Hosting Blob/S3

[AdamKearn]

I'm looking into getting this setup for deploying legacy apps that doesn't have a public installer etc...

Looking at the README files it appears that you have to spin up quite a few resources to allow this to function.

Is there anyway to host a private source/repo for winget just within a S3 bucket / azure blob storage etc?

I'm assuming if there is a static JSON file it should still function without the other backend components that's needed?

Yes, I actually do this for non-public downloads. You just have to have the capability to download via URL (without authenticating to a website). I host in an azure blob and publish in a custom Winget rest source (created from https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli-restsource).

but you cannot upload them to the public aka.ms\winget repository.

Ah perfect. I just wanted to confirm it was possible to do it directly from a storage account in azure.

I can also host the same installers on the blob storage so that's fine.

Some of the things I want to install normally get packaged in a powershell script but I believe I should be able to just wrap it within a zip file directly.
