cnpmjs.org

What is this?

Private npm registry and web for Enterprise, base on koa, MySQL and Simple Store Service.

Our goal is to provide a low cost maintenance and easy to use solution for private npm.

What can you do with `cnpmjs.org`

Build a private npm for your own enterprise. (alibaba is using cnpmjs.org now)
Build a mirror NPM. (we use it to build a mirror in China: cnpmjs.org)
Build a completely independent NPM registry to store whatever you like.

Features

Support "scoped" packages: npm/npm#5239
Support CORS
Simple to deploy: only need mysql and a simple store system. You can get the source code through npm or git.
Low cost and easy maintenance: package.json info store in MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite or PostgreSQL databases, tarball(tgz file) store in CDN or other store systems.
Automatic synchronization: automatic synchronization from any registry specified, support two sync modes:
- Sync all modules from a specified registry, like npm registry.
- Only sync the modules that exists in your own registry.
Manual synchronization: automatic synchronization may has little delay, but you can syn immediately by manually.
Customized client: we provide a client cnpm to extend npm with more features(sync command, gzip support). And it easy to wrap for your own registry which build with cnpmjs.org.
Compatible with NPM client: you can use the origin NPM client with cnpmjs.org, only need to change the registry in config. Even include manual synchronization (through install command).
Version badge: base on shields.io
Support http_proxy: if you're behind firewall, need to request through http proxy

PROTIP Be sure to read Migrating from 1.x to 2.x as well as New features in 2.x.

Dockerized cnpmjs.org Installation Guide

Cnpmjs.org shipped with a simple but pragmatic Docker Compose configuration.With the configuration, you can set up a MySQL backed cnpmjs.org instance by executing just one command on Docker installed environment.

Preparation

Install Docker
Install Docker Compose (Docker for Mac, Docker for Windows include Docker Compose, so most Mac and Windows users do not need to install Docker Compose separately)
(Optional) Speed up Docker images downloading by setting up Docker images download accelerator

Dockerized cnpmjs.org control command

Make sure your current working directory is the root of this GitHub repository.

Run dockerized cnpmjs.org

 $docker-compose up

This command will build a Docker image using the current code of repository. Then set up a dockerized MySQL instance with data initialized. After Docker container running, you can access your cnpmjs.org web portal at http://127.0.0.1:7002 and npm register at http://127.0.0.1:7001.

Run cnpmjs.org in the backend

$docker-compose up -d

Rebuild cnpmjs.org Docker image

$docker-compose build

Remove current dockerized cnpmjs.org instance

The current configuration set 2 named Docker Volume for your persistent data. If you haven't change the repository directory name, them will be "cnpmjsorg_cnpm-files-volume" & "cnpmjsorg_cnpm-db-volume".

Be Careful, the following commands will remove them.

$docker-compose rm 
$docker volume rm cnpmjsorg_cnpm-files-volume
$docker volume rm cnpmjsorg_cnpm-db-volume

You can get more information about your data volumes using the below commands:

$docker volume ls  // list all of your Docker volume
$docker volume inspect cnpmjsorg_cnpm-files-volume
$docker volume inspect cnpmjsorg_cnpm-db-volume
