title: "Installing As a Windows Service"

Loosely based upon the instructions found [here](http://asysadmin.tumblr.com/post/32941224574/running-nginx-on-windows-as-a-service). I crafted the following and it provided me with a fully working verdaccio service installation:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory for verdaccio
|
|
* mkdir `c:\verdaccio`
|
|
* cd `c:\verdaccio`
|
|
2. Install verdaccio locally (I ran into npm issues with global installs)
|
|
* npm install verdaccio
|
|
3. Create your `config.yaml` file in this location `(c:\verdaccio\config.yaml)`
|
|
4. Windows Service Setup
|
|
|
|
## Using NSSM
|
|
|
|
ALTERNATIVE METHOD: (WinSW package was missing when I tried to download it)
|
|
|
|
* Download [NSSM](https://www.nssm.cc/download/) and extract
|
|
|
|
* Add the path that contains nssm.exe to the PATH
|
|
|
|
* Open an administrative command
|
|
|
|
* Run nssm install verdaccio At a minimum you must fill in the Application tab Path,
|
|
Startup directory and Arguments fields. Assuming an install with node in the system path and a
|
|
location of c:\verdaccio the below values will work:
|
|
* Path: `node`
|
|
* Startup directory: `c:\verdaccio`
|
|
* Arguments: `c:\verdaccio\node_modules\verdaccio\src\lib\cli.js -c c:\verdaccio\config.yaml`
|
|
|
|
You can adjust other service settings under other tabs as desired. When you are done, click Install service button
|
|
|
|
* Start the service sc start verdaccio
|
|
|
|
## Using WinSW
|
|
|
|
* As of 2015-10-27, WinSW is no longer available at the below location. Please follow the Using NSSM instructions above.
|
|
* Download [WinSW](http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/releases/com/sun/winsw/winsw/)
|
|
* Place the executable (e.g. `winsw-1.9-bin.exe`) into this folder (`c:\verdaccio`) and rename it to `verdaccio-winsw.exe`
|
|
* Create a configuration file in `c:\verdaccio`, named `verdaccio-winsw.xml`
|
|
with the following configuration `xml verdaccio verdaccio verdaccio node c:\verdaccio\node_modules\verdaccio\src\lib\cli.js -c c:\verdaccio\config.yaml roll c:\verdaccio\ `.
|
|
* Install your service
|
|
* `cd c:\verdaccio`
|
|
* `verdaccio-winsw.exe install`
|
|
* Start your service
|
|
* `verdaccio-winsw.exe start`
|
|
|
|
Some of the above config is more verbose than I had expected, it appears as though 'workingdirectory'
|
|
is ignored, but other than that, this works for me and allows my verdaccio instance to
|
|
persist between restarts of the server, and also restart itself should there be any crashes of the verdaccio process.
