This document describes simple steps to setup Verdaccio private registry on Amazon Web Services platform using EC2 service. This assumes you have already created an EC2 Amazon Linux instance; if not then please check this tutorial on [AWS EC2 Setup](https://www.howtoinmagento.com/2018/04/aws-cli-commands-for-aws-ec2-amazon.html).
**Step 3:** Install Node using Node Version Manager (nvm)
``` nvm install node ```
**Step 4:** Install Verdaccio & pm2, will require to run Verdaccio service in background
```yaml npm i -g verdaccio pm2 ```
**Step 5:** Set the verdaccio registry as a source. By default original NPM registry set.
``` npm set registry http://localhost:4873 ```
``` npm set ca null ```
**Step 6:** Run Verdaccio and stop it. It will create a config file we will use.
``` verdaccio ```
**Step 7:** Now do below configuration for listening to all addresses on that server machine / EC2 instance. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/conf/full.yaml)
Open and edit `config.yaml` file:
``` nano .config/verdaccio/config.yaml ```
Add below lines at the end. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/ff409ab7c05542a152100e3bc39cfadb36a8a080/conf/full.yaml#L113)
```yaml listen:
- 0.0.0.0:4873
```
Change below line so that only authenticated person can access our registry
``` Replace "access: $all" with "access: $authenticated" ```
There are some more parameters available to configure it. Like storage, proxy, default port change. [(read more)](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/ff409ab7c05542a152100e3bc39cfadb36a8a080/conf/full.yaml#L113)
**Step 8:** Run Verdaccio in background using PM2:
``` pm2 start verdaccio ```
**Step 9:** Now, You can access your Verdaccio web UI.
The URL will look like something:
``` http://ec2-..compute.amazonaws.com:4873 ```
{or}
``` http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873 (You can check your EC2 instance public ip from AWS console) ```
To confirm Verdaccio's running status, run the command below:
``` pm2 list ```
**Step 10:** Registering a user in verdaccio registry
``` npm set always-auth true ```
``` npm adduser ```
It will ask for username, password and valid email id to be entered. Make a note of this details that will use later to login in verdaccio registry to publish our library.
**Step 11:** Now we are ready to use our AWS server instance work as a private registry.
Login into verdaccio registry. Enter the same username, password and email id set in above Step.
``` npm set registry http://your-ec2-public-ip-address:4873 ```
``` npm login ```
**Step 12:** Go to your custom library package path. In my case this is my Angular 7 package path -> `/libraries/dist/your-library-name/your-library-name-0.0.1.tgz`

``` cd [custom library package path] ```
**Step 13:** Finally publish our library `your-library-name-0.0.1.tgz` on verdaccio registry
