NPM–401 error when restoring packages from an Azure DevOps Artifacts NPM registry

I had to make some changes to an Angular application, so I cloned the app and ran ‘npm install’. This failed with the following error message:

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Projects\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA\node_modules\.staging\dayjs-f8637d82\plugin\weekOfYear.d.ts'

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Projects\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA\node_modules\.staging\dayjs-f8637d82\plugin\weekYear.d.ts'

npm ERR! code E401

npm ERR! Unable to authenticate, need: Bearer authorization_uri=https://login.windows.net/<guid>, Basic realm="https://pkgsprodsu3weu.app.pkgs.visualstudio.com/", TFS-Federated   

Some packages should be downloaded from our own NPM registry hosted in Azure DevOps Artifacts. As I couldn’t authenticate succesfully this resulted in a 401 error.

To solve this I first had to install the vsts-npm-auth package:

PS D:\Projects\cms\ui\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA> npm install -g vsts-npm-auth

C:\Users\bart\AppData\Roaming\npm\vsts-npm-auth -> C:\Users\bart\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vsts-npm-auth\bin\vsts-npm-auth.exe

+ vsts-npm-auth@0.41.0

added 1 package from 1 contributor in 1.947s

Then I could login and create the required .npmrc file by executing the following command:

PS D:\Projects\cms\ui\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA> vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc

vsts-npm-auth v0.41.0.0

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...
