Artifact Registry

The artifact registry is the system of record for installable Matrix package bytes. Pages in this section walk through what the backend actually is, how it speaks npm protocol, how versions are addressed, how integrity is checked, and what authentication is required.

For the high-level concept of "what is the artifact registry?" and how it differs from the live actor registry or the package catalog, see Overview / Artifact registry.

Pages

• Gitea backend — the actual cloud backend implementation
• npm-compatible packages — the protocol surface
• Version storage — how versions are stored and addressed
• Integrity — current and target-state integrity guarantees
• Authentication — read/write auth and token handling
