Packyard

Open-source, self-hosted private Composer registry for PHP teams.

Packyard gives you a Composer package registry you can run on your own infrastructure. It ships as a single Go binary with an embedded admin dashboard, organization-scoped tokens, and local or S3-compatible package storage.

Install

curl -sSf https://get.packyard.dev/install.sh | bash

The installer downloads Packyard and starts an interactive setup for the database, storage, public URL, admin user, and optional service unit.

For manual, unattended, air-gapped, or reverse-proxy setup, see the installation guide.

What You Get

• Composer registry endpoints for private PHP packages
• Organization-scoped install tokens
• SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL
• Local filesystem or S3-compatible storage
• GitHub release sync and an embedded admin dashboard

Composer Setup

Composer repository URLs include the organization slug:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://repo.example.com/default"
    }
  ]
}

Authenticate with a token generated in the Packyard dashboard:

composer config --auth http-basic.repo.example.com YOUR_TOKEN YOUR_PASSWORD
