GitLab package registry administration | GitLab Docs

To use GitLab as a private repository for a variety of common package managers, use the package registry. You can build and publish packages, which can be consumed as dependencies in downstream projects.

Supported formats

The package registry supports the following formats:

The package registry is also used to store model registry data.

Accepting contributions

The following table lists package formats that are not supported. Consider contributing to GitLab to add support for these formats.

Rate limits

When downloading packages as dependencies in downstream projects, many requests are made through the Packages API. You may therefore reach enforced user and IP rate limits. To address this issue, you can define specific rate limits for the Packages API. For more details, see package registry rate limits.

Enable or disable the package registry

The package registry is enabled by default. To disable it:

  1. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:

    # Change to true to enable packages - enabled by default if not defined
    gitlab_rails['packages_enabled'] = false
  2. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab:

    sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  1. Export the Helm values:

    helm get values gitlab > gitlab_values.yaml
  2. Edit gitlab_values.yaml:

    global:
      appConfig:
        packages:
          enabled: false
  3. Save the file and apply the new values:

    helm upgrade -f gitlab_values.yaml gitlab gitlab/gitlab
  1. Edit docker-compose.yml:

    version: "3.6"
    services:
      gitlab:
        environment:
          GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
            gitlab_rails['packages_enabled'] = false
  2. Save the file and restart GitLab:

  1. Edit /home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml:

    production: &base
      packages:
        enabled: false
  2. Save the file and restart GitLab:

    # For systems running systemd
    sudo systemctl restart gitlab.target
    
    # For systems running SysV init
    sudo service gitlab restart
Change the storage path

By default, the packages are stored locally, but you can change the default local location or even use object storage.

Change the local storage path

By default, the packages are stored in a local path, relative to the GitLab installation:

To change the local storage path:

  1. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and add the following line:

    gitlab_rails['packages_storage_path'] = "/mnt/packages"
  2. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab:

    sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  1. Edit /home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml:

    production: &base
      packages:
        enabled: true
        storage_path: /mnt/packages
  2. Save the file and restart GitLab:

    # For systems running systemd
    sudo systemctl restart gitlab.target
    
    # For systems running SysV init
    sudo service gitlab restart

If you already had packages stored in the old storage path, move everything from the old to the new location to ensure existing packages stay accessible:

mv /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/packages/* /mnt/packages/

Docker and Kubernetes do not use local storage.

Use object storage

Instead of relying on the local storage, you can use an object storage to store packages.

For more information, see how to use the consolidated object storage settings.

Migrate packages between object storage and local storage

After configuring object storage, you can use the following tasks to migrate packages between local and remote storage. The processing is done in a background worker and requires no downtime.

Migrate to object storage
  1. Migrate the packages to object storage:

    sudo gitlab-rake "gitlab:packages:migrate"
    RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:packages:migrate
  2. Track the progress and verify that all packages migrated successfully using the PostgreSQL console:

    sudo gitlab-rails dbconsole
    sudo gitlab-rails dbconsole --database main
    RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u git -H psql -d gitlabhq_production
  3. Verify that all packages migrated to object storage with the following SQL query. The number of objectstg should be the same as total:

    SELECT count(*) AS total,
           sum(case when file_store = '1' then 1 else 0 end) AS filesystem,
           sum(case when file_store = '2' then 1 else 0 end) AS objectstg
    FROM packages_package_files;

    Example output:

    total | filesystem | objectstg
    ------+------------+-----------
     34   |          0 |        34
  4. Finally, verify that there are no files on disk in the packages directory:

    sudo find /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/packages -type f | grep -v tmp | wc -l
    sudo -u git find /home/git/gitlab/shared/packages -type f | grep -v tmp | wc -l
Migrate from object storage to local storage
  1. Migrate the packages from object storage to local storage:

    sudo gitlab-rake "gitlab:packages:migrate[local]"
    RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake "gitlab:packages:migrate[local]"
  2. Track the progress and verify that all packages migrated successfully using the PostgreSQL console:

    sudo gitlab-rails dbconsole
    sudo gitlab-rails dbconsole --database main
    RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u git -H psql -d gitlabhq_production
  3. Verify that all packages migrated to local storage with the following SQL query. The number of filesystem should be the same as total:

    SELECT count(*) AS total,
           sum(case when file_store = '1' then 1 else 0 end) AS filesystem,
           sum(case when file_store = '2' then 1 else 0 end) AS objectstg
    FROM packages_package_files;

    Example output:

    total | filesystem | objectstg
    ------+------------+-----------
     34   |         34 |         0
  4. Finally, verify that the files exist in the packages directory:

    sudo find /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/packages -type f | grep -v tmp | wc -l
    sudo -u git find /home/git/gitlab/shared/packages -type f | grep -v tmp | wc -l
