Support node.js mirror like nvm
Description: Support alternate nodejs download mirror like nvm
nvm does support setting a mirror via environment variable, e.g: NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/node-dist/
setup-node should also support a similar option "mirror" to specify an alternate node.js base URL for downloading the node.js binaries.
Justification: All node.js binaries are downloaded directly from the internet via a specified proxy in the github action runners environment, which created egress costs for self-hosted github action runners in GHEC.
By using mirror option the reliance on node.js site is decoupled and egress is saved.
Are you willing to submit a PR? i think i'm not allowed...
Hello @thomas-z-meyer-db ! Thank you for the suggested idea! We will consider adding this feature and will let you know as soon as we have any decision.
nodejs.org seems to fail quite often in the recent weeks. Having a possibility to specify a mirror would be great.
Hi! I'm also affected by nodejs.org fails. Is setup-node action caching the node tarball, so it's not downloaded every time? https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/tool-cache
NodeJs has been timing out a lot in recent days for us, so this feature would make our life much easier
https://github.com/actions/setup-node/pull/134 can resolve this problom, can we merge it ?
