Bigbang Gitlab deployed via flux by zarf

Deployment Prerequisites

GitLab Capability

The Gitlab Capability expects the pieces listed below to exist in the cluster before being deployed.

General

  • Create gitlab namespace
  • Label gitlab namespace with istio-injection: enabled

Database

  • A Postgres database is running on port 5432 and accessible to the cluster
  • This database can be logged into via the username configured with the zarf var GITLAB_DB_USERNAME. Default is gitlab
  • This database instance has a psql database created matching what is defined in the zarf var GITLAB_DB_NAME. Default is gitlabdb
  • The user has read/write access to the above mentioned database
  • Create gitlab-postgres service in gitlab namespace that points to the psql database
  • Create gitlab-postgres secret in gitlab namespace with the key password that contains the password to the user for the psql database

Redis / Redis Equivalent

  • An instance of Redis or Redis equivalent (elasticache, etc.) is running on port 6379 and accessible to the cluster
  • The redis instance accepts anonymous auth (password only)
  • Create gitlab-redis service in gitlab namespace that points to the redis instance
  • Create gitlab-redis secret in gitlab namespace with the key password that contains the password to the redis instance

Object Storage

Object Storage works a bit differently as there are many kinds of file stores gitlab can be configured to use.

  • Create the secret gitlab-object-store in the gitlab namespace with the following keys:
    • An example for in-cluster Minio can be found in this repository at the path utils/pkg-deps/gitlab/minio/secret.yaml
    • connection
      • This key refers to the configuration for the main gitlab service. The documentation for what goes in this key is located here
    • registry
      • This key refers to the configuration for the gitlab registry. The documentation for what goes in this key is located here
    • backups
      • This key refers to the configuration for the gitlab-toolbox backup tool. It relies on a program called s3cmd. The documentation for what goes in this key is located here
  • Below are the list of buckets that need to be created before starting GitLab:
    • uds-gitlab-pages
    • uds-gitlab-registry
    • uds-gitlab-lfs
    • uds-gitlab-artifacts
    • uds-gitlab-uploads
    • uds-gitlab-packages
    • uds-gitlab-mr-diffs
    • uds-gitlab-terraform-state
    • uds-gitlab-ci-secure-files
    • uds-gitlab-dependency-proxy
    • uds-gitlab-backups
    • uds-gitlab-tmp
  • These buckets can have a suffix applied via the BUCKET_SUFFIX zarf variable (e.x. -some-deployment-name plus uds-gitlab-backups would be uds-gitlab-backups-some-deployment-name)

Zarf and UDS.

If you don't have zarf or uds installed there are make targets to download the configured versions of those tools.

make build/zarf
make build/uds

This will place those binaries in the build directory. You can use those binaries there or place them on your PATH. You can also use brew to install these tools.

brew tap defenseunicorns/tap && brew install uds && brew install zarf

Use zarf to login to the needed registries i.e. registry1.dso.mil

# Login to the registry
set +o history

# registry1.dso.mil (To access registry1 images needed during build time)
export REGISTRY1_USERNAME="YOUR-USERNAME-HERE"
export REGISTRY1_TOKEN="YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"
echo $REGISTRY1_TOKEN | zarf tools registry login registry1.dso.mil --username $REGISTRY1_USERNAME --password-stdin

set -o history
