How to run your own npm repository server

Original – Oct 29th 2015 by Freek Van der Herten – 1 minute read

At Spatie we're constantly improving our application template called Blender. We love using packages to pull in functionality. Creating and using packages has many benefits. Though we try to create public packages that benefit the community, there are some packages that are very specific to Blender. Public repositories such as Packagist and npm are not intended for registering such custom packages.

To serve private php packages you can set up your own private packagist with Satis. A while ago my colleague Sebastian set up the Satis equivalent for the npm world. It's called Sinopia and it's easy to install. Our installation is running at npm.spatie.be. Using this we can now pull in our custom javascript packages.

Interested using Sinopia yourself? Here's a good tutorial to get started.

Stay up to date with all things Laravel, PHP, and JavaScript.

You can follow me on these platforms:

On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
