# GitLab Container Registry
> [Introduced][ce-4040] in GitLab 8.8. Docker Registry manifest
`v1` support was added in GitLab 8.9 to support Docker versions earlier than 1.10.
> **Note:**
This document is about the user guide. To learn how to enable GitLab Container
Registry across your GitLab instance, visit the
[administrator documentation](../administration/container_registry.md).
With the Docker Container Registry integrated into GitLab, every project can
have its own space to store its Docker images.
You can read more about Docker Registry at https://docs.docker.com/registry/introduction/.
---
## Enable the Container Registry for your project
1. First, ask your system administrator to enable GitLab Container Registry
following the [administration documentation](../administration/container_registry.md).
If you are using GitLab.com, this is enabled by default so you can start using
the Registry immediately.
1. Go to your project's settings and enable the **Container Registry** feature
on your project. For new projects this might be enabled by default. For
existing projects you will have to explicitly enable it.
![Enable Container Registry](img/project_feature.png)
## Build and push images
After you save your project's settings, you should see a new link in the
sidebar called **Container Registry**. Following this link will get you to
your project's Registry panel where you can see how to login to the Container
Registry using your GitLab credentials.
For example if the Registry's URL is `registry.example.com`, the you should be
able to login with:
```
docker login registry.example.com
```
Building and publishing images should be a straightforward process. Just make
sure that you are using the Registry URL with the namespace and project name
that is hosted on GitLab:
```
docker build -t registry.example.com/group/project .
docker push registry.example.com/group/project
```
## Use images from GitLab Container Registry
To download and run a container from images hosted in GitLab Container Registry,
use `docker run`:
```
docker run [options] registry.example.com/group/project [arguments]
```
For more information on running Docker containers, visit the
[Docker documentation][docker-docs].
## Control Container Registry from within GitLab
GitLab offers a simple Container Registry management panel. Go to your project
and click **Container Registry** in the left sidebar.
This view will show you all tags in your project and will easily allow you to
delete them.
![Container Registry panel](img/container_registry.png)
## Build and push images using GitLab CI
> **Note:**
This feature requires GitLab 8.8 and GitLab Runner 1.2.
Make sure that your GitLab Runner is configured to allow building Docker images by
following the [Using Docker Build](../ci/docker/using_docker_build.md)
and [Using the GitLab Container Registry documentation](../ci/docker/using_docker_build.md#using-the-gitlab-container-registry).
## Limitations
In order to use a container image from your private project as an `image:` in
your `.gitlab-ci.yml`, you have to follow the
[Using a private Docker Registry][private-docker]
documentation. This workflow will be simplified in the future.
## Troubleshooting
See [the GitLab Docker registry troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting.md).

# Troubleshooting the GitLab Container Registry
## Basic Troubleshooting
1. Check to make sure that the system clock on your Docker client and GitLab server have
been synchronized (e.g. via NTP).
2. If you are using an S3-backed Registry, double check that the IAM
permissions and the S3 credentials (including region) are correct. See [the
sample IAM policy](https://docs.docker.com/registry/storage-drivers/s3/)
for more details.
3. Check the Registry logs (e.g. `/var/log/gitlab/registry/current`) and the GitLab production logs
for errors (e.g. `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log`). You may be able to find clues
there.
## Advanced Troubleshooting
>**NOTE:** The following section is only recommended for experts.
Sometimes it's not obvious what is wrong, and you may need to dive deeper into
the communication between the Docker client and the Registry to find out
what's wrong. We will use a concrete example in the past to illustrate how to
diagnose a problem with the S3 setup.
### Unexpected 403 error during push
A user attempted to enable an S3-backed Registry. The `docker login` step went
fine. However, when pushing an image, the output showed:
```
The push refers to a repository [s3-testing.myregistry.com:4567/root/docker-test]

19429b698a22: Waiting
9436069b92a3: Waiting
error parsing HTTP 403 response body: unexpected end of JSON input: ""
```
This error is ambiguous, as it's not clear whether the 403 is coming from the
GitLab Rails application, the Docker Registry, or something else. In this
case, since we know that since the login succeeded, we probably need to look
at the communication between the client and the Registry.
The REST API between the Docker client and Registry is [described
here](https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/api/). Normally, one would just
use Wireshark or tcpdump to capture the traffic and see where things went
wrong. However, since all communication between Docker clients and servers
are done over HTTPS, it's a bit difficult to decrypt the traffic quickly even
if you know the private key. What can we do instead?
One way would be to disable HTTPS by setting up an [insecure
Registry](https://docs.docker.com/registry/insecure/). This could introduce a
security hole and is only recommended for local testing. If you have a
production system and can't or don't want to do this, there is another way:
use mitmproxy, which stands for Man-in-the-Middle Proxy.
### mitmproxy
[mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) allows you to place a proxy between your
client and server to inspect all traffic. One wrinkle is that your system
needs to trust the mitmproxy SSL certificates for this to work.
The following installation instructions assume you are running Ubuntu:
1. Install mitmproxy (see http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/install.html)
1. Run `mitmproxy --port 9000` to generate its certificates.
Enter <kbd>CTRL</kbd>-<kbd>C</kbd> to quit.
1. Install the certificate from `~/.mitmproxy` to your system:
```sh
sudo cp ~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/mitmproxy-ca-cert.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates
```
If successful, the output should indicate that a certificate was added:
```sh
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs... 1 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d....done.
```
To verify that the certificates are properly installed, run:
```sh
mitmproxy --port 9000
```
This will run mitmproxy on port `9000`. In another window, run:
```sh
curl --proxy http://localhost:9000 https://httpbin.org/status/200
```
If everything is setup correctly, you will see information on the mitmproxy window and
no errors from the curl commands.
### Running the Docker daemon with a proxy
For Docker to connect through a proxy, you must start the Docker daemon with the
proper environment variables. The easiest way is to shutdown Docker (e.g. `sudo initctl stop docker`)
and then run Docker by hand. As root, run:
```sh
export HTTP_PROXY="http://localhost:9000"
export HTTPS_PROXY="https://localhost:9000"
docker daemon --debug
```
This will launch the Docker daemon and proxy all connections through mitmproxy.
### Running the Docker client
Now that we have mitmproxy and Docker running, we can attempt to login and push
a container image. You may need to run as root to do this. For example:
```sh
docker login s3-testing.myregistry.com:4567
docker push s3-testing.myregistry.com:4567/root/docker-test
```
In the example above, we see the following trace on the mitmproxy window:
![mitmproxy output from Docker](img/mitmproxy-docker.png)
The above image shows:
* The initial PUT requests went through fine with a 201 status code.
* The 201 redirected the client to the S3 bucket.
* The HEAD request to the AWS bucket reported a 403 Unauthorized.
What does this mean? This strongly suggests that the S3 user does not have the right
[permissions to perform a HEAD request](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectHEAD.html).
The solution: check the [IAM permissions again](https://docs.docker.com/registry/storage-drivers/s3/).
Once the right permissions were set, the error will go away.

## Build and push images
If you visit the **Registry** link under your project's menu, you can see the
explicit instructions to login to the Container Registry using your GitLab

```
<registry URL>/<namespace>/<project>
```
As such, the name of the image is unique, but you can differentiate the images
using tags.
