Group level Container Registry browser

Problem to solve

The GitLab Container Registry does not provide users the ability to view and pull images at the Group level. As a result, organizations that leverage groups/sub-groups are forced to navigate to individual projects to find the image they are looking for. This results in duplication of efforts or a lack of collaboration on sharing and promoting Docker images amongst teams.

Proposal

Similar to the GitLab Maven Repository, we will allow users to view and pull Docker images/tags at the group level. Users will still build and push images to a given project, but the images will be available for viewing and pulling at the group level.

In the UI, we will add Group -> Packages -> Container Registry below Group -> Packages -> List so that users can search, copy image/tag URLs and remove tags.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

  • Success looks like we see increased usage and adoption of the container registry UI. To start we will use page views as a basic metric.
