I have an angular package in a private npm in azure and I need to install it in a docker. I don't know how to get an authentication token to connect to the private npm, I have .npmrc file.
My docker
FROM node:latest AS build
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json /app
COPY .npmrc .npmrc
RUN npm install https://myprivate-npm/npm/registry/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}
RUN npm install
When I installed it locally, I ran these two commands from VS Code and they did the job
npm install -g vsts-npm-auth --registry https://registry.npmjs.com --always-auth false
vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc
To get an access token in docker:
Amend your .npmrc file with the following contents:
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}
Amend your dockerfile:
FROM node:latest AS build
ARG NPM_TOKEN
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json /app
COPY .npmrc .npmrc
RUN npm install
RUN rm -f .npmrc
Build your image replacing ${NPM_TOKEN} with your npm token docker build --build-arg NPM_TOKEN=${NPM_TOKEN} .
Everything here can be found in the NPM documentation
