Stratos, a simple HTTP service to list out installed NuGet and Chocolatey packages from a host

Stratos

When using Chocolatey and tools like Octopus Deploy, deploying software to tens or hundreds of servers goes like a breeze. But it is also easy to get confused: "What is actually running on the server right now?"

Stratos is a dead simple HTTP API that provides this information for you - making it great for information gathering on the entire testing cluster or just a simple check on that one team server.

Create the installable Chocolatey package: $ docker run -v $(pwd):/workspace -w "/workspace" -it mono ./build.sh && ./package.sh

Example usage:

# Install some packages:

choco install jdk8
choco install jq

# Install Stratos and invoke:

choco install stratos
(Invoke-WebRequest http://localhost:1337/api/chocoPackages).Content

Stratos is a chocolate made by Nidar in Trondheim, Norway. Please don't sue me for the name of this project, I love that chocolate.
