Github Container Registry <--> App Platform

Hamed Montazeri

It should be possible to deploy apps directly from GitHub container registry. As many ppl use workflows for CI & CD.

This feature is already implemented as of 2024

My CI is building the image, I don't understand why I should redo it in DO.

I second this. We have prebuilt Docker images published to GitHub Containers and we have to re-build them on DigitalOcean for no real reason (and consume minutes for doing so)

Digital Ocean container registry pricing which jumps to $5 when more than one image loaded (which is necessary when loading a new image) is unreasonable.  Competitors charge for this would be a fraction.
Workaround of upgrading before upload and downgrading after empty garbage is a wate of developer time.
Loading from GitHub would be much more convenient.

Thanks to all the comments from the DO community! The App Platform team is currently performing discovery for this request. We appreciate and are excited to build the best products for our community. I will provide updates as available.

Tarrek (Product Manager): Any news on this? It was a huge downer when I found out that ghcr is not supported.

This needs to be implemented ASAP. There's already existing support for plugging in other container registries for DockerHub.
The most likely reason this hasn't been implemented yet is that DigitalOcean knows they can't compete with GitHub's container registry pricing, but they can with Docker's. 
It's very anti-consumer and annoyingly obvious behavior.

I would love to see this implemented with other private registries like gitlab

I second this request. It would be a huge improvement to be able to re-use the github (or any other compatible) registry.
