🛠️ Setup Guide

1. Download and Extract the Repository 📥
   First, download the files from the repository and extract them to any location on your system.

2. Install Python 3.10 or Higher 🐍
   Ensure that Python 3.10 or higher is installed on your machine. You can download it from the official Python website.

3. Install Packages 🔌
   Open a Command Prompt (CMD) and run the following commands to install the following packages:

   python -m pip install Flask
   python -m pip install dnspython
   python -m pip install pyyaml
   python -m pip install requests
   python -m pip install cryptography

   Or just run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies.

4. Set Up Reverse Proxy (Recommended) 🔒
   Since the connection between Winget and the repository only works over HTTPS, it is recommended to set up a reverse proxy (e.g., Apache) in front of the repository for secure communication.

   Alternative (Not Recommended) ⚠️
   If you choose not to set up a reverse proxy, you can use Flask’s built-in web server with HTTPS (though this is not recommended for production). To enable HTTPS on the Flask server, modify the main.py file as follows:

   if __name__ == '__main__':
       app.run(ssl_context=('SSL/cert.pem', 'SSL/server.pem'))

   You will also need to create your own SSL certificates using tools like OpenSSL or similar.

5. Accessing the Repository 🌐
   Once everything is set up, you should be able to access Winget-Repo under:

   https://localhost:5000
   

   Or any port you have configured for the server.

🔗 Connecting Winget with Winget-Repo

Once the Winget-Repo server is set up and accessible, you can now connect the Winget client to the server. Follow these steps:

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator 🖥️
   On the client that needs to connect to the Winget-Repo server, open a Command Prompt (CMD) with administrator rights.

2. Add the Winget-Repo Source ➕
   In the Command Prompt, execute the following command:

   winget source add -n Winget-Repo -t "Microsoft.Rest" -a https://{URL of the server}/api/

   Replace {URL of the server} with the actual URL of your Winget-Repo server.

3. Client authentication 🔒
   If client authentication is enabled on the server, include the following parameter: --header "{'Token': '{ CLIENT_TOKEN }'}"

   Replace {CLIENT_TOKEN} with the client token obtained from Client Management on the server.

   Note: The token must be included in every client request.

4. Confirmation ✅
   If the setup is successful, you should see the following message:

   Source is being added:
     Winget-Repo -> https://{URL of the server}/api/
   Done
   

After completing these steps, your Winget-Repo should be ready to serve software and updates to clients within your local network!🎉
