Research direction

Start by reviewing this repository's existing REST-based package source and the issue's proposed C#/.NET 8 and local SQL Server direction. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so the first step is to define the server's required scope and configuration needs. Done should mean an agreed implementation plan with clear requirements for the Windows Server service and management interface.

Description

Issue-Feature
Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently, there is no good solution to host an on-prem winget repo that does not connect back to Azure.
The idea would be to create a Winget Repo Server/Service for Windows Server that could easily configured by the managing end-user.

Proposed technical implementation details

This could be done by

  1. Writing the server/service in C# using .Net 8.0 and ms sql local db for the database
  2. Implement it using built in web components for site management.
