Winget-Repo is a private repository for the Windows Package Manager (Winget), designed to provide software and updates within local networks without internet access. It allows centralized management and efficient installation and updating of software on multiple Windows clients.

• Easy-to-use Web Interface for managing packages and package versions 🌐
• Search, List, Show, Install, and Upgrade Packages via Winget 🔍📦
• Cross-platform: The server runs on all environments that support Python 🖥️💻

• Library for Click and Deploy Software: Simplified deployment of software with just a click 🖱️📲
• Client Overview: Track which clients are accessing Winget-Repo 🖥️👀
• Permission Management: Control access and user rights 🔐
• Support for Nested Installers 🛠️🔄
• And much more: Continuous improvements and new features on the way! 🌱✨

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 Flask 🔌
   Open a Command Prompt (CMD) and run the following command to install Flask, which is the framework for the server:

   python -m pip install Flask

   Flask is the only package that needs to be installed.

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.

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. 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!🎉
