+## Using self-signed certificates with Container Registry
+
+If you're using a self-signed certificate with your Container Registry, you
+might encounter issues during the CI jobs like the following:
+
+```
+Error response from daemon: Get registry.example.com/v1/users/: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
+```
+The Docker daemon running the command expects a cert signed by a recognized CA,
+thus the error above.
+While GitLab doesn't support using self-signed certificates with Container
+Registry out of the box, it is possible to make it work if you follow
+[Docker's documentation][docker-insecure]. You may find some additional
+information in [issue 18239][ce-18239].
