# NORA
> **Multi-protocol artifact registry that doesn't suck.**
>
> One binary. All protocols. Stupidly fast.
**The artifact registry that grows with you.** Starts with `docker run`, scales to enterprise.
**32 MB** binary | **< 100 MB** RAM | **3s** startup | **5** protocols
```bash
docker run -d -p 4000:4000 -v nora-data:/data ghcr.io/getnora-io/nora:latest
```
## Features
Open [http://localhost:4000/ui/](http://localhost:4000/ui/) — your registry is ready.
- **Multi-Protocol Support**
- Docker Registry v2
- Maven repository (+ proxy to Maven Central)
- npm registry (+ proxy to npmjs.org)
- Cargo registry
- PyPI index
<p align="center">
<img src=".github/assets/dashboard.gif" alt="NORA Dashboard" width="960" />
</p>
- **Storage Backends**
- Local filesystem (zero-config default)
- S3-compatible (MinIO, AWS S3)
## Why NORA
- **Production Ready**
- Web UI with search and browse
- Swagger UI API documentation
- Prometheus metrics (`/metrics`)
- Health checks (`/health`, `/ready`)
- JSON structured logging
- Graceful shutdown
- **Zero-config** — single 32 MB binary, no database, no dependencies. `docker run` and it works.
- **Production-tested** — Docker, Maven, npm, PyPI, Cargo, Raw. Used in real CI/CD with ArgoCD, Buildx cache, and air-gapped environments.
- **Secure by default** — [OpenSSF Scorecard 7.1](https://scorecard.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/getnora-io/nora), signed releases, SBOM, fuzz testing, 200+ unit tests.
- **Security**
- Basic Auth (htpasswd + bcrypt)
- Revocable API tokens with RBAC
- Blob digest verification (SHA256)
- Non-root container images
- Security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, nosniff)
- Upload session limits (DoS protection)
- Configurable upload size for ML models (`NORA_MAX_UPLOAD_SESSION_SIZE_MB`)
- ENV-based configuration (12-Factor)
- SBOM (SPDX + CycloneDX) in every release
- See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for vulnerability reporting
**32 MB** binary | **< 100 MB** RAM | **3s** startup | **6** registries
> Used in production at [DevIT Academy](https://github.com/devitway) since January 2026 for Docker images, Maven artifacts, and npm packages.

## Authentication
NORA supports Basic Auth (htpasswd) and revocable API tokens with RBAC.
### Quick Setup
```bash
# 1. Create htpasswd file with bcrypt
# Create htpasswd file
htpasswd -cbB users.htpasswd admin yourpassword
# Add more users:
htpasswd -bB users.htpasswd ci-user ci-secret
# 2. Start NORA with auth enabled
# Start with auth enabled
docker run -d -p 4000:4000 \
-v nora-data:/data \
-v ./users.htpasswd:/data/users.htpasswd \
-e NORA_AUTH_ENABLED=true \
ghcr.io/getnora-io/nora:latest
# 3. Verify
curl -u admin:yourpassword http://localhost:4000/v2/_catalog
