Gitea Helm Chart

Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. It is published under the MIT license.

Introduction

This helm chart has taken some inspiration from https://github.com/jfelten/gitea-helm-chart But takes a completely different approach in providing a database and cache with dependencies. Additionally, this chart provides LDAP and admin user configuration with values, as well as being deployed as a statefulset to retain stored repositories.

Dependencies

Gitea can be run with an external database and cache. This chart provides those dependencies, which can be enabled, or disabled via configuration.

Dependencies:

  • Postgresql
  • Memcached
  • Mysql

Installing

  helm repo add gitea-charts https://dl.gitea.io/charts/
  helm repo update
  helm install gitea gitea-charts/gitea

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.12+
  • Helm 3.0+
  • PV provisioner for persistent data support

Chart upgrade from 3.x.x to 4.0.0

⚠️ The most recent 4.0.0 update brings some breaking changes. Please note the following changes in the Chart to upgrade successfully. ⚠️

Ingress changes

To provide a more flexible Ingress configuration we now support not only host settings but also provide configuration for the path and pathType. So this change changes the hosts from a simple string list, to a list containing a more complex object for more configuration.

ingress:
  enabled: false
  annotations: {}
    # kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    # kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
-  hosts:
-    - git.example.com
+  hosts:
+    - host: git.example.com
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
  tls: []
  #  - secretName: chart-example-tls
  #    hosts:
  #      - git.example.com

If you want everything as it was before, you can simply add the following code to all your host entries.

paths:
  - path: /
    pathType: Prefix

Dropped kebab-case support

In 3.x.x it was possible to provide an ldap configuration via kebab-case, this support has now been dropped and only camel case is supported. See LDAP section for more information.

Dependency update

The chart comes with multiple databases and memcached as dependency, the latest release updated the dependencies.

  • memcached: 4.2.20 -> 5.9.0
  • postgresql: 9.7.2 -> 10.3.17
  • mariadb: 8.0.0 -> 9.3.6

If you're using the builtin databases you will most likely redeploy the chart in order to update the database correctly.

Execution of initPreScript

Generally spoken, this might not be a breaking change, but it is worth to be mentioned.
Prior to 4.0.0 only one init container was used to both setup directories and configure Gitea. As of now the actual Gitea configuration is separated from the other pre-execution. This also includes the execution of initPreScript. If you have such script, please be aware of this. Dynamically prepare the Gitea setup during execution by e.g. adding environment variables to the execution context won't work anymore.

Gitea Version 1.14.X repository ROOT

Previously the ROOT folder for the gitea repositories was located at /data/git/gitea-repositories 1.14 changed this to /data/gitea-repositories.

This chart will set the gitea.config.repository.ROOT value default to /data/git/gitea-repositories

Configure Commit Signing

When using the rootless image the gpg key folder was is not persistent by default. If you consider using signed commits for internal Gitea activities (e.g. initial commit), you'd need to provide a signing key. Prior to PR 186, imported keys had to be re-imported once the container got replaced by another.
The mentioned PR introduced a new configuration object signing allowing you to configure prerequisites for commit signing. By default this section is disabled to maintain backwards compatibility.

  signing:
    enabled: false
    gpgHome: /data/git/.gnupg

Examples

Gitea Configuration

Gitea offers lots of configuration options. This is fully described in the Gitea Cheat Sheet.

  gitea:
    config:
      APP_NAME: "Gitea: With a cup of tea."
      repository:
        ROOT: "~/gitea-repositories"
      repository.pull-request:
        WORK_IN_PROGRESS_PREFIXES: "WIP:,[WIP]:"

Default Configuration

This chart will set a few defaults in the gitea configuration based on the service and ingress settings. All defaults can be overwritten in gitea.config.

INSTALL_LOCK is always set to true, since we want to configure gitea with this helm chart and everything is taken care of.

All default settings are made directly in the generated app.ini, not in the Values.

Database defaults

If a builtIn database is enabled the database configuration is set automatically. For example, postgresql builtIn will appear in the app.ini as:

[database]
DB_TYPE = postgres
HOST = RELEASE-NAME-postgresql.default.svc.cluster.local:5432
NAME = gitea
PASSWD = gitea
USER = gitea

Memcached defaults

Memcached is handled the exact same way as database builtIn. Once memcached builtIn is enabled, this chart will generate the following part in the app.ini:

[cache]
ADAPTER = memcache
ENABLED = true
HOST = RELEASE-NAME-memcached.default.svc.cluster.local:11211

Server defaults

The server defaults are a bit more complex. If ingress is enabled, the ROOT_URL, DOMAIN and SSH_DOMAIN will be set accordingly. HTTP_PORT always defaults to 3000 as well as SSH_PORT to 22.

[server]
APP_DATA_PATH = /data
DOMAIN = git.example.com
HTTP_PORT = 3000
PROTOCOL = http
ROOT_URL = http://git.example.com
SSH_DOMAIN = git.example.com
SSH_LISTEN_PORT = 22
SSH_PORT = 22
ENABLE_PPROF = false

Metrics defaults

The Prometheus /metrics endpoint is disabled by default.

[metrics]
ENABLED = false

External Database

An external Database can be used instead of builtIn postgresql or mysql.

  gitea:
    database:
      builtIn:
        postgresql:
          enabled: false

    config:
      database:
        DB_TYPE: mysql
        HOST: 127.0.0.1:3306
        NAME: gitea
        USER: root
        PASSWD: gitea
        SCHEMA: gitea

Ports and external url

By default port 3000 is used for web traffic and 22 for ssh. Those can be changed:

  service:
    http:
      port: 3000
    ssh:
      port: 22

This helm chart automatically configures the clone urls to use the correct ports. You can change these ports by hand using the gitea.config dict. However you should know what you're doing.

