Version 6 (Development branch)


Looking for Verdaccio 5 version? Check the branch 5.x

The plugins for the v5.x that are hosted within this organization are located

at the [verdaccio/monorepo](https://github.com/verdaccio/monorepo) repository, while for the v6.x

are hosted on this project ./packages/plugins, keep on mind v6.x plugins will eventually would be

incompatible with v5.x versions.

Note that contributing guidelines might be different based on the branch.


Verdaccio is a simple,zero-config-required local private npm registry.
No need for an entire database just to get started! Verdaccio comes out of the box with
its own tiny database, and the ability to proxy other registries (eg. npmjs.org),
caching the downloaded modules along the way.
For those looking to extend their storage capabilities, Verdaccio
supports various community-made plugins to hook into services such as Amazon's s3,
Google Cloud Storage or create your own plugin.

What does Verdaccio do for me?


Use private packages


If you want to use all benefits of npm package system in your company without sending all code to the public, and use your private packages just as easy as public ones.

Cache npmjs.org registry


If you have more than one server you want to install packages on, you might want to use this to decrease latency
(presumably "slow" npmjs.org will be connected to only once per package/version) and provide limited failover (if npmjs.org is down, we might still find something useful in the cache) or avoid issues like _How one developer just broke Node, Babel and thousands of projects in 11 lines of JavaScript_, _Many packages suddenly disappeared_ or _Registry returns 404 for a package I have installed before_.

Link multiple registries


If you use multiples registries in your organization and need to fetch packages from multiple sources in one single project you might take advance of the uplinks feature with Verdaccio, chaining multiple registries and fetching from one single endpoint.

Override public packages


If you want to use a modified version of some 3rd-party package (for example, you found a bug, but maintainer didn't accept pull request yet), you can publish your version locally under the same name. See in detail here.

E2E Testing


Verdaccio has proved to be a lightweight registry that can be
booted in a couple of seconds, fast enough for any CI. Many open source projects use verdaccio for end to end testing, to mention some examples, create-react-app, mozilla neutrino, pnpm, storybook, babel.js, angular-cli or docusaurus. You can read more in here.

Furthermore, here few examples how to start:

Get Started


Run in your terminal

  1. ``` sh
  2. verdaccio
  3. ```

You would need set some npm configuration, this is optional.

  1. ``` sh
  2. npm set registry http://localhost:4873/
  3. ```

For one-off commands or to avoid setting the registry globally:

  1. ``` sh
  2. NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY=http://localhost:4873 npm i
  3. ```

Now you can navigate to http://localhost:4873/ where your local packages will be listed and can be searched.

Warning: Verdaccio does not currently support PM2's cluster mode, running it with cluster mode may cause unknown behavior.


Publishing


1. create a user and log in


  1. ``` sh
  2. npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873
  3. ```

if you use HTTPS, add an appropriate CA information ("null" means get CA list from OS)


  1. ``` sh
  2. npm set ca null
  3. ```

2. publish your package


  1. ``` sh
  2. npm publish --registry http://localhost:4873
  3. ```

This will prompt you for user credentials which will be saved on the verdaccio server.

Docker


Below are the most commonly needed information,
every aspect of Docker and verdaccio is documented separately

  1. ```
  2. docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:nightly-master
  3. ```

Available as tags.

Running verdaccio using Docker


To run the docker container:

  1. ``` sh
  2. docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio -p 4873:4873 verdaccio/verdaccio
  3. ```

Docker examples are available in this repository.
