ForgeRepo, a firewall for the packages your code pulls
ForgeRepo is a self-hosted registry firewall and cache that checks packages and container images before serving them to developers or build pipelines.
- For
- Development teams managing third-party packages and container images
- Worth noticing
- It combines registry caching with cooling-off rules, typosquat detection, kill switches, and 90-day dry-run replay.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the product around the path of a package request and the order in which security rules decide whether it is served. Its coverage extends beyond the usual JavaScript registry: the page lists Python, JVM, .NET, Ruby, PHP, Apple, container, RPM, and Debian/Ubuntu workflows. It also documents approval requests, time-boxed waivers, kill switches, and a 90-day dry-run mode, giving the tool an operational shape beyond simple caching.
