A Kubernetes cluster, version 1.8 or higher. 6vCPU and 16GB of RAM is recommended. - - [Amazon EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html) - - [Google GKE](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/creating-a-container-cluster) - - [IBM IKS](https://console.bluemix.net/docs/tutorials/scalable-webapp-kubernetes.html#create_kube_cluster) - - [Microsoft AKS](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/kubernetes-walkthrough-portal) -1.

For example, `example.com` if the wild card entry is - `*.example.com`. -- `global.hosts.externalIP`: the [external IP](preparation/networking.md) which - the wildcard DNS resolves to. -- `certmanager-issuer.email`: the email address to use when requesting new SSL - certificates from Let's Encrypt. - -NOTE: **Note:** -For deployments to Amazon EKS, there are -[additional configuration requirements](preparation/eks.md). A full list of -configuration options is [also available](https://gitlab.com/charts/gitlab/blob/master/doc/installation/command-line-options.md). - -Once you have all of your configuration options collected, you can get any -dependencies and run helm. In this example, the helm release is named "gitlab": - -```sh -helm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io/ -helm repo update -helm upgrade --install gitlab gitlab/gitlab \ - --timeout 600 \ - --set global.hosts.domain=example.com \ - --set global.hosts.externalIP=10.10.10.10 \ - --set certmanager-issuer.email=email@example.com -``` - -### Monitoring the Deployment - -This will output the list of resources installed once the deployment finishes, -which may take 5-10 minutes. - -The status of the deployment can be checked by running `helm status gitlab` -which can also be done while the deployment is taking place if you run the -command in another terminal. - -### Initial login - -You can access the GitLab instance by visiting the domain name beginning with -`gitlab.` followed by the domain specified during installation. From the example -above, the URL would be `https://gitlab.example.com`. - -If you manually created the secret for initial root password, you -can use that to sign in as `root` user. If not, GitLab automatically -created a random password for `root` user.

Configuration of the DNS entry will depend upon -the DNS service being used. - -#### External IP (recommended) - -To provision an external IP on GCP and Azure, simply request a new address from -the Networking section. Ensure that the region matches the region your container -cluster is created in. It is important that the IP is not assigned at this point -in time. It will be automatically assigned once the Helm chart is installed, -and assigned to the Load Balancer. - -Now that an external IP address has been allocated, ensure that the wildcard -DNS entry you would like to use resolves to this IP. Please consult the -documentation for your DNS service for more information on creating DNS records. - -Finally, set the `baseIP` setting to this IP address when -[deploying GitLab](#configuring-and-installing-gitlab). - -#### Load Balancer IP - -If you do not specify a `baseIP`, an IP will be assigned to the Load Balancer or -Ingress. You can retrieve this IP by running the following command *after* deploying GitLab: - -```sh -kubectl get svc -w --namespace nginx-ingress nginx -``` - -The IP address will be displayed in the `EXTERNAL-IP` field, and should be used -to configure the Wildcard DNS entry. For more information on creating a wildcard -DNS entry, consult the documentation for the DNS server you are using. - -For production deployments of GitLab, we strongly recommend using a -[external IP](#external-ip-recommended). - -## Configuring and Installing GitLab - -For most installations, two parameters are required: - -- `baseDomain`: the [base domain](#networking-requirements) of the wildcard host entry. For example, `mycompany.io` if the wild card entry is `*.mycompany.io`. -- `legoEmail`: Email address to use when requesting new SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt. - -Other common configuration options: - -- `baseIP`: the desired [external IP address](#external-ip-recommended) -- `gitlab`: Choose the [desired edition](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing), either `ee` or `ce`. `ce` is the default. -- `gitlabEELicense`: For Enterprise Edition, the [license](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/license.html) can