The gitlab chart is the best way to operate GitLab on Kubernetes. This chart contains all the required components to get started, and can scale to large deployments.
Some of the key benefits of this chart and corresponding containers are:
- Improved scalability and reliability
- No requirement for root privileges
- Utilization of object storage instead of NFS for storage
The default deployment includes:
- Core GitLab components: Unicorn, Shell, Workhorse, Registry, Sidekiq, and Gitaly
- Optional dependencies: Postgres, Redis, Minio
- An auto-scaling, unprivileged GitLab Runner using the Kubernetes executor
- Automatically provisioned SSL via Let's Encrypt.
See architecture documentation for an overview of this project goals and architecture.
Some features of GitLab are not currently available:
- GitLab Pages
- GitLab Geo
- No in-cluster HA database
- MySQL will not be supported, as support is deprecated within GitLab
