File Share PowerShellGet Repositories

It’s possible to work with local, private PowerShellGet Repositories! The File Share Repository is the simplest way to work with local, private Repositories.

Requirements

NuGet.exe must be available in:

• C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PowerShellGet\ or
• C:\Users<yourAccount>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PowerShellGet\
• NuGet.exe can be downloaded from https://aka.ms/psget-nugetexe

Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider.dll must be available in:

• C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\nuget\2.8.5.208

PowerShell Modules:

• PackageManagement 1.4.7
• PowerShellGet 2.2.5

Download the Requirements from this site as PowerShellGetForOffline.zip:

Creating a local repository

Create a new share on your NAS or something like that.

Registering a local repository

Register your new share as a PowerShellGet Repository

$LocalGallery = @{
    Name                 = "LocalGallery"
    SourceLocation       = "\\YourShare\PSRepository"
    ScriptSourceLocation = "\\YourShare\PSRepository"
    InstallationPolicy   = 'Trusted'
}
Register-PSRepository @LocalGallery
Get-PSRepository | Select-Object Name,Trusted,SourceLocation,ScriptSourceLocation,Registered,PackageManagementProvider | Format-Table -AutoSize

Sonatype Nexus Repository

You can download a docker image of sonatype nexus3 for your internal PowerShell Gallery.

Using Docker

Docker Pull:

docker pull sonatype/nexus3

To run, binding the exposed port 8081 to the host, use:

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name nexus sonatype/nexus3

Get admin password

docker exec -it nexus1 /bin/bash
cd /nexus-data
cat admin.password

Change admin password

Open http://localhost:8081 and login as admin. Change the password in the wizard.

Create a user

Navigate to Repository administration, click Security, Users and create a new user. Add the user to the nx-admin group.

Activate NuGet API Key

To publish Modules and Scripts, you must have a valide NuGet API Key. Open http://localhost:8081 and login as user. Navigate to Security, Realms and activate NuGet API-Key Realm.

Navigate to the user profile and click NuGet API Key and click the Button Access API Key and copy the API Key.

Create Nuget Repositories

Create two new Nuget repositories, one for PowerShell Modules and the other for PowerShell Scripts.

Open http://localhost:8081 and login as user. Navigate to Repository administration, click Repositories and create a Nuget (hosted) Repository for PSModules and one for PSScripts.

The new repositories could be accessed over http://localhost:8081/repository/PSModules/ and http://localhost:8081/repository/PSScripts/.

Registering Repository to nexus container

Before the nexus repository can be used, it must be registered using the Register-PSRepository command. For nexus repositories with no anonymous access you must provide your credentials:

$PSModulesUri = 'http://localhost:8081/repository/PSModules/'
$PSSCriptsUri = 'http://localhost:8081/repository/PSSCripts/'
$Splatting = @{
    Name                      = 'myPSGallery'
    SourceLocation            = $PSModulesUri
    PublishLocation           = $PSModulesUri
    ScriptSourceLocation      = $PSSCriptsUri
    ScriptPublishLocation     = $PSSCriptsUri
    InstallationPolicy        = 'Trusted'
    PackageManagementProvider = 'NuGet'
    Credential                = Get-Credential
}
Register-PSRepository @Splatting -Verbose

Use the Repository

Publish a Module to the file share-based repository

For file share-based repositories, SourceLocation and ScriptSourceLocation must match. That’s why I move the module to a Modules subfolder.

Publish-Module -Path 'D:\temp\PsNetTools' -Repository LocalGallery -NuGetApiKey 'AnyStringWillDo'

Move-Item -Path '\\YourShare\PSRepository\PsNetTools.0.7.65.nupkg' `
 -Destination '\\YourShare\PSRepository\Modules\PsNetTools.0.7.65.nupkg'

Find-Module -Repository LocalGallery | Select-Object Version,Name,Description

Publish a Module to the nexus repository

For nexus repositories with no anonymous access you must provide your API Key/credentials:

Publish-Module -Path 'D:\temp\PsNetTools' -Repository myPSGallery -NuGetApiKey 'YourAPIKey' -Verbose

Find-Module -Repository myPSGallery -Credential (Get-Credential) -Verbose

Use the Module

Find-Module -Repository LocalGallery

Install-Module -Repository LocalGallery -Name PsNetTools

Get-InstalledModule

Test-PsNetDig tinuwalther.github.io

Uninstall-Module -Name PsNetTools

Publish a Script for file share-based repositories

For file share-based repositories, SourceLocation and ScriptSourceLocation must match. That’s why I move the script to a Scripts subfolder.

Publish-Script -Path D:\Temp\New-PSiCalEvent\New-PSiCalendarEvent.ps1 -Repository LocalGallery

Move-Item -Path '\\YourShare\PSRepository\New-PSiCalendarEvent.1.0.2.nupkg' `
 -Destination '\\YourShare\PSRepository\Scripts\New-PSiCalendarEvent.1.0.2.nupkg'

Find-Script -Repository LocalGallery | Select-Object Version,Name,Description

Publish a Script for nexus repository

For nexus repositories with no anonymous access you must provide your API Key/credentials:

Publish-Script -Path D:\Temp\New-PSiCalEvent\New-PSiCalendarEvent.ps1 -Repository myPSGallery -NuGetApiKey 'YourAPIKey' -Verbose

Find-Script -Repository myPSGallery -Credential (Get-Credential) -Verbose

Use the script

Install-Script -Repository LocalGallery -Name New-PSiCalendarEvent

Get-InstalledScript

New-PSiCalendarEvent `
 -EventStart '19.09.2021 13:00' `
 -EventEnd '19.09.2021 14:00' `
 -EventSubject 'New-PSiCalendarEvent' `
 -EventDescription 'New-PSiCalendarEvent Description' `
 -EventLocation 'Home Office' `-FullFilename 'New-PSiCalendarEvent'
