In other words : is it some kind of containerization/ VM technology or it's just my computer doing the whole thing ? and where's the downloaded data stored ?
Things I tried :
Code here , uncomment and use node index.js to run
1- Checking system info using systeminformation gives: (obviously not my specs)
manufacturer: 'Intel',
brand: 'Core™ i9-9880H',
other information weren't very useful at least for my level of experience .
2- Testing network interfaces
iface: 'en0',
ifaceName: 'en0',
default: false,
ip4: '192.168.1.104',
I checked my host's local ip using ifconfig , not the same.
3- Checking external ip / Network speed
Wasn't able to do that , I guess only connections to npm server are allowed for downloading packages , fetching other webpages or connecting to speed-test servers isn't working .
So far it seemed like it's not My computer BUT then I tried running npm i largest-package and directly cut my PC's connectivity (the command should continue running on the server and I should find the package installed when I reconnect) this ,however , did not happen .
As for the Data
I checked the cached data in browser.. very small (in my humble opinion)
Finally
Checking the documentation
yields (09/03/2022) link
I'd appreciate you helping me wrap my head around this .
