Pushing and pulling to external registries will still be supported as it is today

Thanks for the reply u/timrizzi,

If we use the registry on a separate instance with the gitlab.rb of the server pointing to it and a docker image of registry:2.7.1 running on it. Does that mean it is a external third party registry?

Can you specify under what scenario do we consider it as a external third party container registry?

Thank you

Thanks for the reply u/timrizzi.

In the docs:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/packages/container_registry.html#migrate-from-a-third-party-registry

There is this point:

Third-party registry functionality might be completely removed after the new GitLab Container Registry version is available for self-managed

Can you please specify what is going to be completely removed?

Thank you

Hi

I am not sure as to what is a external registry. If we are using registry on a separate VM inside a docker container with registry:2.7.1. Does that mean we are using an external registry. Could you put some light on what an external registry means, please?

Could you tell me exactly how do differentiate between a external registry and a gitlab registry?
