Mirror the entire official NuGet repository

Question

Setting up a build server in an air gapped environment (no internet connection).

There are tools for mirroring but I'm wondering if there are any licensing issues mirroring the entire NuGet repository (https://api.nuget.org).

Also, does anyone know the size of the entire repo?

Answer 1

I can't speak to the legality of mirroring the NuGet repository.

I used NuGet.CatalogReader to get information on every package in the repository. I then made a HEAD request for the .nupkg URL to determine the Content-Length. I summed the size of each package and came up with ~2.36 TB. This should give you a good ballpark figure.
