Overview

This node operation deletes a specific container registry repository from a GitLab project. It is useful for managing container registries by removing unused or obsolete repositories to free up space and maintain organization. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this node to automate cleanup of container images in a CI/CD pipeline.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a container registry repository by specifying the project ID and repository ID to clean up storage.
  2. Automating the removal of container images from a GitLab project registry as part of a deployment process.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates if the deletion was successful
  • message - Response message or error details from the API

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication token or API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and repository ID are correct and exist in the GitLab instance.
  • Verify that the API token has sufficient permissions to delete container registry repositories.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance.
  • Common error messages include 404 Not Found if the project or repository does not exist, and 403 Forbidden if the token lacks permissions.
