Registries

Container registry

Integrated container registry

Images must be named according to the project path

For example in project bar in group foo:

gitlab.inmylab.de/foo/bar:latest

Availability

Automatically enabled for the instance if using Let’s Encrypt

Enable the registry

• Set a URL using registry_external_url
• Configure certificates (integrated or in reverse proxy)

Can be disabled per project

Authentication

GitLab provides predefined variables for accessing the registry

CI jobs receive environment variables:

• CI_REGISTRY
• CI_REGISTRY_USER
• CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD
• CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE

Hands-On
