I wanted to exchange some experience regarding private NuGet feed hosting solutions.
We have used MyGet for years both for our private and public packages. But recently it became so unstable that it would not be responsible to not investigate the alternatives. I looked into Azure Artifacts first because, we already have Azure Devops and it comes free. The transition was mostly painless (I plan to write about it in more detail soon). But hosting public feeds doesn’t seem as easy. One needs to create a public project just for that. So, we still use MyGet for public feeds for now. But will move them also elsewhere.
What are your experiences with private feed hosting? Do you host them yourselves or use a paid service?
Aah yes, naming collisions. I hadn’t considered that. I’m curious what kind packages you want to make available to the public are also prone to naming collisions that can be solved by a namespace convention. Are you publishing libraries, applications, VS extensions or templates?
We are publishing libraries (mostly client libraries). There are lots of legacy stuff. It’s safer to own the whole feed instead of pushing it to nuget.org and hoping for the best :)
