The best way to deploy GitLab on Kubernetes is to use the [gitlab-omnibus](gitlab_omnibus.md) chart. It includes everything needed to run GitLab, including: a [Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/), [Container Registry](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/container_registry.html#gitlab-container-registry), [automatic SSL](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/kube-lego), and an [Ingress](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/tree/master/controllers/nginx). This chart is in beta while [additional features](https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/issues/68) are being completed.
To deploy just the GitLab Runner, utilize the [gitlab-runner](gitlab_runner_chart.md) chart. It offers a quick way to configure and deploy the Runner on Kubernetes, regardless of where your GitLab server may be running.
If advanced configuration of GitLab is required, the beta [gitlab](gitlab_chart.md) chart can be used which deploys the GitLab service along with optional Posgres and Redis. It offers extensive configuration, but requires deep knowledge of Kubernetes and Helm to use.
