GitLab setup for Kubernetes

GitLab is the first single application built from the ground up for all stages of the DevOps lifecycle for Product, Development, QA, Security, and Operations teams to work concurrently on the same project. GitLab enables teams to collaborate and work from a single conversation, instead of managing multiple threads across different tools. GitLab provides teams with a single data store, one user interface, and one permission model across the DevOps lifecycle allowing teams to collaborate, significantly reducing cycle time and focus exclusively on building great software quickly.

Here is a quick Tutorial that will teach you how to deploy Gitlab within Kubernetes Environment.

Requirements:

1. Working Kubernetes Cluster

2. Storage Class: We will use it for stateful deployment.

Here Git repository that I used to build Gitlab.

#Clone gitlab_k8s repo

git clone https://github.com/jaganthoutam/gitlab_k8s.git

cd gitlab_k8s

gitlab-pvc.yaml Contains the pv,pvc voulmes for postgres,gitlab,redis..

Here I am using my NFS(nfs01.thoutam.loc) server…

You can use other storage classes based on your cloud Providers.
