Hosting verdaccio on netifly ??

[nivekithan]

Hi,

First of all I am frontend developer so apologies if my question makes no sense.

I am wondering is it possible to host verdaccio (only server not frontend) on netlify or heroku or any other free hosting service.

I am participating in a hackathon where my plan is to create a code marketplace where developers and companies can buy and sell packages.

To host all these packages I am planning to use verdaccio for package registry with some custom plugins.

But I am not sure whats the process for hosting it.

Thanks for the help

hi @nivekithan

Veradaccio is just an express app with some local file requirements, but is just a regular Node.js application. Maybe google by "express app on Netifly" could give you a broad list of sources like,

Personally I've never tried myself or heard someone sharing experiences.
