Hello. I'm trying to install private package in deployed nodejs app. Let me subscribe more detail environment. I use Dokku to implement PaaS and it works similar Heroku.

  1. When I use npm private, each deployed app needs authenticate npm.
  2. When I use git private, each deployed app needs ssh key.

First one needs custom build pack to install private package. I think it's not good idea. Fortunately, Dokku has shared-deployment ssh key plugin. So I chose second one.

But this also has a problem. The problem is that NPM doesn't execute prepublish or preinstall command for git repository installation.

What's alternative for this?