ClusterIP

By default the clusterIP will be set to None, which is the default for headless services. However if you want to omit the clusterIP field in the service, use the following values:

service:
  http:
    type: ClusterIP
    port: 3000
    clusterIP:
  ssh:
    type: ClusterIP
    port: 22
    clusterIP:

SSH and Ingress

If you're using ingress and wan't to use SSH, keep in mind, that ingress is not able to forward SSH Ports. You will need a LoadBalancer like metallb and a setting in your ssh service annotations.

service:
  ssh:
    annotations:
      metallb.universe.tf/allow-shared-ip: test

SSH on crio based kubernetes cluster

If you use crio as container runtime it is not possible to read from a remote repository. You should get an error message like this:

$ git clone git@k8s-demo.internal:admin/test.git
Cloning into 'test'...
Connection reset by 192.168.179.217 port 22
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

To solve this problem add the capability SYS_CHROOT to the securityContext. More about this issue here.

Cache

This helm chart can use a built in cache. The default is memcached from bitnami.

  gitea:
    cache:
      builtIn:
        enabled: true

If the built in cache should not be used simply configure the cache in gitea.config

  gitea:
    config:
      cache:
        ENABLED: true
        ADAPTER: memory
        INTERVAL: 60
        HOST: 127.0.0.1:9090

Persistence

Gitea will be deployed as a statefulset. By simply enabling the persistence and setting the storage class according to your cluster everything else will be taken care of. The following example will create a PVC as a part of the statefulset. This PVC will not be deleted even if you uninstall the chart.

Please note, that an empty storageClass in the persistence will result in kubernetes using your default storage class.

If you want to use your own storageClass define it as followed:

persistence:
  enabled: true
  storageClass: myOwnStorageClass

When using Postgresql as dependency, this will also be deployed as a statefulset by default.

If you want to manage your own PVC you can simply pass the PVC name to the chart.

  persistence:
    enabled: true
    existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaClaim

In case that peristence has been disabled it will simply use an empty dir volume.

Postgresql handles the persistence in the exact same way. You can interact with the postgres settings as displayed in the following example:

  postgresql:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaPostgresClaim

Mysql also handles persistence the same, even though it is not deployed as a statefulset. You can interact with the postgres settings as displayed in the following example:

  mysql:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaMysqlClaim

Admin User

This chart enables you to create a default admin user. It is also possible to update the password for this user by upgrading or redeloying the chart. It is not possible to delete an admin user after it has been created. This has to be done in the ui. You cannot use admin as username.

  gitea:
    admin:
      username: "MyAwesomeGiteaAdmin"
      password: "AReallyAwesomeGiteaPassword"
      email: "gi@tea.com"

You can also use an existing Secret to configure the admin user:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: gitea-admin-secret
type: Opaque
stringData:
  username: MyAwesomeGiteaAdmin
  password: AReallyAwesomeGiteaPassword
gitea:
    admin:
      existingSecret: gitea-admin-secret

LDAP Settings

Like the admin user the LDAP settings can be updated, but also disabled or deleted. All LDAP values from https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#admin are available.

  gitea:
    ldap:
      enabled: true
      name: 'MyAwesomeGiteaLdap'
      securityProtocol: unencrypted
      host: "127.0.0.1"
      port: "389"
      userSearchBase: ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
      userFilter: sAMAccountName=%s
      adminFilter: CN=Admin,CN=Group,DC=example,DC=com
      emailAttribute: mail
      bindDn: CN=ldap read,OU=Spezial,DC=example,DC=com
      bindPassword: JustAnotherBindPw
      usernameAttribute: CN
      sshPublicKeyAttribute: sshPublicKey

You can also use an existing secret to set the bindDn and bindPassword:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: gitea-ldap-secret
type: Opaque
stringData:
  bindDn: CN=ldap read,OU=Spezial,DC=example,DC=com
  bindPassword: JustAnotherBindPw
gitea:
    ldap:
      existingSecret: gitea-ldap-secret

⚠️ Some options are just flags and therefore don't any values. If they are defined in gitea.ldap configuration, they will be passed to the gitea cli without any value. Affected options:

  • notActive
  • skipTlsVerify
  • allowDeactivateAll
  • synchronizeUsers
  • attributesInBind

OAuth2 Settings

Like the admin user, OAuth2 settings can be updated and disabled but not deleted. Deleting OAuth2 settings has to be done in the ui. All OAuth2 values from https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/command-line/#admin are available.

  gitea:
    oauth:
      enabled: true
      name: 'MyAwesomeGiteaOAuth'
      provider: 'openidConnect'
      key: 'hello'
      secret: 'world'
      autoDiscoverUrl: 'https://gitea.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration'
      #useCustomUrls:
      #customAuthUrl:
      #customTokenUrl:
      #customProfileUrl:
      #customEmailUrl:

Metrics and profiling

A Prometheus /metrics endpoint on the HTTP_PORT and pprof profiling endpoints on port 6060 can be enabled under gitea. Beware that the metrics endpoint is exposed via the ingress, manage access using ingress annotations for example.

To deploy the ServiceMonitor, you first need to ensure that you have deployed prometheus-operator and its CRDs: https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator#customresourcedefinitions.

gitea:
  metrics:
    enabled: true
    serviceMonitor:
      enabled: true

  config:
