Private bower registry with caching

This docker image sets up a private bower registry which caches third party packages.

All data is stored in the /data volume which should be mounted somewhere persistent.

The ports 5678, 6789 and 7891 should be mapped one-to-one.

The docker image need to know which IP/hostname it can be reached on. This is done by specifying the ADDRESS environment variable at launch.

docker run -e ADDRESS=my-bower-registry \
           -v /somewhere/to/store/stuff:/data \
           -p 5678:5678 -p 6789:6789 -p 7891:7891 \
           tandrup/private-bower

Usage

In your client project add the registry to your .bowerrc file:

{
    "registry": "http://my-bower-registry:5678"
}

Customizing private-bower config

In case you like to tweak the configuration make sure the configuration is mounted as /data/bowerConfig.json. If the file exists it will be used instead of the default configuration.

Providing ssh keys

To provide ssh keys for use with the docker container mount the keys into /root/.ssh with a -v /somewhere/with/ssh/keys:/root/.ssh and these will be used, allowing access to private repos for which you have access.
