images do support Docker autobuild on `hub.docker.com` and Gitlab's
private registry.
-Gitlab CI will build and tag a Docker by default for every job if the
-`SKIP_DOCKER` variable is not set to `false`. In Coq's CI, this
-variable is usually set to `false` indeed to avoid booting a useless
-job.
+The Gitlab CI will build a docker image unless the CI environment variable
+`SKIP_DOCKER` is set to `true`. This image will be
+stored in the [Gitlab container registry](https://gitlab.com/coq/coq/container_registry)
+under the name given by the `CACHEKEY` variable from
+the [Gitlab CI configuration file](../../../.gitlab-ci.yml).
+
+In Coq's default CI, `SKIP_DOCKER` is set so as to avoid running a lengthy redundant job.
+
+It can be used to regenerate a fresh Docker image on Gitlab through the following steps.
+- Change the `CACHEKEY` variable to a fresh name in the CI configuration in a new commit.
+- Push this commit to a Github PR. This will trigger a Gitlab CI run that will
+ immediately fail, as the Docker image is missing and the `SKIP_DOCKER`
+ default value prevents rebuilding the image.
+- Run a new pipeline on Gitlab with that PR branch, using the green "Run pipeline"
+ button on the [web interface](https://gitlab.com/coq/coq/pipelines),
+ with the `SKIP_DOCKER` environment variable set to `false`. This will run a `docker-boot` process, and
+ once completed, a new Docker image will be available in the container registry,
+ with the name set in `CACHEKEY`.
+- Any pipeline with the same `CACHEKEY` will now automatically reuse that
+ image without rebuilding it from scratch.
+
+For documentation purposes, we also require keeping in sync the `CACHEKEY` comment
+from the first line of the [Dockerfile](bionic_coq/Dockerfile) in the same
+commit.
+
+In case you do not have the rights to run Gitlab CI pipelines, you should ask
+the ci-maintainers Github team to do it for you.
