Teamcity Nuget Publish to Octopus Repository(built in) fails with 503 error

Question

I have an AsP.net Website with nuspec file set up on teamcity.I have basically defined two build steps. 1. Nuget Pack 2. Nuget Publish. The nuget package gets created successfully, but I get a 503 error whilst trying to run the Nuget publish step.

Here is the teamcity publish settings

the error returned is as follows: [push] An error was encountered when fetching 'PUT https://myoctopusdeployrepo/nuget/packages/'. The request will now be retried. [10:08:14][push] An error occurred while sending the request. [10:08:14][push] The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

I know the push to the built in octopus repository works at least for asp.net csharp projects using .csproj and octopack , but i get this error when trying to push a package that was generated from a nuspec file.

Perhaps there is something I'm missing out in the settings ?

Answer 1

Whilst researching and trying out certain other build steps, I came across the 'Octopus Deploy: Push Packages' build step ( Teamcity 2018.2). This runs octo.exe which will need to be installed on the build agent(Octopus deploy commandLine tool) . This plugin is available on the octopus deploy website. the command as listed in the log is as below octo.exe push --server http://octopusdeployserver --apikey SECRET --package <package url>

I hope this helps.
