### A lightweight private npm proxy registry
`verdaccio` is a fork of `sinopia`. It aims to keep backwards compatibility with `sinopia`, while keeping up with npm changes.

It allows you to have a **local npm private registry with zero configuration**. You don't have to install and replicate an entire database. Verdaccio keeps its own small database and, if a package doesn't exist there, **it asks any other registry** (npmjs.org) for it keeping only those packages you use.

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.

## Future releases
If you are an adventurous developer you can use and install the latest versions available, remember it's a non stable version and I'd recommend only use for testing purporses.
#### Alpha
Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss and may not contain all of the features that are planned for the final version.
⚠️⚠️ **Please, help us to test the version 3.x in order to release a stable version soon. Do never test with your original storage folder, do always a backup** ⚠️⚠️
Using `npm` or `yarn`
If you are an adventurous developer you can use and install the latest beta version, this is a non stable version, I'd recommend only use for testing purporses.
```bash
npm install -g verdaccio@alpha

Docker `alpha` image is also available.
or using docker
```bash
$ docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio -p 4873:4873 verdaccio/verdaccio:alpha

#### Beta
At this point the development is done but there are possibilities that it could contain some bugs and performance issues
```bash
npm install -g verdaccio@beta

Docker `beta` image is also available.

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

## Server Side Configuration
When you start a server, it auto-creates a config file. For instructions on how to run Verdaccio as a service, with a nice URL or behind a proxy have a look at the [server-side configure document](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/docs/server.md).

## Compatibility
Verdaccio aims to support all features of a standard npm client that make sense to support in private repository. Unfortunately, it isn't always possible.

## Storage
No CouchDB here. **This application is supposed to work with zero configuration**, so filesystem is used as a storage.
If you want to use a database instead, ask for it, we'll come up with some kind of a plugin system.
About the storage there is a running discussion [here](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Astorage).
## Similar existing things
- npm + git (I mean, using git+ssh:// dependencies) - most people seem to use this, but it's a terrible idea... *npm update* doesn't work, can't use git subdirectories this way, etc.
- [reggie](https://github.com/mbrevoort/node-reggie) - this looks very interesting indeed... I might borrow some code there.
- [shadow-npm](https://github.com/dominictarr/shadow-npm), [public service](http://shadow-npm.net/) - it uses the same code as npmjs.org + service is dead
- [gemfury](http://www.gemfury.com/l/npm-registry) and others - those are closed-source cloud services, and I'm not in a mood to trust my private code to somebody (security through obscurity yeah!)
- npm-registry-proxy, npm-delegate, npm-proxy - those are just proxies...
