In their own words
Inedo ProGet
Inedo ProGet is a package and container repository for teams that need a central place to manage software packages and Docker images. It supports formats including NuGet, PyPI, Conda, npm, Ruby Gems, Maven, Chocolatey, PowerShell/DSC, RPM/Yum, Debian/apt, and Alpine/APK. Teams can cache upstream packages, set approval workflows, scan for vulnerabilities, identify licenses, and block packages that fail their requirements. ProGet can host private Docker registries and scan container contents to help control which images reach production. It integrates with CI/CD tools and includes a CLI and HTTP API for component identification and SBOM publishing. Deployment options include self-hosted Windows or Linux installations and cloud VM or container environments. Identity and operational features include LDAP, SAML, load balancing, high availability, and feed replication for disaster recovery. The free edition permits commercial use and unlimited feeds for private packages and Docker, but has limited security and compliance features. Paid annual plans start at $2,395/year. Licensing is per server, and test or development installations require separate licenses.
