I have a n00b question about setting up gitlab on a kubernetes. I'm running a basic minkube cluster on my home machine and I want to install gitlab onto it. The setup instructions note the following prequesite:
The ability to point a DNS entry or URL at your GitLab install
How do I do this? What is the basic mechanism for setting up a "DNS entry" on a home machine running minikube? There example shows:
externalUrl: 'http://gitlab.example.com'
If I own a domain how would I set this up? Why does the setup need an external URL?
Thank you in advance for you consideration and response.
You'll be setting it up with a nodeport and can access it normally through that. If you really want a DNS entry you can just add one in your hosts file at /etc/hosts:
[minikube ip] myfakelocalgitlabendpoint.comYou can get minikube's IP by running minikube ip.
