Moving location of built-in repository to a nas share - not supported?

Legacy Execution
1

Octopus 3.11.0 - I am installing Octopus for the first time and want to point the built-in repo to a NAS share. I can see the share and write to it, but the Octopus.Server.exe --nugetRepository command is failing.

Even if I map the share to a drive letter, the command still fails.

Hi,

Thank you for getting in touch. You are missing the path parameter, see moving octopus folders for more information.

Your command should be Octopus.Server.exe path --instance=ich --nugetRepository="\\cifscorpap\odrepo\ich"

Hope that helps
