How do i get docker registry username and password in gitlab.com?

Question

I want to login to docker registry in gitlab.com using ansible play, but how do i get docker registry username and password in gitlab?

Is it same as gitlab.com username and password?

Answer 1

Registry credentials in GitLab are the same as the repositories they belong to. So, you can use your GitLab.com username and password.

That said, you should probably create a personal access token with only read_registry permissions to use with Ansible, instead of literally using your account credentials, to limit what Ansible can do. And, you can revoke the token if it leaks.
