I've run into a similar situation, where my company has governance around acquisition of Open Source Software. So even thought we *have* interenet connections, we really can't use them for npm. We also have an artifactory instance running with support for Maven, and I'm actually wondering if it's possible to set up an npm mirror (with our own governance layer on top of the couchDB) *inside* artifactory. (It's a budget/precedent thing... don't ask).
i have built the code for our specific brand of (Justice!) governance around accessing/acquiring from npm where our registries are configured to our local instance of an npm mirror, but it's only deployed at a level where a few teams can access it and befit from it. In order for me to allow all the devs in our enterprise to use it, I have to have another team that has that scope of support sign off on it.... and they just so happen to have artifactory stood up with Maven. So if I can find a way for artifactory to pipe in updates from the global npm registry, then it's considered a solution we already support, and I can actually stand up. so yeah... anyone taken a crack at, or have any thoughts on whether a marriage between a couch based npm mirror and artifactory is possible? Thanks OP for this question!
