If you would like to customize your install, which includes kubernetes ingress, please refer to the complete [Gitea helm chart configuration details](https://gitea.com/gitea/helm-chart/)
Gitea comes with a health check endpoint `/api/healthz`, you can configure it in kubernetes like this:
```yaml
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /api/healthz
port: http
initialDelaySeconds: 200
timeoutSeconds: 5
periodSeconds: 10
successThreshold: 1
failureThreshold: 10
```
a successful health check response will respond with http code `200`, here's example:
```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
"status": "pass",
"description": "Gitea: Git with a cup of tea",
"checks": {
"cache:ping": [
{
"status": "pass",
"time": "2022-02-19T09:16:08Z"
}
],
"database:ping": [
{
"status": "pass",
"time": "2022-02-19T09:16:08Z"
}
]
}
}
```
for more information, please reference to kubernetes documentation [Define a liveness HTTP request](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#define-a-liveness-http-request)
