Additional step when install GitLab Runner using KAS
What does this MR do?
We have a method to install GitLab Runner using Kubernetes Agent. In this method, we used helm template
to generate the resources.
However, when running helm template --namespace target-namespace chart
, the output doesn't include the namespace on the generated resources. Here is an example:
helm template --namespace gitlab-runner runner gitlab/gitlab-runner
# Source: gitlab-runner/templates/configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: runner-gitlab-runner
labels:
app: runner-gitlab-runner
chart: gitlab-runner-0.31.0
release: "runner"
heritage: "Helm"
In this case, KAS will deploy GitLab Runner in the default
namespace.
Here is the Github issue regarding this behavior of helm template
: Closed helm template --namespace should set the 'metadata.namespace' field on created resources
As per this comment, it seems that there is no plan to fix this on the side of Helm.

Author's checklist
-
Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course -
Follow the: -
Ensure that the product tier badge is added to topic's h1
. -
Request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"feature"
~"frontend"
~"backend"
~"bug"
~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Review checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.

-
Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review. -
Ensure a release milestone is set.
