+# Dependency Proxy **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/7934) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.11.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+This is the user guide. In order to use the dependency proxy, an administrator
+must first [configure it](../../../administration/dependency_proxy.md).
+
+For many organizations, it is desirable to have a local proxy for frequently used
+upstream images/packages. In the case of CI/CD, the proxy is responsible for
+receiving a request and returning the upstream image from a registry, acting
+as a pull-through cache.
+
+The dependency proxy is available in the group level. To access it, navigate to
+a group's **Overview > Dependency Proxy**.

+
+## Supported dependency proxies
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+For a list of the upcoming additions to the proxies, visit the
+[direction page](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/package/dependency_proxy/#top-vision-items).
+
+The following dependency proxies are supported.
+
+| Dependency proxy | GitLab version |
+| ---------------- | -------------- |
+| Docker           | 11.11+         |
+
+## Using the Docker dependency proxy
+
+With the Docker dependency proxy, you can use GitLab as a source for a Docker image.
+To get a Docker image into the dependency proxy:
+
+1. Find the proxy URL on your group's page under **Overview > Dependency Proxy**,
+   for example `gitlab.com/groupname/dependency_proxy/containers`.
+1. Trigger GitLab to pull the Docker image you want (e.g., `alpine:latest` or
+   `linuxserver/nextcloud:latest`) and store it in the proxy storage by using
+   one of the following ways:
+
+   - Manually pulling the Docker image:
+
+     ```bash
+     docker pull gitlab.com/groupname/dependency_proxy/containers/alpine:latest
+     ```
+
+   - From a `Dockerfile`:
+
+     ```bash
+     FROM gitlab.com/groupname/dependency_proxy/containers/alpine:latest
+     ```
+
+   - In [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#image):
+
+     ```bash
+     image: gitlab.com/groupname/dependency_proxy/containers/alpine:latest
+     ```
+
+GitLab will then pull the Docker image from Docker Hub and will cache the blobs
+on the GitLab server. The next time you pull the same image, it will get the latest
+information about the image from Docker Hub but will serve the existing blobs
+from GitLab.
+
+The blobs are kept forever, and there is no hard limit on how much data can be
+stored.
+
+## Limitations
+
+The following limitations apply:
+
+- Only public groups are supported (authentication is not supported yet).
+- Only Docker Hub is supported.
+- This feature requires Docker Hub being available.
