I am writing framework components for a project I am working on and I'm wondering if it's possible to host a NuGet package locally without a server so I'll be able to create a full release cycle just by using my computer.
If it's possible, please explain how to do it.
You can use a regular folder. More info here:

We have a web app project that still uses NuGet for content packages management (jQuery, Knockback, knockoutjs, etc.). We are trying to convert to use LibMan, and running into an issue where some older packages do not exist (for instance walltime-js). How do we work around this issue?
Try using a different provider. The current default, Cdnjs, is a curated catalog; the other two providers, JSDelivr and Unpkg, host any package that's available in NPM and thus have much broader catalogs.
I have set up a small test Nuget private repository on my machine following this guide.
Everything is working perfectly and I can publish packages, update versions, download them etc. The only problem is that the DownloadCount of my packages is always 0 regardless of how many times I download it.
I downloaded NuGet source but could not find a place where this value is updated. Moreover, nuget does not seem to use any DB technology so probably the feed is just generated on demand from the contents of the Packages folder.
Does anyone have any idea if this is a known issue or if it's a problem in my setup or if I should just add some code to the server to record downloads myself?
Thanks!
NuGet.Server based web sites are simply a front-end exposing an OData feed on top of a file share. There's no real database behind it, no indexing, no auditing, tracing, metrics or statistics, or any of that kind of stuff.
You could build it yourself, or take a look at alternatives such as MyGet, ProGet, Artifactory, etc.
I have several ASP.NET application running under a common IIS Site and would like to use a NuGet package to transform their config while copying versioned JavaScript file to the IIS Site's Root application Content folder.
Can NuGet be used like this? I.e. can it be determine during package installation/updating which IIS Sites root application an ASP.NET project is being run under (using the preinit powershell script for example).
The tool you are looking for is Octopus Deploy It install nuget packages on IIS, as windows service, etc. Moreover it gives raeally nice GUI for management.
NuGet is a dependency manager, and as such is appropriate for use at development/build, not deployment time.
Take a look at Inedo's BuildMaster. It can take care of the process from source control through production deployment. There's also a free version that will most certainly handle your requirements, and it also has a module to manage your configuration files so you don't need to worry about doing transforms.
(disclaimer: I work for Inedo)
Having (presumably) understood the motivation behind Nuget, I want to know, whether we still require internet access to download a package which is already being downloaded earlier for different project in different solution?
I believe you can even set up your own feed stored on the file system as described here.
You can setup your own local NuGet repository as As Denis Ivin has already said.
NuGet also has its own local machine cache which keeps NuGet packages that you have installed previously (C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache). You can install these by selecting the Recent packages tab in the Manage Packages dialog.
Having your own local NuGet repository is probably better since the cache could be cleared.
I'm looking into using Eclipse as a dev environment for PHP projects, but it's pretty huge and I'm not sure where to look for answers. I want to be able to work on remote files from within the client - i.e., rather than using an FTP client to download copies from our remote development server, working on them locally, and then having to upload them to test, I want to be able to work directly on the remote files. I know many development environments allow this - my colleagues who work on Macs use Coda, which allows them to define sites and access all files via an explorer tree. I'm currently running Bluefish on Ubuntu, and it also allows this.
I've downloaded and installed Helios, but can't seem to find an obvious menu entry for handling remote files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edited to add: we don't use version control at this point, so I'm not looking for any kind of Subversion tie-in.
The RSE (Remote System Explorer) may be what you're looking for. It's an implementation of the Eclipse File System framework which allows resources in your workspace to be backed in reality by remote resources.
Since you are working on Ubuntu, you can have a look over here
Perhaps this will be of some help

I've never used it myself but it seems to do what you're looking for syncing and editing files over SFTP.
I usually develop using remote Eclipse. Use ssh -Y user#server to login and try executing eclipse on that shell, it should open on your computer if you have X properly configured.
Of course, this Eclipse instance will have access to the remote server files.
This is more general than Eclipse: http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net. I usually use the SSH/SFTP version (safer): http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
Both are based on FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/)
Install eclipse plugin Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime.
See video at How to Edit codes and files remotely with Eclipse.
Also, check out how to configure the remote connection: Using Remote Connections.
