You can publish and share packages, which can be easily consumed as a dependency in downstream projects. The Package Registry supports the following formats:
You can also use the [API](../../api/packages.md) to administer the Package Registry. ## Accepting contributions The below table lists formats that are not supported, but are accepting Community contributions for. Consider contributing to GitLab. This [development documentation](../../development/packages.md) guides you through the process. | Format | Status | | ------ | ------ | | Chef | [#36889](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36889) | | CocoaPods | [#36890](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36890) | | Conda | [#36891](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36891) | | CRAN | [#36892](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36892) | | Debian | [Draft: Merge Request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/50438) | | Helm | [#18997](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/18997) | | Opkg | [#36894](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36894) | | P2 | [#36895](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36895) | | Puppet | [#36897](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36897) | | RPM | [#5932](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5932) | | SBT | [#36898](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36898) | | Terraform | [Draft: Merge Request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/18834) | | Vagrant | [#36899](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36899) | ## Container Registry The GitLab [Container Registry](container_registry/index.md) is a secure and private registry for container images. It's built on open source software and completely integrated within GitLab. Use GitLab CI/CD to create and publish images. Use the GitLab [API](../../api/container_registry.md) to manage the registry across groups and projects. ## Dependency Proxy The [Dependency Proxy](dependency_proxy/index.md) is a local proxy for frequently-used upstream images and packages.
