Summary

The git.nrw Container Registry enables you to build, store, and deploy Docker container images directly alongside your code, simplifying your CI/CD workflows. To register a container use:

registry.git.nrw

You can use the integrated container registry to store container images for each GitLab project. The container registry supports the Docker V2 and Open Container Initiative (OCI) image formats.

View the container registry

To view the container registry for a project or group:

  1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your project or group.
  2. Select Deploy > Container Registry.

You can search, sort, filter, and delete your container images. You can share a filtered view by copying the URL from your browser. If the container registry isn’t visible in your projects sidebar, it may have been hidden for your role inside the project or disabled for the project altogether.

Use container images from the container registry

To download and run a container image hosted in the container registry:

  1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your project or group.
  2. Select Deploy > Container Registry.
  3. Find the container image you want to work with and select Copy image path.
  4. Use docker run with the copied link.
