## What it is
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
