It is that first p3x-verdaccio-cli version that is working with the Verdaccio .

Based on https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues/343

What is good about this, that when I checked my cache count is 1981, after clean my cache and reinstall my all repos is down to 881.

Of course, with an option eg. --storage=azure it could be enabled.

MAKE SURE TO STOP VERDACCIO BEFORE YOU CONTINUE AND MAKE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING, SO THAT YOU COULD REVERT IF SOMETHING IS NOT STATISFYING!!!

This is only working with the original Sinopia file system storage driver!!!

For own packages only works without namespaces!
