np-solo

This is a simple private npm registry. No service dependencies. User registration will be through a config file and now command line. It was designed to work as a scoped private registry so it will not cache public npm service.

To install execute

npm install np-solo -g

To start the registry execute in the directory of your configuration (npsolo.json) file. All paths will be relative to this location.

np-solo.json will store all of your configuration settings. Below is a description of the possible settings.

{
  // Which port for the server to bind
  port: 9000,
  // A specifc hostname or ip address to bind
  hostname: undefined,
  // The maximum allowed size of the request body 
  maxRequestSize: '1mb',
  // Allow unauthenticated users, this can also be an object that will have specify 
  // options for read or write.
  // { read: true, write: false }
  allowAnonymous: false,
  // Specifies if there should be a prefix in the express routes.
  // Helpful for reverse proxy instances. It should not end in / unless you know why.
  // ie /npm
  urlPrefix: '',
  // Configure how the registry will store the json and tar files. This can be a plain object
  // that will require default providers (currently only local is supported). You can also require your
  // own class that confirms to the storage contract for specific implementations.
  storageProvider: {
		type: 'local',
		options: {
			dir: './storage'
		}
	},
	// Configure how the registry will authenticate users. Users will typically be stored in the config file.
	authProvider: {
		type: 'simple',
		options: {
			// Which hash algorithm to use when authenticating users. [See Node Docs](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm)
			hashAlgorithm: 'sha512',
			users: {}
		}
	}
}
