  1. Create the following environment variables depending on the authentication method:

    1. Get an IAM token for the Yandex account or service account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="iam"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<IAM_token>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously obtained IAM token.

    Note

    The IAM token's lifetime is limited to 12 hours.

    1. Get an OAuth token for the Yandex account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="oauth"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<OAuth_token>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously obtained OAuth token.

    Note

    The OAuth token is valid for one year.

    1. Create an API key for the service account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="api_key"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<API_key>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously created API key.

    Note

    The API key maximum lifetime is set manually when you create the key.

  2. Set up the NuGet configuration file:

    To edit the NuGet configuration file using the dotnet CLI, run this command:

    dotnet nuget add source "https://registry.yandexcloud.net/nuget/v3/<registry_ID>/index.json" \
  -n "cloud-registry" \
  -u %REGISTRY_USERNAME% \
  -p %REGISTRY_PASSWORD% \
  --store-password-in-clear-text --protocol-version 3

    To edit the NuGet configuration file using the NuGet CLI, run the nuget.exe file with the following parameters:

    nuget sources add -Name "cloud-registry" \
  -Source "https://registry.yandexcloud.net/nuget/v3/<registry_ID>/index.json" \
  -Username "%REGISTRY_USERNAME%" \
  -Password "%REGISTRY_PASSWORD%" \
  -StorePasswordInClearText -ProtocolVersion 3

    1. Open the NuGet configuration file:

      Note

      When using the dotnet CLI, the configuration file is located at ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config, while for the NuGet CLI, at ~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config.

    2. Update the configuration in the file as follows:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="cloud-registry" value="https://registry.yandexcloud.net/nuget/v3/<registry_ID>/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
  </packageSources>

  <packageSourceCredentials>
    <cloud-registry>
      <add key="Username" value="%REGISTRY_USERNAME%" />
      <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="%REGISTRY_PASSWORD%" />
    </cloud-registry>
  </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>
