With the Docker Container Registry integrated into GitLab, every project can
have its own space to store its Docker images.

## Change the registry's internal port
> **Note:**
This is not to be confused with the port that GitLab itself uses to expose
the Registry to the world.
The Registry server listens on localhost at port `5000` by default,
which is the address for which the Registry server should accept connections.
In the examples below we set the Registry's port to `5001`.
**Omnibus GitLab**
1. Open `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and set `registry['registry_http_addr']`:
```ruby
registry['registry_http_addr'] = "localhost:5001"
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
