title: Does a local NuGet Gallery deployment require an Azure account?
body: <p>I'd like to run a local NuGet Gallery to serve dependencies to my build system.</p>
  
  <p>I notice in the web.config it asks for Azure details, but the code seems to suggest you can choose 'FileSystem' as a storage backend.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If I choose 'FileSystem' how do I configure the target folder?</li>
  <li>Can I instead point the storage engine at an in-house instance of SQL Server?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'm trying to avoid using a file system because that's what we are using now with NuGet Server and it's very slow. A couple of the devs like to pack and push every single successful build, so scalability is important.</p>
  
  <p>I hope any answers here will help others, too. For background, here is a great link of setting up your own NuGet Gallery. Sadly, the author has omitted all details pertaining to the actual package storage: <a href="https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/wiki/Hosting-the-NuGet-Gallery-Locally-in-IIS" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/wiki/Hosting-the-NuGet-Gallery-Locally-in-IIS</a></p>
