Meteor: manually update catalog

My application is behind a corporate firewall and proxy. I am able to add new packages but somehow I cannot update the catalog. Probably because websockets are not allowed through the firewall.

Is there a method to manually get the latest catalog? The proxy variables HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY are set of course.

Opening db file /pkgs/meteor/.meteor/package-metadata/v2.0.1/packages.data.db
In remote catalog refresh
lastSync =  { timestamp: 1509131556799, _id: 'lastsync' }
Unable to update package catalog (are you offline?)

If you are using Meteor behind a proxy, set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables or see this page for more details:

The "solution" was

  1. Meteor refresh on my laptop with normal internet connection
  2. Copy the content .meteor/package-metadata/ to the internal system
  3. Run Meteor update with METEOR_OFFLINE_CATALOG=1

Quite an annoying process. I think a meteor refresh should be done without Websockets or at least have the choice of disabling. DISABLE_WEBSOCKETS=1 did not work in my case.

You could update the catalog on your dev machine, then build it and deploy with the updated packages as a tar.gz in the restricted environment.

Otherwise just remove all packages and then add them back in if that downalods the latest version of all the packages.
