chef-npm-registry

The npm_registry cookbook installs and configures an NPM package registry using the official NPM project layout. Includes support for replicating the official isaacs NPM registry (continuously or scheduled).

If you are installing this locally (such as with Vagrant), it is recommended you set the following attributes:

• node['couch_db']['httpd']['bind_address'] = '0.0.0.0'
• node['couch_db']['httpd']['secure_rewrites'] = false

This cookbook also makes use of the couch_db attributes:

• node['couch_db']['config']['couchdb']['httpsd']
• node['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['port']
• node['couch_db']['config']['couchdb']['database_dir']

Requirements
