 +===== Setup self hosted Chocolatey Repository/Proxy on Linux =====
 +
 +To host a local repository for [[https://chocolatey.org|Chocolatey]] either as server for self-hosted packages or as proxy server for any NuGet server/the official chocolatey repository server we use Solartype Nexus3: [[https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository|sonatype.com - Nexus3]].  Nexus3 is also useable for hosting a simple, easy-to-manage repository for the APT-package manager.
 +
 +
 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +  - Download Debian 12 Server from here: [[https://www.debian.org/distrib/|debian.org/distrib]] and install your machine.
 +  - Install Java 17: <code bash>sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk</code>
 +  - Add user ''nexus'' to run Nexus3: <code bash>adduser nexus</code>
 +  - Download the latest Nexus3 from ''https://help.sonatype.com/en/download.html''
 +  - Unpack it to ''/opt/'': <code bash>tar xzvf <downloaded-tar-package>.tar.gz -C /opt</code>
 +  - Change owner of unpacked files: <code bash>chown nexus -R /opt/nexus-<version></code>
 +  - Make binary executeable: <code bash>chmod +x /opt/nexus-<version>/bin/nexus</code>
 +  - Create systemservice with the name ''nexus.service'' and copy it to ''/etc/systemd/system'' (keep in mind to add the nexus version): <panel type="info" icon="glyphicon glyphicon-file" title="nexus.service">
 +<code bash>
 +[Unit]
 +Description=nexus service
 +After=network.target
 +  
 +[Service]
 +Type=forking
 +Environment="NEXUS_SECRETS_KEY_FILE=/opt/sonatype-work/nexus3/keystores/nexus.secrets.json"
 +LimitNPROC=65536
 +LimitNOFILE=65536
 +ExecStart=/opt/nexus-<version>/bin/nexus start
 +ExecStop=/opt/nexus-<version>/bin/nexus stop 
 +User=nexus
 +Restart=on-abort
 +TimeoutSec=600
 +  
 +[Install]
 +WantedBy=multi-user.target
 +</code>
 +</panel><code bash>cp nexus.service /etc/systemd/system</code><code bash>systemctl start nexus.service</code><code bash>systemctl enable nexus.service</code>
 +  - When everything was successful, enter the webservice with ''<nowiki>http://<ip>:8081/</nowiki>''
 +  - The password for ''admin'' is located under ''/opt/sonatype/sonatype-work/nexus3/admin.password'' after entering the password, it's forced to be changed.<code bash>cat /opt/sonatype/sonatype-work/nexus3/admin.password</code> The installation of Nexus is now finished!
 +
 +==== Setup Repository ====
 +
 +=== NuGet Proxy ===
 +To add a new NuGet (Chocolatey) repository proxy add a new ''nuget (proxy)''. To proxy the official Chocolatey repository add the following URL as URL: 
 +<code bash>https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/</code>
 +Finally save the proxy repository.
 +
 +=== NuGet Hosted ===
 +If the repository should also host packages locally add a new ''nuget (hosted)''
 +<panel><WRAP center todo>This section will be extended later.</WRAP></panel>
 +
 +=== NuGet Group ===
 +To make the proxy-repository and all local hosted packages available through one URL, add a ''nuget-group'' on the repository tab. Then add both ''nuget-proxy'' and ''nuget-hosted'' to the group.
 +
 +=== APT Repository (hosted) ===
 +  - Firstly create a GPG-Key for signing the release file: 
 +  - Therefore install ''gpg'' and generate a key with <code bash>gpg --gen-key</code>. Then export the key with to paste it under ''APT Settings'': <code bash>gpg --export-secret-key --armor <KEY-ID> > Key.gpg</code>   
 +  - If your key is password-secured enter the passphrase in the field below.
 +  - Then add the name above e.g. ''apt'', and set the distribution e.g. to ''stable''
 +  - It's then recommended to upload the public-release-key to a RAW storage to make it easy to download. Therefore export the public key with: <code bash>gpg --armor --export <KEY-ID> > Key.gpg</code>
 +  - Finally add the repo to APT: <code bash>echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/your-repo.gpg] https://<your-repo>/repository/apt/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<your-repo>.list</code>
 +  - And add the key: <code bash>curl -sS https://<your-repo>/repository/storage/ReleaseKey.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/<your-repo>.gpg > /dev/null</code>
 +  - Finished!
