Using the Mailroom chart

The Mailroom Chart handles incoming email.

Configuring KEDA

This keda section enables the installation of KEDA ScaledObjects instead of regular HorizontalPodAutoscalers. This configuration is optional and can be used when there is a need for autoscaling based on custom or external metrics.

Most settings default to the values set in the hpa section where applicable.

If the following are true, CPU and memory triggers are added automatically based on the CPU and memory thresholds set in the hpa section:

• triggers is not set.
• The corresponding request.cpu.request or request.memory.request setting is also set to a non-zero value.

If no triggers are set, the ScaledObject is not created.

Refer to the KEDA documentation for more details about those settings.

Incoming email

By default, incoming email is disabled. There are two methods for reading incoming email:

• IMAP
• Microsoft Graph

First, enable it by setting the common settings. Then configure the IMAP settings or Microsoft Graph settings.

These methods can be configured in values.yaml. See the following examples:

• Incoming email with IMAP
• Incoming email with Microsoft Graph

IMAP

To enable incoming e-mail for IMAP, provide details of your IMAP server and access credentials using the global.appConfig.incomingEmail settings.

In addition, the requirements for the IMAP email account should be reviewed to ensure that the targeted IMAP account can be used by GitLab for receiving email. Several common email services are also documented on the same page to aid in setting up incoming email.

The IMAP password will still need to be created as a Kubernetes Secret as described in the secrets guide.

Microsoft Graph

See the GitLab documentation on creating an Azure Active Directory application.

Provide the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret. You can find details for these settings in the command line options.

Create a Kubernetes secret containing the client secret as described in the secrets guide.

Reply-by-email

To use the reply-by-email feature, where users can reply to notification emails to comment on issues and MRs, you need to configure both outgoing email and incoming email settings.

Service Desk email

By default, the Service Desk email is disabled.

As with incoming e-mail, enable it by setting the common settings. Then configure the IMAP settings or Microsoft Graph settings.

These options can also be configured in values.yaml. See the following examples:

• Service Desk with IMAP
• Service Desk with Microsoft Graph

Service Desk email requires that Incoming email be configured.

IMAP

Provide details of your IMAP server and access credentials using the global.appConfig.serviceDeskEmail settings. You can find details for these settings in the command line options.

Create a Kubernetes secret containing IMAP password as described in the secrets guide.

Microsoft Graph

See the GitLab documentation on creating an Azure Active Directory application.

Provide the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret using the global.appConfig.serviceDeskEmail settings. You can find details for these settings in the command line options.

You will also have to create a Kubernetes secret containing the client secret as described in the secrets guide.

serviceAccount

This section controls if a ServiceAccount should be created and if the default access token should be mounted in pods.

affinity
