我可以在不使用 Nuget.exe 的情况下发布 NuGet package 吗？

Question

This may sound like an odd requirement, but I need to be able to push a NuGet package without using NuGet.exe.

I have a task to complete using a build agent that's normally used for docker builds; it's a Linux VM and it has almost nothing installed on it other than docker. I can create the package manually with a shell script, but I don't know how to push it to our nuget feed from a machine that doesn't have .NET installed or NuGet.exe.

Can I simply curl the file up to the feed, somehow? What endpoint to I need? How are the credentials supplied? What's the format of the HTTP request?

Sure, you can use curl for that. Lets say, you are publishing your package with dotnet nuget like this:

dotnet nuget push C:\Path\To\Package.1.2.3.nupkg --api-key 1234567890abcd --source http://localhost:44387/nuget

curl equivalent will be:

curl --verbose -k -X PUT http://localhost:44387/nuget -H "X-NuGet-ApiKey: 1234567890abcd" -F "data=@C:\Path\To\Package.1.2.3.nupkg"
