norfolkjs / npmjs.us Goto Github PK

Hey @stanzheng, unpublish https://www.npmjs.org/package/npmjsus. I read it as "npm jesus" at first anyway.

This is the official npm module: https://www.npmjs.org/package/npmjs.us

This is relevant mostly for publishing. npmjs.us mirror already supports the full GET api. The PUT api is basically not supported at all; npm publishing to the npmjs.us mirror will fail. Some unit tests are in order here.

Most local mirrors are created for the purpose of reliability.

I see that you're creating a local mirror for the npm registry, but all requests for registry.npmjs.org from anywhere near Norfolk will hit the Ashland, VA, Fastly POP anyway, which is our shielding cache endpoint for the registry. It seems like any cause of an outage there will either (a) not affect you (if it partitions us-east from the world) or (b) affect npmjs.us just as badly as registry.npmjs.com.

Also, you're proxying all tarball requests to fullfatdb.npmjs.com, so you'll have strictly less reliability than by going through the Fastly endpoint. If your purpose was to colocate a registry in AWS's us-east datacenter to reduce cross-DC bandwidth, you're losing out here, because fullfatdb.npmjs.com is hosted on Joyent, and you're proxying all the bits through your nginx endpoint.

So... what are you trying to do? Maybe we can help :)

Still not sure if I want to use couchdb's access control. Probably. It needs the following:

• one database per group, one group per database
• many users per group
• one user can be in multiple groups I suppose
• groups cannot access other groups' stuff

The registry can be used during replication, but it will be slower. Current pace of data import suggests completion in about 60 hours.

nginx config is in the etc folder in this repo. Add location for <owner> to namespace private modules between users.

• I should be able to post the full nginx config for the private repo and not reveal any useful security info

They sure do.

with npm 1.3.0:
