About
This is a Verdaccio plugin that offers GitHub OAuth integration for both the browser and the command line.
Features
- The Verdaccio login button redirects you to GitHub. If you have access, you return as a logged-in user. Logout works, too.
- The Verdaccio usage info is updated including copy-to-clipboard.
- Use the built-in command-line tool for quick and easy npm configuration.
- Use GitHub organizations, teams, or repositories to configure permissions.
Compatibility
- Verdaccio 5
- Node 14, 16
- Chrome, Firefox, Firefox ESR, Edge, Safari
If you would like to use this with Verdaccio 3-4, Node.js 10-13, or IE you can use version 2 of the plugin.
Setup
Install
$ npm install verdaccio-github-oauth-ui
GitHub Config
- Create an OAuth app at https://github.com/settings/developers
- The callback URL should be
YOUR_REGISTRY_URL/-/oauth/callback
Example:
Verdaccio Config
Merge the below options with your existing Verdaccio config:
middlewares:
github-oauth-ui:
enabled: true
auth:
github-oauth-ui:
org: GITHUB_ORG # (required)
client-id: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID # (required)
client-secret: GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET # (required)
enterprise-origin: GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_ORIGIN # (optional)
Notes
- The plugin options can be actual values or the names of environment variables containing the values.
- The plugin options can be specified under either the
middlewares
or theauth
node. - The plugin name must be included under both
middlewares
andauth
nodes.
org
(required)
Members of this org will be able to authenticate.
client-id
and client-secret
(required)
These values can be obtained from the GitHub OAuth app page at https://github.com/settings/developers.
enterprise-origin
(optional)
Set this if you are using GitHub Enterprise. Example: https://github.example.com
Package Access
The following groups are added during login and can be used to configure package permissions:
$authenticated
github/GITHUB_ORG
for every GitHub org the user is a member ofgithub/GITHUB_ORG/team/GITHUB_TEAM
for every GitHub team the user is a member ofgithub/GITHUB_ORG/repo/GITHUB_REPO
for every GitHub repository the user has access to
You can use these groups as shown below:
packages:
foo:
# limit actions to logged-in users (works in combination with other plugins such as htpasswd)
access: $authenticated
# limit actions to org members
publish: github/GITHUB_ORG
# limit actions to team members
unpublish: github/GITHUB_ORG/team/GITHUB_TEAM
bar:
# limit actions to repository members (does not work for outside collaborators)
access: github/GITHUB_ORG/repo/GITHUB_REPO
See Package Access for more examples.
Proxy Config
If you are behind a proxy server, the plugin needs to know the proxy server to make GitHub requests.
Configure the below environment variable.
$ export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080
See the global-agent docs for detailed configuration instrcutions.
Login
Verdaccio UI
- Click the login button and get redirected to GitHub.
- Authorize the registry to access your GitHub user and org info. You only need to do this once. If your org is private, make sure to click the Request or Grant button to get
read:org
access when prompted to authorize. - Once completed, you'll be redirected back to the Verdaccio registry.
You are now logged in.
Command Line
Option A) Use the built-in CLI
The easiest way to configure npm is to use this short command:
$ npx verdaccio-github-oauth-ui --registry http://localhost:4873
Option B) Copy commands from the UI
- Verdaccio 5:
Open the "Register Info" dialog and click "Copy to clipboard":
- Run the copied commands on your terminal:
$ npm config set //localhost:4873:_authToken "SECRET_TOKEN"
$ npm config set //localhost:4873:always-auth true
- Verify npm is set up correctly by running the
whoami
command. Example:
$ npm whoami --registry http://localhost:4873
n4bb12
If you see your GitHub username, you are ready to start installing and publishing packages.
Logout
Verdaccio UI
Click the Logout button as per usual.
Command Line
Unless OAuth access is revoked in the GitHub settings, the token is valid indefinitely.
Revoke Tokens
To invalidate your active login tokens you need to revoke access on the GitHub OAuth app:
- Go to https://github.com/settings/applications
- Find your Verdaccio app
- Click the Revoke button as shown below
If you have created the GitHub OAuth app, you can also revoke access for all users:
- Go to https://github.com/settings/applications
- Find your Verdaccio app
- Click the app name
- On the app detail page click the Revoke all user tokens button
Troubleshooting
"Failed requesting GitHub user info"
- Double-check that your configured client id and client secret are correct.
- If you are behind a proxy, make sure you are also passing through the query parameters to Verdaccio, see https://github.com/n4bb12/verdaccio-github-oauth-ui/issues/47#issuecomment-643814163 for an
nginx
example.
Plugin not detected when installed globally
Verdaccio loads plugins by requiring them but global node_modules
are NOT searched by the node resolve algorithm. Despite what examples or documentation might be suggesting, globally installed plugins are not supported. Some solutions that worked for others:
- If you are using npm, switch to yarn. yarn installs modules a bit differently, such that globally installed plugins are found.
- Create a
package.json
and install verdaccio + plugins locally. - Add your global
node_modules
folder to theNODE_PATH
environment variable to give Node.js a hint to search for modules here, too. - Extend the official docker image. See this
docker.sh
andDockerfile
in this example.

"Your auth token is no longer valid. Please log in again."
If your GitHub org is private, the org membership visibility might be restricted. If this is the case, your org members need to grant read:org
permission during login.
They can request this during fist login by clicking the Request or Grant button when prompted to authorize Verdaccio with GitHub.
If you or a team member accidentally skipped this step, go to https://github.com/settings/applications, find your Verdaccio registry, and grant read:org
access from there.
