plugins Plugins

Verdaccio is a pluggable application. It can be extended in many ways, either new authentication methods, adding endpoints or using a custom storage.

There are 5 types of plugins:

Usage

Installation

$> npm install --global verdaccio-activedirectory

verdaccio as a sinopia fork it has backward compatibility with plugins that are compatible with sinopia@1.4.0. In such case the installation is the same.

$> npm install --global sinopia-memory

Configuration

Open the config.yaml file and update the auth section as follows:

The default configuration looks like this, due we use a build-in htpasswd plugin by default that you can disable just commenting out the following lines.

Naming convention

Since version 2.0.0 until version plugins must start with the following convention:

  • sinopia-xxx (deprecated and will be removed on 6.x.x)
  • verdaccio-xxx

After version 5.12.0 scoped plugins are supported, for example:

auth:
  '@my-org/auth-awesome-plugin':
    foo: some value
    bar: another value
store:
  '@my-org/store-awesome-plugin':
    foo: some value
    bar: another value
middleware:
  '@my-org/middleware-awesome-plugin':
    foo: some value
    bar: another value

Authentication Configuration

auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: ./htpasswd
    # max_users: 1000

and replacing them with (in case you decide to use a ldap plugin.

auth:
  activedirectory:
    url: 'ldap://10.0.100.1'
    baseDN: 'dc=sample,dc=local'
    domainSuffix: 'sample.local'

Multiple Authentication plugins

This is technically possible, making the plugin order important, as the credentials will be resolved in order.

auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: ./htpasswd
    #max_users: 1000
  activedirectory:
    url: 'ldap://10.0.100.1'
    baseDN: 'dc=sample,dc=local'
    domainSuffix: 'sample.local'

Middleware Configuration

Example how to set up a middleware plugin. All middleware plugins must be defined in the middlewares namespace.

middlewares:
  audit:
    enabled: true

You might follow the audit middle plugin as base example.

Storage Configuration

:::caution

If the store property is defined in the config.yaml file, the storage property is being ignored.

:::caution

Example how to set up a storage plugin. All storage plugins must be defined in the store namespace.

store:
  memory:
    limit: 1000

Theme Configuration

npm install --global verdaccio-theme-dark

You can load only one theme at a time and pass through options if you need it.

theme:
  dark:
    option1: foo
    option2: bar

Legacy plugins

Sinopia Plugins

:::caution

Plugins from sinopia era are deprecated but still available in verdaccio@5.x versions but already removed from next 6.x versions, consider migrate them or stop using them for future updates.

:::caution

If you are relying on any sinopia plugin, remember are deprecated and might no work in the future.
