How do I register a new NuGet package source with dotnet CLI on Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

I am running .NET Core 1.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04, with the goal of hosting my Web APIs in Docker on Ubuntu. I want to build my packages on Ubuntu, but some of the NuGet references are hosted on an internal NuGet repository (Artifactory). This works fine in VS2015 on Windows after I add the package source, but when I run:

dotnet restore 

on Ubuntu, the packages hosted on the public NuGet repo download fine, but those on Artifactory fail:

error: Unable to resolve 'Mercury.BaseModel (>= 1.1.0)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1'. 

I found a NuGet config file at \home\<user>\.nuget\NuGet\NuGet.Config and added the Artifactory repository as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration>   <packageSources>     <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />     <add key="Artifactory-DEV" value="https://theluggage-agct.gray.net/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-institutional-development-local" protocolVersion="3"/>   </packageSources> </configuration> 

but I am still getting the same error.

NuGet itself does not work after installing the .NET Core SDK, I am using dotnet restore as mentioned - is there similar config I must edit for the dotnet CLI (which must be using NuGet?) or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

Dotnet CLI restore can take -s as source feed url, so if you have Artifactory with Remote repository to nuget.org.

dotnet restore -s https://artifactory.example.com/api/nuget/nuget.org
