Change example custom Container Registry port to 5010

Mike Lockhart | GitLab requested to merge doc-increment-registry-port into master

What does this MR do?

This changes the example port number change in our Container Registry configuration guide, from 5001 to 5010.

The main reason to change this port is to fix a conflict with other software installed together with the container registry of GitLab, on the same computer. For example, we've seen that data-dog uses 5000, and 5001. The change makes the example code work in the case of an administrator who just copy/pastes the code snippets when following the guide: we can set them up for success instead of a second collision which we already know about.

This also avoids conflicting with the GitLab Registry debug server further down the page, which uses 5001 as well.

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
