Try out the new Helm chart registry and let us know hwo it goes.

With the GitLab Container Registry you can authenticate using your PAT, Job token or a Deploy token.

PM here for the GitLab Container Registry.

That restriction is something we will be moving away from in the coming months. I like how GitHub allows you to publish an image under a namespace. We have an open issue for that: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241027.

You can use the GitLab Dependency Proxy for caching images from DockerHub, it's pretty straightforward to pull cached images:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/dependency_proxy/

GitLab PM here - we have a feature called the [Dependency Proxy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/dependency_proxy/) that allows you to cache images from DockerHub. Currently this only works for public projects, but we are working on adding support for private projects now: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/11582.

We'd love for you to try again. We do support using the job token with our NPM, Maven and Conan repositories. What do you currently use?

GitLab PM here - Agreed that is an important feature and one we have scheduled for milestone 13.1 which will be released in June 2020.

As a workaround, you can add your access token as an environment variable and use that to publish/install packages via CI/CD.

And if you are interested in contributing to GitLab that issue is a great way get started.

GitLab PM here for the Package stage. We announced that the Package Registry offering will be included in GitLab Core.

This means that for npm, Maven, NuGet, Conan and any future formats, you will be able to:

- Establish GitLab as a private repository - Authenticate using your GitLab credentials, personal access or job token - Publish packages to GitLab - Pull packages from GitLab - Search for packages hosted on GitLab - Access an easy-to-use UI that displays package details and metadata and allows you to download any relevant files

It does take a bit of work to migrate the code. We are currently investigating what work is required and will have a better sense of timing once the investigation is complete. We are hoping to have this complete in the next few months.

You can follow along in the issue here: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2867.

GitLab PM here: The GitHub registry looks really interesting. I like how they incorporated search and how they are encouraging people to host their packages on GitHub instead of npm.

At GitLab, the CE edition currently offers a container registry, that allows users to build, push and share images using the Docker client and/or GitLab CI/CD.

The EE edition offers an NPM and Maven registry, that allows users to publish, download and share dependencies. Both also integrate with GitLab CI/CD. We are currently working on Conan (C/C++) and NuGet (.NET). We are evaluating moving these features to CE as well.

We also offer a proxy to for Docker images (which will be extended to each registry) that improves reliability and performance and (in the future) will help mitigate and remediate open source risk.

If you end up trying GitHub's registry, I'd love to hear more about what you thought.

I'm still new to the all remote lifestyle, but so far I have really been loving it. I work for GitLab, which is entirely all remote and has no central office space. I suspect that may be different from a hybrid approach.

Aside from the benefits of being able to be around more with my family and to better handle life events, I've found that I enjoying working this way much more.

Working asynchronously forces people to really think about how and what they communicate. I've found that people, including myself, are much more prepared and thoughtful in their work.

I also find that there are way less distractions and that meetings with my coworkers are much more enjoyable. I thought I would have a hard time with the random 'coffee chat' but have come to really value them. It's a great way to be social and meet people, without the pressure of having to do it every day.

GitLab is working on support for Conan now. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8248

I'm the GitLab product manager for the Package, which includes the container registry. Thanks for the feedback! You can see the updated vision and direction for the container registry here: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/package/container_registr...

If you have any questions or feedback, you can email me at at [email protected]. I'd love to hear more about how you are using the docker registry today and any improvements you'd like to see made to the product.
