first add private Git repository hosting to ProGet? And did they test it with private/authenticated Git repositories, or just their public (probably GitHub) repository?

Hi @mcascone ,

We don't have a single API method that can be used to delete all package versions from the API, but the foreach loop will do the trick!

I should add that I am doing this as the first stab at an attempt to automatically delete packages from a development feed, when the corresponding branch in github is deleted

I don't know the specifics/details of your use-case, but based on what I read, I'd recommend these guidelines:

• assuming: one GitHub repository, one project, one package you want to release
• use the same package name/group for all packages you create for this project, regardless of branch or development status
• create your "dev" packages using a prerelease version number, that has a sort of -ci.## version (assuming you use CI to build packages)
• embed the commit id and branch in your upack metadata file, for traceability
• if you want to see which branch the packages was created from using the version number alone, add a +branch metadata label to the version number for branches (don't do this for master)
• use repackaging and promotion to take your -ci packages to -rc to stable (and the desired feed)
• let retention policies automatically cleanup up the -ci packages

Hi @kichikawa_2913 ,

I think it's this way for "historic reasons" - mostly all the other feed types came later, and it seems no one ever changes these paths or noticed.

Easy enough to make it configurable, but can you share your use case? Why do you want to use something other than a single root path with all of your packages?

Anyway I added a feature for this, and we should be able to get it in the next maintenance release PG-2006

Cheers,

Steve

Hi @benjamin-soddy_9591,

No problem "resurrecting" topics! We definitely want to hear from users about feedback/feature requests.

We still haven't had anyone else ask for deprecation since this request, but I wonder if there's a better solution to solving your challenges than this feature. It sounds like you want to increase governance of your NuGet Packages, potentially with some sort of compliance in mind.

The dotnet list package --vulnerable is probably not what you want for your organization; NuGet's Built-in Vulnerability Scanning is really limited, in part because it only reports on a fraction of known package vulnerabilities (164 as of today). It also won't block packages that you deem problematic, unlike ProGet's feature.

The same is true with dotnet list package --outdated -- it's probably not what you want, because it relies on developers to have to know (1) to run the command, and (2) know what to do if there's an outdated dependency.

There are better ways to manage third-party packages (see How to Create a Package Approval Workflow for NuGet), and you'd better served knowing who's consuming outdated packages (see Use Package Consumers to Track Dependencies

Just some thoughts; like I said, we haven't had any demand for this feature, but these are proven solutions for improving governance of packages as organizations grow/expand their NuGet usage like you are.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @toseb82171_2602,

In Docker, images must have a namespace. When they don't, the Docker client will transparently append library/ to those namespaces. In general, this behavior is not desirable, and it's recommended to use library/python or, in a ProGet context, myproget.corp/mydockerfeed/library/python.

That said, there is a setting on the connector that may help resolves such images, but these images can be problematic even with that.

AS for extending the trial, no problem - you can actually do this yourself on my.inedo.com, on the day of expiry. Of course, please contact us if you run into any issues or have licensing questions.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi @geraldizo_0690,

Thanks for the pointers -- now as an FYI, these settings would have to be a Feed-level setting, but the drop-downs would be the same.

FYI, here's the code we use to generate the Release file --- I'm not sure what those other header values do, but we probably wouold just want to add the two you suggested.

What do you think?

I suspect this will be a quick, opt-in change!

private void WriteReleaseFile(Stream output)
{
    using var writer = new StreamWriter(output, InedoLib.UTF8Encoding, leaveOpen: true) { NewLine = "\n" };
    writer.WriteLine($"Suite: {this.Distro}");
    writer.WriteLine($"Codename: {this.Distro}");
    writer.WriteLine(FormattableString.Invariant($"Date: {this.Generated:ddd', 'dd' 'MMM' 'yyyy' 'HH':'mm':'ss' UTC'}"));
// NotAutomatic: yes  <-- add here
// ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes <-- add here
    writer.WriteLine($"Architectures: {string.Join(' ', this.indexes.Select(i => i.Architecture).Distinct(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))}");
    writer.WriteLine($"Components: {string.Join(' ', this.indexes.Select(i => i.Component).Distinct(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))}");

