Review quickstart
-
Read Configure secrets for the GitLab chart, Configure the GitLab chart with an external NGINX Ingress Controller
-
Check existings resources
kubectl get all -n gitlab
kubectl get Issuers,ClusterIssuers,Certificates,CertificateRequests,Orders,Challenges -n gitlab-
Having an external cert-manager et certificate issuer doesn't work with GitLab official chart
-
In case of strange issues, look at gitlab-webservice pod, in particular gitlab-workhorse container
