Verdaccio Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Verdaccio on xCloud and get Verdaccio hosting for a private npm registry on infrastructure you control, instead of publishing private packages to a shared or third-party registry. xCloud runs the pinned official image, creates a registry owner from the username and password you set, mounts persistent storage for packages and authentication data, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes.

  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is Verdaccio?

Verdaccio is a simple, zero-configuration-required local private npm registry. A self-hosted Verdaccio needs no full database, since it comes with its own tiny database, and can proxy other registries such as npmjs.org while caching downloaded modules, so a company can use private packages as easily as public ones without exposing its code. Upstream notes community plugins for Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. It is licensed under the MIT licence.

On xCloud the install runs Verdaccio 6.10.3 from the official image, pinned by digest, as one container. The verdaccio_storage volume holds package tarballs, metadata, the cache and the htpasswd authentication database. The template defines a local @xcloud/* scope that requires authentication and never falls through to npmjs, creates the registry owner at install and disables further self-registration.

From Sign-Up to a Live Private Registry In Just 3 Easy Steps

Standing up a private npm registry normally means a container, an owner account, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before a single package is published. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Verdaccio from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Registry Owner Username and Password — or leave the password blank for xCloud to generate one securely.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Verdaccio 6.10.3 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the verdaccio_storage volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain, with the registry owner created during installation.

  3. Step 03

    Log In And Publish

    Copy the init-once owner credentials from the protected result, run npm login --registry=https://YOUR_DOMAIN, and publish a package under @xcloud/* to confirm the workflow.

Everything Verdaccio Does, On Your Own Server

Verdaccio runs in full here — authenticated publishing, a private scope, npmjs proxying and persistent storage, on infrastructure you control.

  • Private Package Scope

    Host private npm packages under the template's local @xcloud/* scope, instead of publishing internal code to a shared registry.

  • Authenticated Publishing Only

    Every publish requires an authenticated npm login — there is no anonymous publish path on this template.

  • npmjs Proxying And Caching

    Public dependencies proxy and cache through npmjs, without sending private-scope package lookups upstream.

  • One Init-Once Owner Account

    The registry owner is created during installation and further self-registration is disabled, keeping the registry closed by default.

  • Standard npm CLI Workflow

    Point npm login and npm publish at your domain and work exactly as you would against any other registry.

  • Persistent Packages And Auth Data

    Package tarballs, metadata, cache and the htpasswd authentication database persist on their own volume across restarts.

Everything You Need To Run Your Private Registry 24/7

Managed hosting for Verdaccio, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

What You Can Do With Verdaccio

  • Publish internal packages privately

    Host private npm packages under the template's local @xcloud/* scope, instead of publishing internal code to a shared registry.

  • Require login for every publish

    Every publish requires an authenticated npm login, with no anonymous publish path on this template.

  • Cache public dependencies

    Proxy and cache public dependencies through npmjs, without sending private-scope package lookups upstream.

  • Use the npm tools you already know

    Point npm login and npm publish at your domain and work as you would against any other registry.

Verdaccio vs Alternatives

npm private packages
npm private packages live on the hosted public npm registry. As an alternative, Verdaccio keeps private packages on your own server, with an owner login and a proxy to the public registry.
Gitea
In a Verdaccio vs Gitea comparison, Gitea has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a self-hosted Git service with a package registry, where Verdaccio is a dedicated npm registry.
Forgejo
Forgejo has its own OneClick page. It is another self-hosted Git forge on xCloud; Verdaccio focuses only on npm packages and proxying npmjs.
GitLab
GitLab has its own OneClick page. Its page describes a self-hosted DevOps platform with Git repositories, CI/CD and a package registry, where Verdaccio is a single-purpose npm registry.

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo Villa
Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host Verdaccio with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Verdaccio Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream publishes an official Docker image; here xCloud runs the pinned verdaccio/verdaccio 6.10.3 image as one container, mounts verdaccio_storage and publishes HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Verdaccio need?

The template asks for 1 GiB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GiB of disk as a floor. Package count, tarball size, request concurrency and cache growth set the practical limits, so the 6 GB plan is the entry rung.

Can anonymous users publish packages to Verdaccio?

No. This template requires authentication for publishing, so there is no anonymous publish path, and self-registration is disabled after the owner is created. Only people you give the owner credentials to can publish, so share them sparingly and rotate them if someone leaves.

Will private package names be requested from npmjs?

No. Packages under the configured @xcloud/* scope stay local and do not fall through to the npmjs uplink, so internal names are not sent upstream. Unscoped and other public packages do proxy through npmjs, so keep private code inside the local scope.

How do I log in and publish to Verdaccio?

Copy the owner credentials from the protected result and run npm login with your domain as the registry, then npm publish for a package under @xcloud/*. Install it again with npm install and the same registry option.

How do I rotate the Verdaccio owner password?

Use Verdaccio and npm's supported password-change workflow against the live registry. Changing the ADMIN_USER or ADMIN_PASSWORD bootstrap environment value later does not reset an existing account, because those values only create the owner once, so use the live password change instead.

What should I back up on a Verdaccio server?

Back up the complete verdaccio_storage volume as one installation boundary. It contains package tarballs, metadata, cache and the htpasswd authentication database. Stop writes first, and restore it into an isolated environment to test it before you rely on it.

How do I upgrade Verdaccio?

6.10.3 stays pinned until you adopt a newer template version. Copy the whole storage volume and check the project's notes first. Running sites are never upgraded automatically, and the volume survives a redeploy, so packages remain published.

Is Verdaccio free?

Yes. Verdaccio is MIT-licensed, which means no software fee, though its documentation and logos carry separate Creative Commons terms. The cost is the dedicated Cloud VPS, whose disk holds your packages and the proxy cache.

Can Verdaccio store packages in S3?

Upstream notes community plugins that integrate with Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage or custom solutions. This template uses the default local storage on a volume and configures none of them, so adding a plugin is your own change.

Is there a Verdaccio cloud service?

Not through this page. Verdaccio cloud hosting here means your own registry runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares, with packages and the account database on a volume you own, and publishing limited to your owner login.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