    var desc = FeedCache.GetFeed(this.feedId)?.Feed_Description;
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(desc))
        writer.WriteLine($"Description: {desc.ReplaceLineEndings(" ")}");

    writeHashes("MD5Sum:", i => i.MD5);
    writeHashes("SHA1:", i => i.SHA1);
    writeHashes("SHA256:", i => i.SHA256);
    writeHashes("SHA512:", i => i.SHA512);

    void writeHashes(string name, Func<IndexHashData, byte[]> getHash)
    {
        writer.WriteLine(name);
        foreach (var i in this.indexes)
        {
            writer.WriteLine($" {Convert.ToHexString(getHash(i.Uncompressed)).ToLowerInvariant()} {i.Uncompressed.Length,16} {i.Component}/binary-{i.Architecture}/Packages")
            writer.WriteLine($" {Convert.ToHexString(getHash(i.GZip)).ToLowerInvariant()} {i.GZip.Length,16} {i.Component}/binary-{i.Architecture}/Packages.gz");
        }
    }
}

Hi @Nils-Nilsson ,

This will be fixed via PG-3266 in the upcoming maintenance release (next Friday). It looks like it was a separate, SQL Server only bug. It's easy to patch if you'd like the SQL Script. Just let us know!

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @pg_user_8607 ,

Can we move this issue to a new topic? I would "split" it for you, but then it won't show up on our dashboard when a reply comes through.

Separate threads make it a lot easier to manage things on our end and keep track of things better :)

But before you do that, just a hint - look at the container output startup logs. Basically just run without the -d and you'll be able to see the console output, and post anything related to the databse there.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi @kichikawa_2913 ,

The NuGet client's behavior is based on NuGet.org, where no authentication is ever required to view/download packages. As such, it doesn't pass the API key when doing those queries; instead, you can use a username of api and the password of your api key.

Based on the issue though, it sounds like ProGet is unable resolve the groups; I would use the "test privileges" function on the Tasks page to verify this. Thatw ill show you if the username can download packages or not.

The most common reason that groups aren't resolving is that the member is not directly in the group (i.e. they're in a group which is a member of the group), and you don't have recursive groups enabled; do note that this is really slow on some domains.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @mcascone ,

Just looking at the code real quick, I suspect we have a bug where it writes out the wrong files name for the new package:
https://github.com/Inedo/upack/blob/master/src/upack/Repack.cs#L120

That's probably an easy fix, which we can do as part of this Q&A item. I'll wait to hear back about this one.

As for the error, "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.", that sounds like it's HTTPS related. Could you attach Fiddler, or something like that, to find out what's happening under the hood? We may be able to error message to better report it if so.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @pariv_0352,

Thanks for clarifying; looking closer, ProGet requires that X-Forwarded-Host is simply a hostname. You're right, there is no "standard" for this, but that's what ProGet does for the time being.. and if the input is invalid, then you get the error you'll see.

I would change your reverse-proxy header configuration to:

• X-Forwarded-Host: www.testdomain.com
• X-Forwarded-Port: 82

Hope that helps,
Steve

Hi @cimen-eray1_6870 ,

Great questions; there's no problem having a second instance with ProGet Free Edition.

The relevant restriction is that you can't use a Connector in ProGet Free Edition to connect to another instance of ProGet (either another Free Edition or your paid edition).

Hopefully you can use your Maven feed as a proof of concept for implementing it in the main instance. Good luck!

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @m-webster_0049 ,

The first thing I would try is to troubleshoot this is to switch to a very basic API key like hello. That just eliminates any typos, spacing, etc.

Next, I would try specifying the API Key via X-ApiKey header (see docs) - just to see if you get a different error. It's possible there is a regression somewhere.

Best,
Steve
