Add a GitLab Packages Channel

What You Need Before You Start

You only need three things:

Requirement	Purpose
GitLab account	Used to generate an access token and own the project.
GitLab Personal Access Token	Used by ImgBed to access the GitLab API, create projects, and upload files to Generic Packages.
Project name	You can enter only the project name, for example imgbed.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Sign in to GitLab and Create an Access Token

1. Sign in to GitLab.
2. Click your avatar in the upper-right corner and open Preferences.
3. Open Access Tokens from the left sidebar.
4. Give the token a recognizable name.
5. Choose an expiration date based on your own maintenance preference.
6. Select the api scope.
7. Copy and save the token immediately after it is created.

Step 2: Fill in the GitLab Packages Channel in ImgBed

After selecting GitLab Packages in Upload Settings, fill in the fields as follows:

UI Field	What to Enter
Channel name	A name you choose, such as GitLabPrimary.
Access Token	The GitLab Personal Access Token you just created.
Project name	Either a short project name such as imgbed, or a full path such as username/imgbed.
Private repository	Turn on or off based on your needs.
Remark	Optional, for example Primary upload channel.

Step 3: Save the Channel

After filling in the fields, click Save.

The system will handle these details:

System Behavior	Description
Short project name	ImgBed identifies the current GitLab account and expands the value into a full project path.
Full project path	ImgBed uses the username/project path exactly as entered.
Project check	If you use the current personal account path, ImgBed automatically creates the project when it does not exist. If you enter a full path manually, ImgBed uses that path directly.
Public/private state	Project visibility is synchronized according to the current switch.
