Container Registry

Publish Open Container Initiative compliant images for your user or organization. The container registry follows the OCI specs and supports all compatible images like Docker and Helm Charts.

To work with the Container registry, you can use the tools for your specific image type. The following examples use the docker client.

To push an image or if the image is in a private registry, you have to authenticate:

Terminal window
docker login gitea.example.com

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.

Images must follow this naming convention:

{registry}/{owner}/{image}

When building your docker image, using the naming convention above, this looks like:

Terminal window
# build an image with tag
docker build -t {registry}/{owner}/{image}:{tag} .
# name an existing image with tag
docker tag {some-existing-image}:{tag} {registry}/{owner}/{image}:{tag}

where your registry is the domain of your gitea instance (e.g. gitea.example.com). For example, these are all valid image names for the owner testuser:

gitea.example.com/testuser/myimage

gitea.example.com/testuser/my-image

gitea.example.com/testuser/my/image

Push an image by executing the following command:

Terminal window
docker push gitea.example.com/{owner}/{image}:{tag}
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the image.
image The name of the image.
tag The tag of the image.

For example:

Terminal window
docker push gitea.example.com/testuser/myimage:latest

Pull an image by executing the following command:

Terminal window
docker pull gitea.example.com/{owner}/{image}:{tag}
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the image.
image The name of the image.
tag The tag of the image.

For example:

Terminal window
docker pull gitea.example.com/testuser/myimage:latest
