Installation with Helm (on Kubernetes)

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

A non-customized install can be done with:

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

  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"
}
]
}
}
