Simplify and homogenize selfhosing

The whole point of winget is to simplify and homogenize the process of packages in windows. having it rely on azure is counter productive.

should be as simple as installing (either via winget or flathub) and putting the manifest in a location. Not making ppl feel smart about jumping trough meaningless hoops and venderlocking.

https://github.com/thilojaeggi/WinGetty is an alternative to this and can be self-hosted as well and doesn't need any cloud dependency.

Same for https://winget.pro, which also has a hosted option.

Appreciate the feedback on this @NicTanghe . I would really like to hear more about how you would want to use this in an offline way.

@RDMacLachlan I think like me, they want a way to host this with on-prem infrastructure. My org isn't using azure (or other providers) and a request for azure resources would most likely be denied.

@w0 have you had a look at https://winget.pro as a non-Azure option?
