Azure Pipelines error - User lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'ReadPackages'.

I blogged before about the following Azure Pipelines error wen trying to do a NuGet restore:

##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(Unable to load the service index for source https://tfs.server.be/tfs/DefaultCollection/_packaging/797f899f-9ad1-4158-93bc-8f3293cf4a59/nuget/v3/index.json.

Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden - User 'Build\534a066a-3992-4851-a816-b189836bee69' lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'ReadPackages'. (DevOps Activity ID: 8D53BF1D-E45E-49C4-879F-6CBD8635D1CE)).

Although the solution I mentioned in the original blogpost should work, I found a different solution that should also do the trick.

Here are the steps:

  • Go to the Azure DevOps project that contains the failed pipeline in Azure DevOps.
  • Go to Artifacts
  • Select the feed that causes the problem from the drop down (if not selected by default)
  • Click the Feed Setting gear on the top right corner.
  • Go to Permissions and click on Add Users/groups
  • Search for <ProjectName> Build Service and add as Contributor.

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

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks.
