### Authenticating to the Container Registry with GitLab CI/CD
There are three ways to authenticate to the Container Registry via
[GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/yaml/README.md) which depend on the visibility of
your project.
Available for all projects, though more suitable for public ones:

push to the Registry connected to your project. Its password is automatically

For private and internal projects:
- **Using the GitLab Deploy Token**: You can create and use a
[special deploy token](../../project/deploy_tokens/index.md#gitlab-deploy-token)
with your projects.
Once created, you can use the special environment variables, and GitLab CI/CD
fills them in for you. You can use the following example as-is:
```shell
docker login -u $CI_DEPLOY_USER -p $CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY

- **Using a personal access token**: You can create and use a
[personal access token](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md)
in case your project is private:
- For read (pull) access, the scope should be `read_registry`.
- For read/write (pull/push) access, use `api`.
- For write (push) access, the scope should be `write_registry`.
