⚠️ Note: WinGet requires HTTPS for secure communication and without it WinGet will throw an error. It is recommended to put WinGetty behind a reverse proxy with a client-trusted SSL/TLS certificate.
By using a reverse proxy with HTTPS, you can ensure secure transmission of data between clients and WinGetty. Popular reverse proxy solutions include NGINX, Apache, and Caddy. Please refer to the documentation of your chosen reverse proxy for detailed instructions on configuring SSL/TLS certificates.
You can test the WinGet API by opening http://localhost:8080/api/v1/winget/information in a browser or with curl / Invoke-RestMethod.
Now you can add it as a package source in winget using the command provided in the 'Setup' tab in the webinterface:
winget source add -n WingetNexus -t "Microsoft.Rest" -a https://localhost:5001/api/v1/winget/
