Hi Roy, after our Ignite roundtable I thought it would be awesome to shift an on-premises repository towards winget with a custom on-prem repository for winget and using self-created YAML files for the customers app. However, it seems that's far more complex than I thought. found some good blogs on this but they mention there will be a need for a database and other stuff incl. Visual Studio to create webservice hosting the files. Even hosting in Azure is not that straightforward. tldr: It would be great to have a step-by-step guide on how to host a winget repository on-premises and Azure cloud. What do you think?

Hi Karl, Thank you for the feedback on the GitHub Releases for the REST Source we have included a PowerShell module that you can import and run that will stand up all of the required Azure resources and prepare a REST source for use in your Enterprise. Once you've imported it you can run the PowerShell cmdlets to connect and stand up the environment. We have documentation in the GitHub to help guide you through the approach. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli-restsourceGotcha. I have to say it is not exactly the how-to I was looking for, it looks very DevOps minded. So, without VisualStudio and CosmosDB there's no fun?
Afaik Visual Studio needs to be licensed properly, especially for production use.
