I have a private azure devops repository with yeoman templates.
How can I use this private repo with yeoman without exposing it out of company?
Thank you in advance for your help.

With Azure Data Factory, mostly used with Azure Repo & for CI/CD, Azure DevOps is used.
Currently I am using Azure Data Factory, where the AzureRepo not configured and Azure DevOps is not to be used as DevOps need to be build around a framework which included GitLab, Concourse-CI , Terraform and other OpenSource tools. All the JSONs are exported & available on GitLab. From there Azure Data Factory need to be created on every check-in from the ARMs/ADF-JSONs.
Let me know if anyone has came across such scenarios and is there a way to publish Azure Data Factory without using AzureDevOps & AzureRepo.
Yes there is. The JSONs being exported are standard Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. These templates can be deployed from outside of Azure DevOps.
Here is how to deploy ARM templates using GitHub Actions
Another option would be to use Powershell New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName <resource-group-name> -TemplateFile <path-to-template>
Basically anything on how to deploy ARM templates to Azure will allow for Data Factory pipelines and infrastructure to be deployed.
we would like to share a URL pointing to an universal package to our company internal customers.
By opening the link the referenced universal package file shall be directly downloaded.
I know that I can use the Azure CLI for achieving the same goal but forcing the people to install and properly configure the Azure CLI only for downloading the package file is not ideal.
Therefore I am interested if there is a way to have a direct download link for a universal package.
Thank you
The answer is No.
1,If your customers donot have access to your azure devops project.
The most direct workaround i can think of is to create a azure repo and upload the universal package to this repo. Then create a PAT with only Code-read scope. Then you can share below commands with your customers. They can download the universal package directly with below git command.
git clone https://{PAT}#dev.azure.com/{Org}/{Proj}/_git/{repoName}
The PAT created above may have the access to your other azure repos. To create a more secure PAT with access to only one repo, you can refer to this thread Giving a script Git access to a single Azure Repo
2,If your customers have access to your azure devops project.
They can use their own credential to git clone the universal package azure repo directly.
Pulish the universal package to azure pipeline server as build artifacts as Torsten mentioned is workable too. But it is a little complicated.
You have to create a pipeline to publish the package and call Get Artifacts rest API to get the download url of the build artifacts. The download url will authenticate Your customers to download the artifacts.(So This is only workable if customers have access to your azure devops project)
You must use the Azure CLI to download the package. Azure DevOps [currently] doesn't support direct HTTP/HTTPS download links or other ways to download the package.
Build/pipeline artifacts can be downloaded, though.
Is there any way of using an external private nuget feed (either an Artifact feed belonging to another organization, or a standalone private (basic auth) enabled nugetserver) as an upstream source in Azure Artifacts?
It is possible in other parts of Azure Devops as a service connection, but I can't find a way of either utilizing service connections nor specify a private external nuget as upstream source in Artifacts. The only options are public nuget servers and feeds present in Devops.
Not yet. We're considering building support for custom upstream sources next quarter. This Developer Community suggestion tracks the idea.
Is it possible to have a package that references a private bitbucket repository? Something like below but I would need to supply a password and username. Is this at all possible with Dart?
dependencies:
secreterepo:
git: https://blah#bitbucket.org/blah/secretrepo.git
You could set up SSH to create an authenticated connection to BitBucket and then use an SSH URL in the dependency like git#bitbucket.org:blah/secretrepo.git
I'm attempting to move our internal builds to VSO. The kicker is that we have our own private nuget feeds that the builds will obviously need access to. Now I would rather not have to just open the feeds up to everyone and instead whitelist the ip(s) being used by the VSO hosted build agents.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how I go about getting th ip ranges used by these hosted agents?
Or is there a better way of achieving what I am after?
thanks
VSO Build Agents are hosteded in cloud, so there is no changeless IP range for them.
I would recommend you set a credential for your Nuget Server. And in the build definition, adding a powershell step to call Nuget restore instead of using the "Restore Nuget Packages" option provide by VSO.
Other option also might to be install your own agent service on machine which has access to yours Nuget Repo:
