# GitLab Container Registry Administration
|
|
|
|
Documentation on how to use Container Registry are under [TODO](TODO.md).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Containers can be large in size and they are stored on the server GitLab is
|
|
installed on.
|
|
|
|
The Container Registry works under HTTPS by default.
|
|
This means that the Container Registry requires a SSL certificate.
|
|
There are two options on how this can be configured:
|
|
|
|
1. Use its own domain - needs a SSL certificate for that specific domain
|
|
(eg. registry.example.com) or a wildcard certificate if hosted under a subdomain
|
|
(eg. registry.gitlab.example.com)
|
|
1. Use existing GitLab domain and expose the registry on a port - can reuse
|
|
existing GitLab SSL certificate
|
|
|
|
Note that using HTTP is possible,
|
|
[see insecure Registry document.](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/insecure.md)
|
|
|
|
Please take this into consideration before configuring Container Registry for
|
|
the first time.
|
|
|
|
## Container Registry under its own domain
|
|
|
|
Lets assume that you want the Container Registry to be accessible at
|
|
`https://registry.gitlab.example.com`.
|
|
|
|
### Omnibus GitLab packages
|
|
|
|
Place your SSL certificate and key in
|
|
`/etc/gitlab/ssl/registry.gitlab.example.com.crt`
|
|
and
|
|
`/etc/gitlab/ssl/registry.gitlab.example.com.key` and make sure they have
|
|
correct permissions:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod 600 /etc/gitlab/ssl/registry.gitlab.example.com.*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the SSL certificate is in place, edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` with:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
registry_external_url 'https://registry.gitlab.example.com'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
Users should now be able to login to the Container Registry using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker login registry.gitlab.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with their GitLab credentials.
|
|
|
|
If you have a [wildcard certificate][], you need to specify the path to the
|
|
certificate in addition to the URL, in this case `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` will
|
|
look like:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
registry_external_url 'https://registry.gitlab.example.com'
|
|
registry_nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/certificate.pem"
|
|
registry_nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/certificate.key"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Container Registry under existing GitLab domain
|
|
|
|
Lets assume that your GitLab instance is accessible at
|
|
`https://gitlab.example.com`. You can expose the Container Registry under
|
|
a separate port.
|
|
|
|
Lets assume that you've exposed port `4567` in your network firewall.
|
|
|
|
### Omnibus GitLab packages
|
|
|
|
Your `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` should contain the Container Registry URL as
|
|
well as the path to the existing SSL certificate and key used by GitLab.
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
registry_external_url 'https://gitlab.example.com:4567'
|
|
|
|
## If your SSL certificate is not in /etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.crt
|
|
## and key not in /etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.key uncomment the lines
|
|
## below
|
|
|
|
# registry_nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/path/to/certificate.pem"
|
|
# registry_nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/path/to/certificate.key"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
Users should now be able to login to the Container Registry using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker login gitlab.example.com:4567
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with their GitLab credentials.
|
|
|
|
## Container Registry storage path
|
|
|
|
It is possible to change path where containers will be stored by the Container
|
|
Registry.
|
|
|
|
### Omnibus GitLab packages
|
|
|
|
By default, the path Container Registry is using to store the containers is in
|
|
`/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry`.
|
|
This path is accessible to the user running the Container Registry daemon,
|
|
user running GitLab and to the user running Nginx web server.
|
|
|
|
In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['registry_path'] = "/path/to/registry/storage"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE** You should confirm that the GitLab, registry and the web server user
|
|
have access to this directory.
