NPM Package.json publishing configuration

When managing your package.json file there are 2 use cases that can impact how you configure it:

I don't want my package published at all. It's private.

To enable this set "private": true in your package.json. This will prevent it from being published at all.

If you try to accidently publish the package, you’ll get the following feedback:

C:\projects\test\npmtest>npm publish
npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.10586
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Users\\BaWu\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "publish"
npm ERR! node v6.10.0
npm ERR! npm  v3.10.5

npm ERR! This package has been marked as private
npm ERR! Remove the 'private' field from the package.json to publish it.
npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:
npm ERR!     <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues>

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR!     C:\projects\test\npmtest\npm-debug.log

I only want my package to be published to an internal registry.

Add a "publishConfig":{"registry":"http://my-internal-registry.local"} section to your package.json to force it to be published only to your internal registry.

Invoking the ‘npm publish’ command will publish the package to the specified registry.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
