NuGet Hosted Repositories in Nexus Repository 2

A hosted repository for NuGet can be used to upload your own packages as well as third-party packages. It is good practice to create two separate hosted repositories for these purposes. To create a NuGet hosted repository, simply create a new Hosted Repository and set the Provider to NuGet. A sample configuration for an internal releases NuGet hosted repository is displayed in Figure 15.3, “Example Configuration for a NuGet Hosted Repository for Release Packages”.

Besides the NuGet tab, the configuration for the repository has a NuPkg Upload tab as displayed in Figure 15.4, “The NuPkg Upload Panel for a Hosted NuGet Repository” that allows you to manually upload one or multiple packages.

The NuGet feed is immediately updated as packages are deployed or deleted from the host repository. To rebuild the feed for a hosted NuGet repository you can manually schedule a Rebuild NuGet Feed task.
