The GitLab [Package Registry ](package_registry/index.md ) acts as a private or public registry
for a variety of common package managers. You can publish and share
2019-09-17 08:06:48 -04:00
packages, which can be easily consumed as a dependency in downstream projects.
2020-08-06 17:10:15 -04:00
The Package Registry supports the following formats:

## Container Registry
The GitLab [Container Registry ](container_registry/index.md ) is a secure and private registry for container images. It's built on open source software and completely integrated within GitLab. Use GitLab CI/CD to create and publish images. Use the GitLab [API ](../../api/container_registry.md ) to manage the registry across groups and projects.
## Dependency Proxy
The [Dependency Proxy ](dependency_proxy/index.md ) is a local proxy for frequently-used upstream images and packages.
