Publishing packages marked as private to verdaccio

Question

Is it possible to publish packages marked as private to Verdaccio without removing private:true from package.json?

The NPM documentation says that we can also use publishConfig to ensure that a package is only published to a specific directory, but there are not examples how to go about configuring it:

https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#private

Answer 1

I replaced private:true with:

  "publishConfig":{
    "access": "restricted",
    "registry":"http://localhost:4873"
  },  

Note that the package has to be scoped, so I added the @fireflysemantics scope:

  "name": "@fireflysemantics/package-name"
