+### Global Configuration
+
+Set `global.imageRegistry` to pull images from a shared registry:
+
+```yaml
+global:
+  imageRegistry: "registry.example.com:5000"
+```
+
+The override replaces an explicit registry (such as `ghcr.io`) or prefixes an
+unqualified image. Repository paths, tags and digests are preserved. For example,
+`lmcache/lmstack-router:latest` becomes
+`registry.example.com:5000/lmcache/lmstack-router:latest`.
+Mirror images at their corresponding repository paths before enabling this option.
+
+This applies to the router, serving engines, cache server, LoRA controller and
+sidecar, Ray head and worker containers, and their init containers. An empty
+value (the default) leaves configured images unchanged. Continue to configure
+`imagePullSecrets` per component when authentication is required.
+
+Helm also passes global values to dependencies. The bundled
+`kube-prometheus-stack` supports this setting. The bundled `prometheus-adapter`
+requires its own `prometheus-adapter.image.repository` override. Images in
+user-supplied `extraObjects` are not rewritten.
