# Installing GitLab in Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest method to deploy GitLab in [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) is
|
||
|
|
to take advantage of the official GitLab Helm charts. [Helm] is a package
|
||
|
|
management tool for Kubernetes, allowing apps to be easily managed via their
|
||
|
|
Charts. A [Chart] is a detailed description of the application including how it
|
||
|
|
should be deployed, upgraded, and configured.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GitLab Helm repository is located at https://charts.gitlab.io.
|
||
|
|
You can report any issues related to GitLab's Helm Charts at
|
||
|
|
https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/issues.
|
||
|
|
Contributions and improvements are also very welcome.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the charts, the Helm tool must be installed and initialized. The best
|
||
|
|
place to start is by reviewing the [Helm Quick Start Guide][helm-quick].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Add the GitLab Helm repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once Helm has been installed, the GitLab chart repository must be added:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
helm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After adding the repository, Helm must be re-initialized:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
helm init
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using the GitLab Helm Charts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GitLab makes available two Helm Charts, one for the GitLab server and another
|
||
|
|
for the Runner. More detailed information on installing and configuring each
|
||
|
|
Chart can be found below:
