| Free tier | 200 MB hard per package: 'NOTE: 200MB is the maximum size of a package on the Chocolatey Community Repository. The package must download larger tools from a vendor site or mirror, or if possible, create semi-embedded packages.' unit MB; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
per-object-cap: 200 MB per .nupkg. retention: indefinite for moderated packages; unlisted packages remain downloadable. request-rate: push is rate-limited per API key; moderation queue is the real gate. |
| Identity | institution (inferred, not read) not published |
| Egress | Free serving, but every package is human-moderated before publication (CPMR rule set, VirusTotal scanning). |
| Per-object cap | per-object-cap: 200 MB (200000000 bytes) |
| Retention | per-object-cap: 200 MB per .nupkg. retention: indefinite for moderated packages; unlisted packages remain downloadable |
| Interface | rest, rclone rest |
| Tooling | choco push (write, needs API key), choco install/download (read), NuGet v2 OData at community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. No rclone backend. |
| Composes with | unlimited packages x unlimited versions x 200 MB, but each package is virus-scanned and moderated. The 2 GB NuGet limitation means large content must be fetched at install time from elsewhere - which is the opposite of storage. |
| Reliability | 200 MB plus mandatory malware scanning plus human moderation. Cannot hold large binaries at all - Chocolatey's own docs route >2 GB content to external hosting. |
