Toran Proxy A Composer proxy for speed and reliability

More reliable and faster Composer deployments

Toran acts as a proxy for Packagist and GitHub. It is meant to be set up on your own server or even inside your office. This offers a few benefits:

  • Redundant infrastructure to ensure your deployments never fail and your developers can work at any time. Packages will be installed from your proxy with a fallback to GitHub, ensuring a maximum availability.
  • Higher bandwidth for faster installations. You can set up Toran in your local network or on a server near you.

Easily host private packages

Toran is easy to install and configure, and provides you with a web interface to conveniently manage and list your private Composer packages. It uses a file-based configuration that is easy to manage from the command line but also allows changes over the web interface. Whatever suits you best.

Built to work with Composer

Toran is built by Jordi Boggiano, lead developer of Composer. As such he can make sure they work well together and that Toran stays up to date with Composer's changes.

Support Composer and Packagist

Toran was built because maintaining and developing Composer and Packagist further has become impossible without some funding. Providing this additional product for a fee to companies using Composer will hopefully provide a more sustainable income than donations would. Composer and Packagist will of course remain free and open since they are pillars of the open-source PHP community.
