NuGet - Add Global Package source to your build server

A few years ago I blogged about  how to add a global package source on your build server. Over the years NuGet has evolved and the approach described in that blog post no longer applies.

For the latest NuGet version, the config files are located here:

  • %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.config

You can either directly manipulate the values inside this NuGet.config or you can add an extra package source through the nuget sources command:

More information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/cli-reference/cli-ref-sources

Remark 1: This config file is scoped to the current user. So it is important to execute this using the user account used for your build agent.

Remark 2: If possible I would recommend to avoid this approach and add a nuget.config to your solution or project instead. Add the reference to the package source in there. The advantage of doing that is that it will work on a clean system without any configuration changes.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
