The minimum supported NPM version is 5.
Setting up global registry for all projects
To set the registry for all your local projects in any terminal window run:
npm set registry http://localhost:4873/
This will set the registry for your operational system user and you can find it on the file ~/.npmrc
.
Using registry for a specific project
To set this value for a specific project open its root folder on a terminal window and run:
npm set registry http://localhost:4873/ --location project
This will set the registry in a .npmrc
file in your project root directory.
or by specific scope eg: @my-scope/auth
:
npm config set @my-scope:registry http://localhost:4873
Using registry only on specific command
If you want one single use append --registry http://localhost:4873/
to the required command.
Some examples:
npm ci --registry http://localhost:4873
npm install --registry http://localhost:4873
npm install lodash --registry http://localhost:4873
How to prevent your package from being published in other registries
If you only want to publish your package to Verdaccio but keep installing from other registries you can setup the publishConfig
in your package.json
as described in the official documentation.
{
"publishConfig": {
"registry": "http://localhost:4873"
}
}
Creating user
With npm 8 or below, either adduser
or login
are able to create users and login at the same time.
npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873
after version npm@9
the commands works separately:
login
does not create users.
npm login --registry http://localhost:4873
adduser
does not login users.
npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873
Both commands relies on web login by default, but adding --auth-type=legacy
you can get back the previous behaviour.
Troubleshooting
npm login
with npm@9 or higher
If you are running into issues login with npm@9.x
or higher you could try use the legacy mode (see above).
For progress on the native support on future you can track the following issue#3413.
npm does not save authToken when authenticating to Verdaccio
If you are using either npm@5.4.x
or npm@5.5.x
, there are known issues with tokens, please upgrade to either 6.x
or downgrade to npm@5.3.0
.
SSL and certificates
When using Verdaccio under SSL without a valid certificate, defining strict-ssl
in your config file is required otherwise you will get SSL Error: SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN
errors.
npm
does not support invalid certificates anymore since 2014.
npm config set ca ""
npm config set strict-ssl false
Mixed registries in lockefile (npm v7+)
Since version 7 npm got more strict with the introduction of lockfileVersion: 2
. If you have mixed resolved
fields in your lockfile, for instance, having this in your lockfile:
{
"name": "npm7",
"version": "1.0.0",
"lockfileVersion": 2,
"requires": true,
"packages": {
"": {
"version": "1.0.0",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"lodash": "4.17.20",
"underscore": "^1.11.0"
}
},
..... // removed for simplicity
},
"dependencies": {
"lodash": {
"version": "4.17.20",
"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash/-/lodash-4.17.20.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-PlhdFcillOINfeV7Ni6oF1TAEayyZBoZ8bcshTHqOYJYlrqzRK5hagpagky5o4HfCzzd1TRkXPMFq6cKk9rGmA=="
},
"underscore": {
"version": "1.11.0",
"resolved": "http://localhost:4873/underscore/-/underscore-1.11.0.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-xY96SsN3NA461qIRKZ/+qox37YXPtSBswMGfiNptr+wrt6ds4HaMw23TP612fEyGekRE6LNRiLYr/aqbHXNedw=="
}
}
}
Either running npm i --registry https://registry.npmjs.org
or using .npmrc
will fail your installation.
