• Ingress class

Configure the GitLab Operator with GitLab Geo

The requirements, limitations and Geo configuration of the Operator are the same as for the GitLab chart.

To deploy Geo sites with the Operator, apply the Helm chart values to the GitLab custom resource by setting the spec.chart.values.

Ingress class

The GitLab Operator does not come with an IngressClass of the secondary NGINX Ingress.

This controller and IngressClass are only needed if:

1. You want to use a unified URL for GitLab Geo.
2. Your primary Ingress controller overrides incoming X-Forwarded-For headers (the bundled default NGINX chart does).

The process of creating the IngressClass depends on your installation method:

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: IngressClass
metadata:
  name: <gitlab-name>-nginx-geo
spec:
  controller: k8s.io/ingress-nginx-geo
EOF

nginx-ingress:
  geo:
    ingressClass:
      enabled: true
