ssl	Set up the SSL Certificates

Follow these instructions to configure an SSL certificate to serve an npm registry over HTTPS.

• Update the listen property in your ~/.config/verdaccio/config.yaml:

listen: 'https://your.domain.com/'

Once you've updated the listen property and try to run verdaccio again, it will ask for certificates.

• Generate your certificates

 $ openssl genrsa -out /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-key.pem 2048
 $ openssl req -new -sha256 -key /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-key.pem -out /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-csr.pem
 $ openssl x509 -req -in /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-csr.pem -signkey /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-key.pem -out /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-cert.pem

• Edit your config file /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/config.yaml and add the following section:

https:
    key: /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-key.pem
    cert: /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-cert.pem
    ca: /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/verdaccio-csr.pem

Alternatively, if you have a certificate with the server.pfx format, you can add the following configuration section: (The passphrase is optional and only needed if your certificate is encrypted.)

https:
  pfx: /Users/user/.config/verdaccio/server.pfx
  passphrase: 'secret'

You can find more info on the key, cert, ca, pfx, and passphrase arguments in the Node documentation

• Run verdaccio in your command line.

• Open the browser and visit https://your.domain.com:port/

These instructions are mostly valid under OSX and Linux; on Windows the paths will vary, but the steps are the same.

Docker

If you are using the Docker image, you have to set the VERDACCIO_PROTOCOL environment variable to https, as the listen argument is provided in the Dockerfile and thus ignored from your config file.

You can also set the VERDACCIO_PORT environment variable if you are using a port other than 4873.
