Sinopia is a zero-configuration private npm registry server that caches packages from npmjs.org and lets you publish private packages locally. It runs as a self-hosted Node.js web server with a small built-in database and a web UI for browsing and searching packages.

Use cases

• host a private npm registry for company packages
• cache npm packages to reduce install latency across servers
• override a public npm package with a locally patched version
• keep npm installs working when npmjs.org is down
• run an offline npm mirror inside a private network

When to choose

• you need private npm packages without running CouchDB or a paid registry
• you want a zero-config, lightweight npm proxy cache for multiple servers
• you need to publish patched forks of third-party packages under the same name

When to avoid

• you want an actively developed registry - consider Verdaccio, its maintained successor
• you need enterprise features like SSO, audit logs, or high availability
• you need a registry for non-npm ecosystems like PyPI or Maven
