Overview

Sets up a Simple Server for Chocolatey packages. Allows you to host your own packages, many times as a private package repository (feed).

Module Description

There are three types of package feeds for Chocolatey - local folder/CIFS (UNC) share, simple server, and the sophisticated package gallery. Simple server is in the middle and most widely used Chocolatey/NuGet Package Server format.

Advantages:

  • Push over HTTP/HTTPS.
  • API key for pushing packages.
  • No direct access to packages - acls are locked down to just admins and push through api key.
  • Package store is file system.

Disadvantages:

  • Only one API key, so no multi user scenarios.
  • Starts to affect choco performance once the source has over 500 packages (maybe?).
  • No moderation.
  • No website to view packages.
  • No package statistics.

For more details about the other types of package feeds, see host your own feed.

Setup

What Chocolatey Server affects

  • Will create files at c:\tools\chocolatey.server.
  • Will install IIS and ASP.NET if not already installed.
  • Will remove the default website.
  • Sets up a website on port 80 (configurable) pointing to chocolatey.server
