# Deploying GitLab in multiple clusters

## Deploying GitLab with Istio service mesh

1. `helm` install

```bash
helm -n gitlab template gitlab gitlab/gitlab -f values.yml --version 6.4.1 > gitlab-6.4.1.yml

helm install gitlab gitlab/gitlab -f values.yml --version 6.4.1 -n gitlab
helm upgrade --install gitlab gitlab/gitlab -f values.yml --version 6.4.1 -n gitlab
```

Make sure you can login into GitLab

1. Credentials

```bash
user: root
password: kubectl get secret -n gitlab gitlab-gitlab-initial-root-password -ojsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 --decode ; echo
```

1. Get self-signed CA

```bash
kubectl -n gitlab get secret gitlab-wildcard-tls-ca -ojsonpath='{.data.cfssl_ca}'
```

## Deploying Gateway "ingress"

1. Configure the `gateway`

```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: gitlab-gateway
spec:
  selector:
    istio: ingressgateway # use Istio default gateway implementation
  servers:
  - port:
      number: 80
      name: http
      protocol: HTTP
    hosts:
    - "gitlab.elitebook.tokyo.lab"
```

```bash
kubectl apply -f gitlab-gateway.yml -n gitlab
```

1. Configure the `gateway routes`

```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: gitlab
spec:
  hosts:
  - "gitlab.elitebook.tokyo.lab"
  gateways:
  - gitlab-gateway
  http:
  - match:
    - uri:
        prefix: /
    route:
    - destination:
        port:
          number: 8181
        host: gitlab-webservice-default
```

```bash
kubectl apply -f gitlab-gateway-routes.yml -n gitlab
```

## Configure `istio` sidecars

1. `helm templates`

```bash
helm -n gitlab template gitlab gitlab/gitlab -f values.yml --version 6.4.1 > gitlab-6.4.1.yml
```

1. get `mesh-config` values

```bash
kubectl -n istio-system get configmap istio-sidecar-injector -o=jsonpath='{.data.config}' > inject-config.yaml
kubectl -n istio-system get configmap istio-sidecar-injector -o=jsonpath='{.data.values}' > inject-values.yaml
kubectl -n istio-system get configmap istio -o=jsonpath='{.data.mesh}' > mesh-config.yaml
```

1. inject `istio` side cars

```bash
istioctl kube-inject \
    --injectConfigFile inject-config.yaml \
    --meshConfigFile mesh-config.yaml \
    --valuesFile inject-values.yaml \
    --filename gitlab-6.4.1.yml \
    | kubectl -n gitlab apply -f -
```
