And easy way to get started with a private npm server, along with npm-delegate. These instructions assume you've already installed Docker per the Getting Started guide.
This image can be build by running the following docker command:
docker build -t npmjs .
After building the image, a container can be spawned.
By providing the hostname via Docker's -h option, you can ensure that npm-delegate operates effectively.
docker run -d -h cdnutu npmjs
npm-delegate is exposed on port 1337, and is what you want to use when installing packages mixed from the private and public repositories. To use npm-delegate as your default, run:
npm config set registry http://cdnutu:1337/
npmjs is exposed on port 5984, and is read-write.
To operate directly with this registry, pass use npm's --registry argument:
npm --registry http://cdnutu:5984/ adduser
npm --registry http://cdnutu:5984/ publish
