furthermore, attempting to try the reported action: try npm install verdaccio-packages does not work regardless of the registry specified (no registry specified (an no .npmrc at all) => https://registry.npmjs.org/ or --registry=https://registry.verdaccio.org)

To Reproduce

1. execute the following:
   docker-compose up --build

with the following specified in docker-compose.yml

version: '3.1'

services:
  verdaccio:
    image: verdaccio/verdaccio
    container_name: "verdaccio"
    environment:
    - VERDACCIO_PORT=4873
    ports:
    - "4873:4873"
    volumes:
    - "./storage:/verdaccio/storage"
    - "./config:/verdaccio/conf"
    - "./plugins:/verdaccio/plugins"

Expected behavior
verdaccio starts with some pertinent output and is ready to handle requests of npm registry nature

Configuration File (cat ~/.config/verdaccio/config.yaml)

storage: /home/blah/verdaccio/storage
auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: /home/blah/verdaccio/.htpasswd
    max_users: 10
  packages:
    '@blah/*':
      access: $authenticated
      publish: $authenticated

You need your own container https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/docker#plugins

[buzziam]

Hi @juanpicado - thank you for the fast triage.

Isn't it the case that I would need my own container if a requirement in my deployment was to have specific plugins installed? The thing is I don't require any plugins. This should be just like bringing the standard verdaccio container up by executing the following except that I'm using docker-compose (and the corresponding YML) to do it:

docker run -it --rm --name verdaccio -p 4873:4873 verdaccio/verdaccio except using docker-compose.

Also, I'm just following the docs: https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/docker#using-docker-compose - and that's it. Does that mean this is a doc bug?

Additionally, the error message states: error--- plugin not found. try npm install verdaccio-packages but as far as I can tell, the verdaccio-packages npm package doesn't exist.

[juanpicado]

You have a typo, extra space, this section is inside auth, that's the mistake.

packages:
    '@blah/*':
      access: $authenticated
      publish: $authenticated

[buzziam]

ugh - thanks for the extra set of eyes and your time.
