Overview

This node operation deletes tags from a container registry repository within a GitLab project. It is useful for managing and cleaning up container images by removing specific tags based on criteria such as tag name patterns, age, or quantity to keep. For example, it can delete all tags matching a regex or keep only the latest N tags, helping maintain a tidy and efficient container registry.

Use Case Examples

  1. Delete all tags matching a specific pattern from a repository.
  2. Keep only the latest 5 tags and delete older ones.
  3. Delete tags older than a specified duration, e.g., 1 month.
