About migration from the Docker registry

{% data reusables.package_registry.container-registry-replaces-docker-registry %} If you've stored Docker images in the Docker registry, {% ifversion docker-ghcr-enterprise-migration %}an enterprise owner{% else %}{% data variables.product.company_short %}{% endif %} will gradually migrate the images to the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %}. No action is required on your part.

{% ifversion docker-ghcr-enterprise-migration %}

{% note %}

Note: {% data reusables.package_registry.container-registry-ghes-migration-availability %} For more information about finding the version of {% data variables.product.product_name %} that you use, see "About versions of {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}."

After a Docker image has been migrated to the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %}, you'll see the following changes to the details for the package.

• The icon will be the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %} logo instead of the Docker logo.
• The domain in the pull URL will be {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry_namespace %} instead of {% data variables.product.prodname_docker_registry_namespace %}.

{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}

{% endif %}

{% data reusables.package_registry.container-registry-migration-namespaces %}

{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}

After migration, you'll no longer be able to use the GraphQL API to query for packages with a PackageType of "DOCKER". Instead, you can use the REST API to query for packages with a package_type of "container". For more information, see "Packages" in the REST API documentation.
