Move a GitLab project including container registry

This little post describes how to move ("transfer") a GitLab project to another subgroup, when that project includes a container registry with lots of container images. GitLab does not support moving projects with container images.

Prerequisites

Maintainer privileges on SOURCE_PROJECT and TARGET_PROJECT

Hyprland on Ubuntu 24.04

Hyprland is not available by default on Ubuntu 24.04 so instead we can utilize the Nix package manager and Home Manager.

Nix

The benefit of the Nix package manager compared to others in this case is that the package and dependencies of Nix packages is immutable and self contained. This means that the entire setup is contained to a separate /nix
