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.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
