registry-sync

registry-sync

Synchronizes selected packages and their transitive dependencies from a remote NPM registry (such as https://registry.npmjs.org) to a local folder. The local copy can then be used as a simple private NPM registry without publishing capabilities.

Inspired by https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-mirror, which unfortunately seems to be in hibernation and not compatible with the current registry.npmjs.org

Installation

npm install -g npm-mirror

Usage

Usage: bin/sync [options]

Options:

-h, --help           output usage information
-V, --version        output the version number
--root <path>        Path to save NPM package tarballs and metadata to
--manifest <file>    Path to a package.json file to use as catalog for mirrored NPM packages. Their transitive (production) dependencies are mirrored as well.
--localUrl <url>     URL to use as root in stored package metadata (i.e. where folder defined as --root will be exposed at)
--registryUrl [url]  URL to use as NPM registry when fetching packages (defaults to https://registry.npmjs.org)

Usage: bin/serve [options]

Options:

-h, --help       output usage information
-V, --version    output the version number
--root <path>    Path to serve NPM packages from
--port [number]  Local HTTP port to bind the server to (defaults to 3000)

Using a proper web server instead of bin/serve (recommended)

Configure your web server to use index.json as index file name instead of index.html.
