Build .NET Core Applications with an Agent, that can't connect to the internet












2















I have some trouble configuring / setting up the VSTS Agent and the TFS to be able to build .NET Core without connecting to the Internet.



Our build clients/agents currently are by security design not able to connect to the internet. That is a problem, because .NET Core seems to have a lot of packages, that are being retrieved from Nuget. Even the standard things like System.Runtime.Loader, which I have know knowledge of on what it does. But I think it's just a standard microsoft library that is needed by .NET Core and automatically added when creating a project right?



Anyways, back to the problem: Whenever I try to restore a project, it of course fails with something like this:



Unable to resolve 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design (>= 2.1.2)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1'.
Unable to resolve 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App (>= 2.1.1)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1'.

Unable to resolve 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing.Abstractions (>= 1.1.1)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1'.


I think I have a solution, but I don't like it at all: I could make a nuget feed to include every single package, that is required by my application.



But what I'd like to know, isn't there any other way to make this work? I don't like the idea of always having to upload/update all these standard .NET Core nuget packages all the time.



It would be nice to only have the real third party libraries like NLog / EF in the feed...



Edit:



What I don't understand, why doesn't the vsts-agent not use the folder:



C:Program FilesdotnetsdkNuGetFallbackFolder

  • Could your NuGetFallbackFolder be corrupt by any chance? I've heard that deleting it and then restoring again has worked for some people.
