npmirror - A lazy NPM mirror

WIP - Things will change! npmirror is a local NPM cache/mirror to make your NPM installs faster.

Install

1. Install Go
2. Run go install github.com/sebastianm/npmirror

Usage

Run npmirror at least with the -external-addr flag:

Usage of npmirror:
  -external-addr="": Required! External HTTP address (registry address)
  -http-addr="127.0.0.1:8023": httpd bind address
  -storage-file-dir="./npmirror": Storage directory for all cached NPM files
  -storage-type="file": Storage Type (only 'file' available in this version)

NPM Registry Configuration

You have to tell NPM to use your hosted npmirror. Replace [EXTERNAL_ADDR] with the address provided in -external-addr flag`.

To temporarily set the NPM registry:

npm --registry [EXTERNAL_ADDR] install angular

To permanently set the NPM registry:

npm config set registry [EXTERNAL_ADDR]
