Verdaccio stands for peace, stop the war, we will be yellow / blue 🇺🇦 until that happens.

Looking for Verdaccio version 5 or 6? Version 6 is the latest version and successor to version 5. Version 6 requires Node.js 18 or higher and is maintained in the 6.x branch.

The plugins for versions 5 and 6 are located at the verdaccio/monorepo repository. Plugins for the next-8 version are hosted in this project under the ./packages/plugins folder.

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.

You can find more details about the different versions of Verdaccio, minimum requirements, as well as links to associated npm packages and docker images in the version history.

Node.js v18 as minimum version required

Install with npm:

npm install -g verdaccio@next-8

With yarn

yarn global add verdaccio@next-8

With pnpm

pnpm i -g verdaccio@next-8

or

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:nightly-master

or with helm official chart.

helm repo add verdaccio https://charts.verdaccio.org
helm repo update
helm install verdaccio/verdaccio

Furthermore, you can read the Debugging Guidelines and the Docker Examples for more advanced development.

You can develop your own plugins with the verdaccio generator. Installing Yeoman is required.

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-verdaccio-plugin

In our compatibility testing project, we're dedicated to ensuring that your favorite commands work seamlessly across different versions of npm, pnpm, and Yarn. From publishing packages to managing dependencies. Our goal is to give you the confidence to use your preferred package manager without any issues. So dive in, check out our matrix, and see how your commands fare across the board!

notes:

• yarn search cmd exist in modern but, it do not uses the search registry endpoint.
• yarn modern has two info commands, the one used here is yarn npm info

Verdaccio is run by volunteers; nobody is working full-time on it. If you find this project to be useful and would like to support its development, consider doing a long support donation - and your logo will be on this section of the readme.

Donate 💵👍🏻 starting from $1/month or just one single contribution.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Run in your terminal

verdaccio

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

npm set registry http://localhost:4873/

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

NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY=http://localhost:4873 npm i

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.

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

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

npm set ca null

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

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

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

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:nightly-master

Available as tags.

To run the docker container:

docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio -p 4873:4873 verdaccio/verdaccio

Docker examples are available in this repository.
