# Gitea Helm Chart

[Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/) is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. It is published under the MIT license.

## Introduction

This helm chart has taken some inspiration from https://github.com/jfelten/gitea-helm-chart
But takes a completly different approach in providing database and cache with dependencies.
Also this chart provides ldap and admin user configuration with values as well as it is deployed as statefulset to retain stored repositories.

## Dependencies

Gitea can be run with external database and cache. This chart provides those dependencies, which can be
enabled, or disabled via [configuration](#configuration).

Dependencies:

* Postgresql
* Memcached
* Mysql

## Installing

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

## Prerequisites

* Kubernetes 1.12+
* Helm 3.0+
* PV provisioner for persistent data support

## Examples

### Gitea Configuration

Gitea offers lots of configuration. This is fully described in the [Gitea Cheat Sheet](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/).

```yaml
  gitea:
    config:
      APP_NAME: "Gitea: With a cup of tea."
      repository:
        ROOT: "~/gitea-repositories"
      repository.pull-request:
        WORK_IN_PROGRESS_PREFIXES: "WIP:,[WIP]:"
```

### Default Configuration

This chart will set a few defaults in the gitea configuration based on the service and ingress settings. All defaults can be overwritten in gitea.config.

INSTALL_LOCK is always set to true, since we want to configure gitea with this helm chart and everything is taken care of.

*All default settings are made directly in the generated app.ini, not in the Values.*

#### Database defaults

If a builtIn database is enabled the database configuration is set automatically. For example postgresql builtIn which will appear in the app.ini as:

```
[database]
DB_TYPE = postgres
HOST = RELEASE-NAME-postgresql.default.svc.cluster.local:5432
NAME = gitea
PASSWD = gitea
USER = gitea
```

#### Memcached defaults

Memcached is handled the exakt same way as database builtIn. Once memcached builtIn is enabled, this chart will generate the following part in the app.ini:

```
[cache]
ADAPTER = memcache
ENABLED = true
HOST = RELEASE-NAME-memcached.default.svc.cluster.local:11211
```

#### Server defaults

The server defaults are a bit more complex.
If ingress is enabled, the ROOT_URL, DOMAIN and SSH_DOMAIN will be set accordingly. HTTP_PORT always defaults to 3000 as well as SSH_PORT to 22.

```
[server]
APP_DATA_PATH = /data
DOMAIN = git.example.com
HTTP_PORT = 3000
PROTOCOL = http
ROOT_URL = http://git.example.com
SSH_DOMAIN = git.example.com
SSH_LISTEN_PORT = 22
SSH_PORT = 22
```

### External Database

An external Database can be used instead of builtIn postgresql or mysql.

```yaml
  gitea:
    database:
      builtIn:
        postgresql:
          enabled: false

    config:
      database:
        DB_TYPE: mysql
        HOST: 127.0.0.1:3306
        NAME: gitea
        USER: root
        PASSWD: gitea
        SCHEMA: gitea
```

### Ports and external url

By default port 3000 is used for web traffic and 22 for ssh. Those can be changed:

```yaml
  service:
    http: 
      port: 3000
    ssh:
      port: 22
```

This helmchart automatically configures the clone urls to use the correct ports. You can change these ports by hand using the gitea.config dict. However you should know what you're doing.

### Cache

This helm chart can use a built in cache. The default is memcached from bitnami.

```yaml
  gitea:
    cache:
      builtIn:
        enabled: true
```

If the built in cache should not be used simply configure the cache in gitea.config

```yaml
  gitea:
    config:
      cache:
        ENABLED: true
        ADAPTER: memory
        INTERVAL: 60
        HOST: 127.0.0.1:9090
```

### Persistence

Gitea will be deployed as a statefulset. By simply enabling the persistence and setting the storage class according to your cluster
everything else will be taken care of. The following example will create a PVC as a part of the statefulset. This PVC will not be deleted
even if you uninstall the chart.
When using Postgresql as dependency, this will also be deployed as a statefulset by default. 

If you want to manage your own PVC you can simply pass the PVC name to the chart. 

```yaml
  persistence:
    enabled: true
    existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaClaim
```

In case that peristence has been disabled it will simply use an empty dir volume.

Postgresql handles the persistence in the exact same way. 
You can interact with the postgres settings as displayed in the following example:

```yaml
  postgresql:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaPostgresClaim
```

Mysql also handles persistence the same, even though it is not deployed as a statefulset.
You can interact with the postgres settings as displayed in the following example:

```yaml
  mysql:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: MyAwesomeGiteaMysqlClaim
```

### Admin User

This chart enables you to create a default admin user. It is also possible to update the password for this user by upgrading or redeloying the chart.
It is not possible to delete an admin user after it has been created. This has to be done in the ui.

```yaml
  gitea:
    admin:
      username: "MyAwesomeGiteaAdmin"
      password: "AReallyAwesomeGiteaPassword"
      email: "gi@tea.com"
```

### LDAP Settings

Like the admin user the ldap settings can be updated but also disabled or deleted.

```yaml
  gitea:
    ldap:
      enabled: true
      name: 'MyAwesomeGiteaLdap'
      securityProtocol: unencrypted
      host: "127.0.0.1"
      port: "389"
      userSearchBase: ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
      userFilter: sAMAccountName=%s
      adminFilter: CN=Admin,CN=Group,DC=example,DC=com
      emailAttribute: mail
      bindDn: CN=ldap read,OU=Spezial,DC=example,DC=com
      bindPassword: JustAnotherBindPw
      usernameAttribute: CN
```

### Pod Annotations

Annotations can be added to the Gitea pod.

```yaml
  gitea:
    podAnnotations: {}
```
