Prebuilt images

To pull the latest pre-built docker image:

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio

Tagged Versions

Since version v2.x you can pull docker images by tag, as follows:

For a major version:

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:2

For a minor version:

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:2.1

For a specific (patch) version:

docker pull verdaccio/verdaccio:2.1.7

Running verdaccio using Docker

To run the docker container:

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

The last argument defines which image to use. The above line will pull the latest prebuilt image from dockerhub, if you haven't done that already.

If you have build an image locally use verdaccio as the last argument.

You can use -v to mount conf and storage to the hosts filesystem:

V_PATH=/path/for/verdaccio; docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio -p 4873:4873 \
  -v $V_PATH/conf:/verdaccio/conf \
  -v $V_PATH/storage:/verdaccio/storage \
  verdaccio/verdaccio

Docker and custom port configuration

Any host:port configured in conf/config.yaml under listen is currently ignored when using docker.

If you want to reach verdaccio docker instance under different port, lets say 5000 in your docker run command replace -p 4873:4873 with -p 5000:4873.

In case you need to specify which port to listen to in the docker container, since version 2.?.? you can do so by providing additional arguments to docker run: --env PORT=5000 This changes which port the docker container exposes and the port verdaccio listens to.

Of course the numbers you give to -p paremeter need to match, so assuming you want them to all be the same this is what you could copy, paste and adopt:

PORT=5000; docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio \ 
  --env PORT -p $PORT:$PORT
  verdaccio/verdaccio

Using HTTPS with Docker

You can configure the protocol verdaccio is going to listen on, similarly to the port configuration. You have to overwrite the default value("http") of the PROTOCOL environment variable to "https", after you specified the certificates in the config.yaml.

PROTOCOL=https; docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio \ 
  --env PROTOCOL -p 4873:4873
  verdaccio/verdaccio

Using docker-compose

1. Get the latest version of docker-compose.
2. Build and run the container:

$ docker-compose up --build

You can set the port to use (for both container and host) by prefixing the above command with PORT=5000 .

Docker will generate a named volume in which to store persistent application data. You can use docker inspect or docker volume inspect to reveal the physical location of the volume and edit the configuration, such as:

$ docker volume inspect verdaccio_verdaccio
[
    {
        "Name": "verdaccio_verdaccio",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/verdaccio_verdaccio/_data",
        "Labels": null,
        "Scope": "local"
    }
]

Build your own Docker image

docker build -t verdaccio .

There is also an npm script for building the docker image, so you can also do:

npm run build:docker

Note: The first build takes some minutes to build because it needs to run npm install, and it will take that long again whenever you change any file that is not listed in .dockerignore.

If you want to use the docker image on a rpi or a compatible device there is also a dockerfile available. To build the docker image for raspberry pi execute:

npm run build:docker:rpi

Please note that for any of the above docker commands you need to have docker installed on your machine and the docker executable should be available on your $PATH.

Docker Examples

There is a separate repository that hosts multiple configurations to compose Docker images with verdaccio, for instance, as reverse proxy:
