Where I work we've (relatively) recently migrated to using GitLab EE which comes with its own container registry[1]. I have no idea how much work it is behind the scenes from my perspective it has been flawless and much more convenient.

We've been using it where I work for a few months and have recently moved to Artifactory. Mainly because GitLab's registry makes it very very painful to remove old images, (you have to remove them from the UI one by one), especially when the number of registries and images grows.

We know that this is a real problem for many users. We plan to resolve it as soon as possible. For now you can use our custom tool that removes old revisions, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/docker-distribution-pruner.

We also have a few issues about this, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25322 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20247.

I hope it helps!

It is available in Gitlab CE too - we don't use it yet as we already have one in-house, but we might migrate in future.
