+# Docker Registry for a secondary node
+
+You can setup a [Docker Registry](https://docs.docker.com/registry/) on your
+secondary Geo node that mirrors the one on the primary Geo node.
+
+## Storage support
+
+CAUTION: **Warning:**
+If you use [local storage](../administration/container_registry.md#container-registry-storage-driver)
+for the Container Registry you **cannot** replicate it to the secondary Geo node.
+
+Docker Registry currently supports a few types of storages. If you choose a
+distributed storage (`azure`, `gcs`, `s3`, `swift`, or `oss`) for your Docker
+Registry on a primary Geo node, you can use the same storage for a secondary
+Docker Registry as well. For more information, read the
+[Load balancing considerations](https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/#load-balancing-considerations)
+when deploying the Registry, and how to setup the storage driver for GitLab's
+integrated [Container Registry](../administration/container_registry.md#container-registry-storage-driver).
