npm-proxy v0.0.5

A proxy server for npm to publish packages to a child/private registry and install packages from a child or parent/public registry (if the child doesn't have the package).

Install

Local

1. Run (force install because http-proxy doesn't support node 0.6.x):

   npm install npm-proxy --force

2. Run locally:

   ./bin/npm-proxy --child-registry-target http://mysecret.npmjs.org:5984

As a couchdb os process deamon on the child npm registry:

1. Install npm-proxy globally

   sudo npm install -g npm-proxy --force

2. Add the following line to the os_daemons section of /etc/couchdb/local.ini on the child npm registry:

   npm_proxy = /usr/bin/npm-proxy --child-registry-target http://mysecret.npmjs.org:5984

3. Restart couchdb and make sure npm-proxy started with it

Usage

  -V, --version                                         output the version number
  -t, --target [localhost:8080]                         hostname and port to listen on
