The GitLab Container Registry

The GitLab Container Registry originated as a fork of the Docker Distribution Registry, now CNCF Distribution, both distributed under Apache License Version 2.0. The first GitLab change on top of the upstream implementation was efe421fd, and since then we have diverged enough to the point where we decided to detach from upstream and proceed on our own path. Since then, we have implemented and released several major performance improvements and bug fixes. For a list of changes, please see differences from upstream (<a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/blob/master/docs/upstream-differences.md">https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/blob/master/docs/upstream-differences.md</a> ). These changes culminated on a new architecture based on a relational metadata database and the original goal, enabling online garbage collection (<a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/blob/master/docs/spec/gitlab/online-garbage-collection.md">https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/blob/master/docs/spec/gitlab/online-garbage-collection.md</a> ).
