|
|
|
|
Deploy tokens allow you to download (`git clone`) or push and pull packages and
|
|
container registry images of a project without having a user and a password.
|
|
|
|
Deploy tokens can be managed by [maintainers only](../../permissions.md).
|
|
|
|
Deploy tokens cannot be used with the GitLab API.
|
|
|
|
If you have a key pair, you might want to use [deploy keys](../../project/deploy_keys/index.md)
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Deploy token
|
|
|
|
You can create as many deploy tokens as you need from the settings of your
|
|
project. Alternatively, you can also create [group-scoped deploy tokens](#group-deploy-token).
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your GitLab account.
|
|
1. Go to the project (or group) you want to create deploy tokens for.
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > Repository**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Deploy tokens** section.
|
|
1. Choose a name, expiry date (optional), and username (optional) for the token.
|
|
1. Choose the [desired scopes](#limiting-scopes-of-a-deploy-token).
|
|
1. Select **Create deploy token**.
|
|
1. Save the deploy token somewhere safe. After you leave or refresh
|
|
the page, **you can't access it again**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deploy token expiration
|
|
|
|
Deploy tokens expire at midnight UTC on the date you define.
|
|
|
|
## Revoking a deploy token
|
|
|
|
To revoke a deploy token, under the **Active deploy tokens** area,
|
|
select the respective **Revoke** button.
|
|
|
|
## Limiting scopes of a deploy token
|
|
|
|
Deploy tokens can be created with different scopes that allow various actions
|
|
that a given token can perform. The available scopes are depicted in the
|
|
following table along with GitLab version it was introduced in:
|
|
|
|
| Scope | Description | Introduced in GitLab Version |
|
|
|--------------------------|-------------|------------------------------|
|
|
| `read_repository` | Allows read-access to the repository through `git clone` | 10.7 |
|
|
| `read_registry` | Allows read-access to [container registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md) images if a project is private and authorization is required. | 10.7 |
|
|
| `write_registry` | Allows write-access (push) to [container registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md). | 12.10 |
|
|
| `read_package_registry` | Allows read access to the package registry. | 13.0 |
|
|
| `write_package_registry` | Allows write access to the package registry. | 13.0 |
|
|

## Deploy token custom username
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/29639) in GitLab 12.1.
|
|
|
|
The default username format is `gitlab+deploy-token-{n}`. Some tools or
|
|
platforms may not support this format; in this case you can specify a custom
|
|
username to be used when creating the deploy token.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Git clone a repository
|
|
|
|
To download a repository using a deploy token:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a deploy token with `read_repository` as a scope.
|
|
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
|
1. `git clone` the project using the deploy token:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://<username>:<deploy_token>@gitlab.example.com/tanuki/awesome_project.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<username>` and `<deploy_token>` with the proper values.
|
|
|
|
### Read Container Registry images
|
|
|
|
To read the container registry images, you must:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a deploy token with `read_registry` as a scope.
|
|
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
|
1. Sign in to the GitLab Container Registry using the deploy token:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker login -u <username> -p <deploy_token> registry.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<username>` and `<deploy_token>` with the proper values. You can now
|
|
pull images from your Container Registry.
|
|
|
|
### Push Container Registry images
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22743) in GitLab 12.10.
|
|
|
|
To push the container registry images, you must:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a deploy token with `write_registry` as a scope.
|
|
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
|
1. Sign in to the GitLab Container Registry using the deploy token:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker login -u <username> -p <deploy_token> registry.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<username>` and `<deploy_token>` with the proper values. You can now
|
|
push images to your Container Registry.
|
|
|
|
### Read or pull packages
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213566) in GitLab 13.0.
|
|
|
|
To pull packages in the GitLab package registry, you must:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a deploy token with `read_package_registry` as a scope.
|
|
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
|
1. For the [package type of your choice](../../packages/index.md), follow the
|
|
authentication instructions for deploy tokens.
|
|
|
|
Example request publishing a NuGet package using a deploy token:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nuget source Add -Name GitLab -Source "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/10/packages/nuget/index.json" -UserName deploy-token-username -Password 12345678asdf
|
|
|
|
nuget push mypkg.nupkg -Source GitLab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Push or upload packages
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213566) in GitLab 13.0.
|
|
|
|
To upload packages in the GitLab package registry, you must:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a deploy token with `write_package_registry` as a scope.
|
|
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
|
1. For the [package type of your choice](../../packages/index.md), follow the
|
|
authentication instructions for deploy tokens.
|
|
|
|
### Group deploy token
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21765) in GitLab 12.9.
|
|
|
|
A deploy token created at the group level can be used across all projects that
|
|
belong either to the specific group or to one of its subgroups.
|
|
|
|
<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
|
|
For an overview, see [Group Deploy Tokens](https://youtu.be/8kxTJvaD9ks).
|
|
|
|
The Group deploy tokens UI is now accessible under **Settings > Repository**,
|
|
not **Settings > CI/CD** as indicated in the video.
|
|
|
|
To use a group deploy token:
|
|
|
|
1. [Create](#creating-a-deploy-token) a deploy token for a group.
|
|
1. Use it the same way you use a project deploy token when
|
|
[cloning a repository](#git-clone-a-repository).
|
|
|
|
The scopes applied to a group deploy token (such as `read_repository`)
|
|
apply consistently when cloning the repository of related projects.
|
|
|
|
### GitLab deploy token
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/18414) in GitLab 10.8.
|
|
|
|
There's a special case when it comes to deploy tokens. If a user creates one
|
|
named `gitlab-deploy-token`, the username and token of the deploy token is
|
|
automatically exposed to the CI/CD jobs as CI/CD variables: `CI_DEPLOY_USER`
|
|
and `CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
After you create the token, you can sign in to the Container Registry by using
|
|
those variables:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker login -u $CI_DEPLOY_USER -p $CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
The special handling for the `gitlab-deploy-token` deploy token is not
|
|
implemented for group deploy tokens. To make the group-level deploy token available for
|
|
CI/CD jobs, the `CI_DEPLOY_USER` and `CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD` variables should be set under **Settings** to the name and token of the group deploy token respectively.
