# Installing GitLab on Kubernetes
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
NOTE: **Kubernetes experience required:**
Our Helm charts are recommended for those who are familiar with Kubernetes.
If you're not sure if Kubernetes is for you, our

[Omnibus GitLab packages](../README.md#installing-gitlab-using-the-omnibus-gitlab-package-recommended)
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
are mature, scalable, support [high availability](../../administration/high_availability/README.md)
and are used today on GitLab.com.
It is not necessary to have GitLab installed on Kubernetes in order to use [GitLab Kubernetes integration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/index.html).

The easiest method to deploy GitLab on [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) is
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
to take advantage of GitLab's Helm charts. [Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/README.md)
is a package management tool for Kubernetes, allowing apps to be easily managed via their
Charts. A [Chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts) is a detailed description
of the application including how it should be deployed, upgraded, and configured.

## GitLab Chart

This chart contains all the required components to get started, and can scale to
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
large deployments. It offers a number of benefits, among others:
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
- Horizontal scaling of individual components.
- No requirement for shared storage to scale.
- Containers do not need `root` permissions.
- Automatic SSL with Let's Encrypt.
- An unprivileged GitLab Runner.

## GitLab Runner Chart

2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
If you already have a GitLab instance running, inside or outside of Kubernetes,
and you'd like to leverage the Runner's
[Kubernetes capabilities](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html),
it can be deployed with the GitLab Runner chart.
