Self hosting?

[loganvolkers]

Is there any support or desire for allowing people to self-host their own version of unpkg?

We're big fans of Unpkg but from a security and compliance perspective we'd like to host it ourselves. Seems useful for production applications, and also helps reduce your public CDN bill.

I tried just forking the repo and running it on Heroku, but I get a Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-dev-server' on startup.

Yes, this is in the works. The plan is to build and host a Docker image that people can use to run it on their own infrastructure.

[e-sathya]

My understanding is that once the Docker image is published , we should be able to run our own unpkg instance that can point to any private npm registry. We also believe there will be guidelines published to do the same. Please clarify.

Is there any update to self hosting and pointing to a corporate private repo (such as artifactory)?

[jonaskello]

I'm also interested in hosting for a private npm registry. I found express-unpkg which seems to do what I want but the code for that package seems gone.

[kentcdodds]

I don't know if this would be possible, but I'd love it if unpkg could be published as a module on npm that I could install and run similar to https://polyfill.io which publishes http://npm.im/polyfill-service :)

That way I could mount it into an existing express server (my thoughts right now are to have it running alongside my polyfill-service server at the moment).

Are there any steps to atleast set this up locally for a private npm registry? Any idea what happened with express-unpkg?

any progress with the self hosted version? we really want to use unpkg, but for now we are not able to use our own instance

[KevinSheedy]

I've published a Self Hosted version of unpkg to npm as unpkg-server here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/unpkg-server

I'm using it against a private npm registry (Nexus) in my own organisation.
In summary, you can run:

npm i unpkg-server

node node_modules/unpkg-server/server.js \
  --NPM_REGISTRY_URL=https://private-npm-registry.example.org \
  --PORT=8081

Here's the PR back to the unpkg repo:
#216

@KevinSheedy thanks a lot. Do you have any plans to make it a little bit more independent from the infrastructure used by unpkg (google cloud services and cloudflare) maybe make it available as generic docker image?

There's no dependency on Google Cloud Services and Cloudflare, see flag ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE which defaults to false. The only dependency is on nodejs. I've tested it on MacOS and Windows.

This means there is no cdn/caching by default.

[timomayer]

thanks for clarification :) last question, is your version open-source on github?

[KevinSheedy]

Yes, it's linked in the PR back to the main repo:
https://github.com/KevinSheedy/unpkg-server

It's the minimum changeset I needed to get it running in my own organisation. I'm hoping that my PR or something similar will be adopted back into the main project, negating the need for my fork.

[LBWright]

Any word on this solution?

[mjackson]

I'm not interested in including this functionality for now. Please feel free to fork away if you'd like to host it yourself. This whole codebase is going to be converted to use Cloudflare workers sometime soon, so the Express app will likely be disappearing.
