This document describes simple steps to setup Verdaccio private registry on Amazon Web Services platform using EC2 service. This assumes you have already created an EC2 Amazon Linux instance; if not then please check this tutorial on [AWS EC2 Setup](https://www.howtoinmagento.com/2018/04/aws-cli-commands-for-aws-ec2-amazon.html).

## Setup & Configuration {#setup--configuration}

**Step 1:** Open SSH & Login in using your EC2 key.

**Step 2:** Install Node Version Manager (nvm) first, close and re-open the SSH using your EC2 key.

`sudo apt update`

`wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash`

`exit`

**Step 3:** Install Node using Node Version Manager (nvm)

`nvm install node`

**Step 4:** Install Verdaccio & pm2, will require to run Verdaccio service in background

`npm i -g verdaccio pm2`

**Step 5:** Set the verdaccio registry as a source. By default original NPM registry set.

`npm set registry http://localhost:4873`

`npm set ca null`

**Step 6:** Run Verdaccio and stop it (ctrl+c). It will create a config file we will use.

`verdaccio`

**Step 7:** Now do below configuration for listening to all addresses on that server machine / EC2 instance. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/conf/full.yaml)

Open and edit `config.yaml` file:

` nano .config/verdaccio/config.yaml` or ` nano ~/verdaccio/config.yaml`

Add below lines at the end. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/ff409ab7c05542a152100e3bc39cfadb36a8a080/conf/full.yaml#L113)

```
listen:
 - 0.0.0.0:4873
```

Change below line so that only authenticated person can access our registry

`Replace "access: $all" with "access: $authenticated"`

(Optional) Change below line according to how many users you wish to grant access to the scoped registry

`Replace "#max_users: 1000" with "max_users: 1"`

There are some more parameters available to configure it. Like storage, proxy, default port change. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/ff409ab7c05542a152100e3bc39cfadb36a8a080/conf/full.yaml#L113)

**Step 8:** Run Verdaccio in background using PM2:

`pm2 start verdaccio`

**Step 9:** Now, You can access your Verdaccio web UI.

The URL will look like something:

`http://ec2-..compute.amazonaws.com:4873`

{or}

`http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873 (You can check your EC2 instance public ip from AWS console)`

To confirm Verdaccio's running status, run the command below:

` pm2 list`

To make Verdaccio launch on startup, run the commands below:

`pm2 stop verdaccio`

`pm2 delete verdaccio`

`pm2 startup` This will show a command in your terminal. Copy / paste it and execute it to have pm2 make a startup service for you.

`which verdaccio` Copy the path shown by this command.

`pm2 start /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v17.1.0/bin/verdaccio` (put the path you copied from command above).

`pm2 status` This should show "online" on the status of verdaccio service.

`pm2 save` Now when you reboot the EC2 instance, it should launch verdaccio.

**Step 10:** Registering a user in verdaccio registry

` npm adduser`

It will ask for username, password and valid email id to be entered. Make a note of this details that will use later to login in verdaccio registry to publish our library.

**Step 11:** Now we are ready to use our AWS server instance work as a private registry.

Login into verdaccio registry. Enter the same username, password and email id set in above Step.

` npm set registry http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873`

` npm login`

**Step 12:** Go to your custom library package path. In my case this is my Angular 7 package path -> `/libraries/dist/your-library-name/your-library-name-0.0.1.tgz`

If you like to know how to create angular 7 library/package then [(click here)](https://www.howtoinmagento.com/2019/11/how-to-create-your-first-angular-7.html)

` cd [custom library package path]`

**Step 13:** Finally publish our library `your-library-name-0.0.1.tgz` on verdaccio registry

` [custom library package path] >> npm publish your-library-name-0.0.1.tgz`

{or}

` [custom library package path] >> npm publish`

{or}

` [custom library package path] >> npm publish --registry http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873`

Now browse ` http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873` and you will see new library package there.