be installed directly via the Chart -- `provider`: Optimizes the deployment for a cloud provider. The default is `gke` for [Google Kubernetes Engine](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/), with `acs` also supported for the [Azure Container Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-service/). - -For additional configuration options, consult the -[`values.yaml`](https://gitlab.com/charts/gitlab-omnibus/blob/master/values.yaml). - -### Choosing a different GitLab release version - -The version of GitLab installed is based on the `gitlab` setting (see [section](#configuring-and-installing-gitLab) above), and -the value of the corresponding helm setting: `gitlabCEImage` or `gitabEEImage`. - -```yaml -gitlab: CE -gitlabCEImage: gitlab/gitlab-ce:9.5.2-ce.0 -gitlabEEImage: gitlab/gitlab-ee:9.5.2-ee.0 -``` - -The different images can be found in the [gitlab-ce](https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce/tags/) and [gitlab-ee](https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ee/tags/) -repositories on Docker Hub. - -### Persistent storage - -NOTE: **Note:** -If you are using a machine type with support for less than 4 attached disks, -like an Azure trial, you should disable dedicated storage for Postgres and Redis. - -By default, persistent storage is enabled for GitLab and the charts it depends -on (Redis and PostgreSQL). Components can have their claim size set from your -`values.yaml`, along with whether to provision separate storage for Postgres and Redis. - -Basic configuration: - -```yaml -redisImage: redis:3.2.10 -redisDedicatedStorage: true -redisStorageSize: 5Gi -postgresImage: postgres:9.6.3 -# If you disable postgresDedicatedStorage, you should consider bumping up gitlabRailsStorageSize -postgresDedicatedStorage: true -postgresStorageSize: 30Gi -gitlabRailsStorageSize: 30Gi -gitlabRegistryStorageSize: 30Gi -gitlabConfigStorageSize: 1Gi -``` - -### Routing and SSL - -Ingress routing and SSL are automatically configured within this Chart. An NGINX -ingress is provisioned and configured, and will route traffic to any service. -SSL certificates are automatically created and configured by -[kube-lego](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/kube-lego). - -NOTE: **Note:** -Let's Encrypt limits a single TLD to five certificate requests within a single -week. This means that common DNS wildcard services like [nip.io](http://nip.io) -and [xip.io](http://xip.io) are unlikely to work. - -## Installing GitLab using the Helm Chart - -NOTE: **Note:** -You may see a temporary error message `SchedulerPredicates failed due to PersistentVolumeClaim is not bound` -while storage provisions. Once the storage provisions, the pods will automatically start. -This may take a couple minutes depending on your cloud provider. If the error persists, -please review the [requirements sections](#requirements) to ensure you have enough RAM, CPU, and storage. - -Add the GitLab Helm repository and initialize Helm: - -```bash -helm init -helm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io -``` - -Once you have reviewed the [configuration settings](#configuring-and-installing-gitlab), -you can install the chart. We recommending saving your configuration options in a -`values.yaml` file for easier upgrades in the future: - -```bash -helm install --name gitlab -f values.yaml gitlab/gitlab-omnibus -``` - -Or you can pass them on the command line: - -```bash -helm install --name gitlab --set baseDomain=gitlab.io,baseIP=192.0.2.1,gitlab=ee,gitlabEELicense=$LICENSE,legoEmail=email@gitlab.com gitlab/gitlab-omnibus -``` - -## Updating GitLab using the Helm Chart - -If you are upgrading from a previous version to 0.1.35 or above, you will need to -change the access mode values for GitLab's storage. To do this, set the following -in `values.yaml` or on the CLI: - -```sh -gitlabDataAccessMode=ReadWriteMany -gitlabRegistryAccessMode=ReadWriteMany -gitlabConfigAccessMode=ReadWriteMany -``` - -Once your GitLab Chart is installed, configuration changes and chart updates -should be done using `helm upgrade`: - -```sh -helm upgrade -f values.yaml gitlab gitlab/gitlab-omnibus -``` - -## Upgrading from CE to EE using the Helm Chart - -If you have installed the Community Edition using this chart, upgrading to -Enterprise Edition is easy. - -If you are using a `values.yaml` file to specify the configuration options, edit -the file and set `gitlab=ee`.
