Verdaccio - Private NPM Registry Proxy

Publish your libraries privately and still use all publicly available packages in the NPM Registry.

This setup uses the Dockerfile: https://hub.docker.com/r/verdaccio/verdaccio/dockerfile

Setup

Note: This setup is written for:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Docker version 18.09.0, build 4d60db4
• docker-compose version 1.21.2, build a133471

Change owner of data folder

sudo chown -R systemd-network data/

Verdaccio is running inside the Docker Container with it's own user verdaccio and usergroup verdaccio. You need to give permission to your System's Network Management service to make changes in the folder.

(optional) check that Network Management service is present:

cat /etc/passwd | grep systemd

Run

docker-compose up -d

You can now access it on http://localhost:4873

Configuring Verdaccio

The config file data/conf/config.yaml hold the configuration.

Docs: https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/configuration

Basic Usage

Point your npm cli to Verdaccio

npm set registry http://localhost:4873

Add yourself as a user

npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873

Now you can use npm as usual but everything will be proxied through Verdaccio.
