Gerrit Operator

❗ Please refer to EDP documentation to get the notion of the main concepts and guidelines.

Get acquainted with the Gerrit Operator and the installation process as well as the local development, and architecture scheme.

Overview

Gerrit Operator is an EDP operator that is responsible for installing and configuring Gerrit. Operator installation can be applied on OpenShift container orchestration platform.

NOTE: Operator is platform-independent, that is why there is a unified instruction for deploying.

Prerequisites

1. Linux machine or Windows Subsystem for Linux instance with Helm 3 installed;
2. Cluster admin access to the cluster;
3. EDP project/namespace is deployed by following the Install EDP instruction.
4. Make sure Git FSMonitor feature is turned off. This is due to limitations of go-git.

Installation

In order to install the EDP Gerrit Operator, follow the steps below:

1. To add the Helm EPAMEDP Charts for local client, run "helm repo add":

   helm repo add epamedp https://epam.github.io/edp-helm-charts/stable

2. Choose available Helm chart version:

   helm search repo epamedp/gerrit-operator -l
