I need a package repository and I find jfrog artifactory. Seems great, except the OSS version is utterly useless. The pro version is overpriced, and does not support s3 buckets and the Enterprise version is >25k/year, just to store a half dozen npm and PHP packages on s3 storage? Are you fucking kidding me???

How can companies justify this much money for a package manager?

    Your trying to host your own npm?
    Or self host your own packages?
    Can't you just throw them in github and pull, build as you deploy?

    Have you tried Sonatype Nexus? We used Artifactory in my company a few years ago, switched to Nexus because Artifactory is crap and it has worked pretty well for us so far.

    Yeah, we want a self hosted repo. But we can't use a public repo because our company has private packages we can't release publicaly

    Nexus sounds nice. But nobody here supported to use it. Somebody said they used it before. It was hard to use. Complex to setup or something. So it got vetoed. Company politics I guess

    @chrisalexthomas Were you able to get this working? I'm in the same boat at my company, trying to use Artifactory OSS to distribute a private artifact. It seems like it's not possible.

    The problem you might run into is that the OSS version doesn't support php, JavaScript. Etc. I was also surprised by that

    @chrisalexthomas That's surprising! We are using it to distribute android modules. But even with everything set up right it's not authenticating.
