This code snippet configures npm to use a specified proxy server for package downloads and registry access, while also disabling strict SSL certificate validation.

Run example

npm run import -- "use npm cache inside of docker"

use npm cache inside of docker

RUN npm config set proxy http://{host}:8050
RUN npm config set proxy http://{host}:8050
RUN npm config set registry http://{host}:5080
RUN npm config set strict-ssl false

# Set npm proxy and registry configuration
# Configure npm to use a proxy and registry for package installations
npm_config_proxy="http://{host}:8050"
npm_config_registry="http://{host}:5080"
npm_config_strict_ssl="false"

# Set npm configuration using the config command
RUN npm config set --force proxy "${npm_config_proxy}"
RUN npm config set --force registry "${npm_config_registry}"
RUN npm config set --force strict-ssl "${npm_config_strict_ssl}"

This code snippet configures npm, the Node.js package manager, to use a proxy server for network requests.

Here's a breakdown:

1. RUN npm config set proxy http://{host}:8050: This command sets the HTTP proxy server address to http://{host}:8050. {host} should be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address of the proxy server.

2. RUN npm config set registry http://{host}:5080: This command sets the npm registry URL to http://{host}:5080. The registry is where npm looks for packages to install.

3. RUN npm config set strict-ssl false: This command disables strict SSL certificate validation for npm. This is generally not recommended for security reasons, but it might be necessary if the proxy server or registry uses a self-signed certificate.

In essence, this code snippet configures npm to use a specific proxy server for both package downloads and registry access, and disables strict SSL validation.
