# Deploy Tokens
|
||
|
||
> [Introduced][ce-17894] in GitLab 10.7.
|
||
|
||
Deploy tokens allow to download (through `git clone`), or read the container registry images of a project without the need of having a user and a password.
|
||
|
||
Please note, that the expiration of deploy tokens happens on the date you define,
|
||
at midnight UTC and that they can be only managed by [maintainers](../../permissions.md).
|
||
|
||
## Creating a Deploy Token
|
||
|
||
You can create as many deploy tokens as you like from the settings of your project:
|
||
|
||
1. Log in to your GitLab account.
|
||
1. Go to the project you want to create Deploy Tokens for.
|
||
1. Go to **Settings** > **Repository**.
|
||
1. Click on "Expand" on **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. Click on **Create deploy token**.
|
||
1. Save the deploy token somewhere safe. Once you leave or refresh
|
||
the page, **you won't be able to access it again**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Revoking a deploy token
|
||
|
||
At any time, you can revoke any deploy token by just clicking the
|
||
respective **Revoke** button under the 'Active deploy tokens' area.
|
||
|
||
## Limiting scopes of a deploy token
|
||
|
||
Deploy tokens can be created with two different scopes that allow various
|
||
actions that a given token can perform. The available scopes are depicted in
|
||
the following table.
|
||
|
||
| Scope | Description |
|
||
| ----- | ----------- |
|
||
| `read_repository` | Allows read-access to the repository through `git clone` |
|
||
| `read_registry` | Allows read-access to [container registry] images if a project is private and authorization is required. |
|
||
|
||
## Deploy token custom username
|
||
|
||
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/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 such case you can specify custom username to be used when creating the deploy token.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
### Git clone a repository
|
||
|
||
To download a repository using a Deploy Token, you just need to:
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone http://<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'll need to:
|
||
|
||
1. Create a Deploy Token with `read_registry` as a scope.
|
||
1. Take note of your `username` and `token`.
|
||
1. Log in to GitLab’s Container Registry using the deploy token:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
docker login registry.example.com -u <username> -p <deploy_token>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Just replace `<username>` and `<deploy_token>` with the proper values. Then you can simply
|
||
pull images from your Container Registry.
|
||
|
||
### GitLab Deploy Token
|
||
|
||
> [Introduced][ce-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 will be
|
||
automatically exposed to the CI/CD jobs as environment variables: `CI_DEPLOY_USER` and
|
||
`CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD`, respectively. With the GitLab Deploy Token, the
|
||
`read_registry` scope is implied.
|
||
|
||
After you create the token, you can login to the Container Registry using
|
||
those variables:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
docker login -u $CI_DEPLOY_USER -p $CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
|
||
```
