Gitea

Gitea is an open source git server.

Setup

It can easily be installed using helm. Copy the following text into a file called helm_gitea.yaml.

ingress:
  enabled: true
  # className: nginx
  className:
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "selfsigned-issuer"
    # kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    # kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
  hosts:
    - host: gitea-127-0-0-1.nip.io
      paths:
        - path: /
          pathType: Prefix
  tls:
    - secretName: gitea-127-0-0-1-nip-io-tls
      hosts:
        - gitea-127-0-0-1.nip.io
gitea:
  admin:
    username: gitea_admin
    password: password123
    email: "gitea@local.domain"
postgresql-ha:
  enabled: false
postgresql:
  enabled: true

Execute the following command to install gitea.

helm repo add gitea-charts https://dl.gitea.com/charts/
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install --create-namespace \
-n gitea -f helm_gitea.yaml gitea gitea-charts/gitea

Follow the setup with the command kubectl get pods -n gitea -w. When all pods are in running mode, access to gitea is possible via gitea-127-0-0-1.nip.io. This requires minikube tunnel to be active. Use the credentials you did set in the values file above.

Using the git server with ssh (port 22) is a bit more complex and will not be covered in this tutorial. Use http connection for try outs.

Play

You can now add gitea as another remote to the current repository you are in and push it to gitea.

Tear down

Remove the helm chat as follows.

helm uninstall -n gitea gitea
