Installation with Helm (on Kubernetes)

Gitea provides a Helm Chart to allow for installation on kubernetes.

A non-customized install can be done with:

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

If you would like to customize your install, which includes kubernetes ingress, please refer to the complete Gitea helm chart configuration details

Health check endpoint

Gitea comes with a health check endpoint /api/healthz, you can configure it in kubernetes like this:

  1.   livenessProbe:
  2.     httpGet:
  3.       path: /api/healthz
  4.       port: http
  5.     initialDelaySeconds: 200
  6.     timeoutSeconds: 5
  7.     periodSeconds: 10
  8.     successThreshold: 1
  9.     failureThreshold: 10

a successful health check response will respond with http code 200, here’s example:

  1. HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  3. {
  4.   "status": "pass",
  5.   "description": "Gitea: Git with a cup of tea",
  6.   "checks": {
  7.     "cache:ping": [
  8.       {
  9.         "status": "pass",
  10.         "time": "2022-02-19T09:16:08Z"
  11.       }
  12.     ],
  13.     "database:ping": [
  14.       {
  15.         "status": "pass",
  16.         "time": "2022-02-19T09:16:08Z"
  17.       }
  18.     ]
  19.   }
  20. }
