What is the best way to deploy Node.js project to the machine without access to the internet? For example in a private network? Is there any option to make one package containing all of dependencies for the project?
in order to deploy a project, you don't need to download anything from the internet- you need it only for running npm install when building the project. if all dependencies are already there, you can just run it.
if you need it also for building the project, you can create a local npm repository and put in there all relevant dependencies

Have cloud hosting on hetzner. Actually want to make laravel project. And i want to use laravel breeze and another packages and should install npm? I tried google it but i need your advice. please help me.
You can install all the packages on your local computer, then build your assets locally and ship the built assets to the server.
Whilst you can run npm run build on the server, you do not need to. You can do this locally then commit the built assets to your repository.
Hi We are using jenkins and have a step in pipeline where we download dependencies such as mocha, cucumber etc. using
npm install
The client jenkins is not having internet access nor they have any dependency management server such as artefactory.
Is it possible to bundle the required dependencies from node_modules in zip or tar form and the same can be imported by them in global scope. So there is no need to run npm install for each job and they are available as global packages.
Is it that each project such as cucumber etc. needs to be downloaded separately and imported as file path.
Please share your thoughts as I am not able to find much information on what appeared to be a common problem initially with Organizations generally not allowing outbound internet on their servers.
thanks !!
Have a look at npm-pack-all that packs all of the node_modules as part of the artifact.
Currently, in a project, we're using some packages from a private registry hosted on Artifactory, along with some packages from npm.
We're trying to migrate all the packages (public and privates) to another Artifactory server, which is offline. However, when I run an npm publish command on the project, it only pushes the project itself as a package and not its dependencies.
We'd like to publish all dependencies located in node_modules one by one to the private registry so they can be accessed from any offline project. Is it possible to accomplish this?
I already tried to add the packages to bundledDependencies in package.json, but this, however, doesn't push the dependencies individually.
As a workaround, what we did was to create a script that ran npm publish on every package in node_modules. Everything from the root of the project (Which had the corresponding .npmrc pointing to the target repository). This created a copy of every dependence on the new Artifactory.
There is a way to install npm package to a machine which doesn't have internet acccess is, using npm pack in machine with internet acces, copying it to machine without internet and running npm install <tar> in it. But npm pack, packs whole project.
But I want to manage and install the modules myself, without the opportunity for the developers to add/remove any modules. So I just want node_modules to be packaged. And then want to install it to machine without internet.
For example when developer push his/her commits to origin, I want to get node_modules from ftp etc. and codes from GitLab then go on continuous integration with this static node_modules.
How can I do that?
There is a solution to manage the modules yourself: you can store your node_modules in its own repo in which your developers will only be able to clone/get the repo and not contribute/modify it.
Hope this helped you
This can be done, please look at Installing a local module using npm? . You can FTP or whatever to get the packages and install them using npm.
I've been looking around for a Java maven equivalency for NodeJS but can't really seem to find one so I'm posting this question to see whether there're a combination of tools/framework I can use to build and deploy Node. The specific tasks I'm looking for is:
Being able to grab dependent modules for a checked out code NodeJS project (for ex. Express or stuff like that)
Set up a private repository for NodeJS modules for in-house projects
Package with dependencies and make releases of Node projects to a repository (sorta like war)
Deploy a release to a remote box and fire up Node
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Npm does most of that for you.
Dependency handling:
Create a package.json for your project (see required contents or use npm init)
Commit it along your project files, this will be your dependency tracking
npm install will sort out and download all dependencies
Deploying:
Upload/push your files to the server
Either send the node_modules folder along or run npm install on the server
To use your private libraries you'll need to either upload the modules folder or publish them (see below)
Private/local libraries:
Create the library anywhere you want (e.g. ~/Projects/mylib)
go to the mylib folder and run npm link
go to the project's folder and run npm install mylib
Now your local library is symlinked into your project's node_modules
To set up a private repository for your modules, follow these instructions
