deploying the cloud native helm chart is great, but I would like to configure gitlab to use crowd and I am unsure that the methods referenced in the documentation is relevant to the helm chart deploy.

The basic documentation suggests simply editing gitlab.rb

  • https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/auth/crowd.html
  • https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/auth/crowd.html

The docker documentation suggests you can achieve the same thing wrapped in a docker exec

sudo docker exec -it gitlab vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

The documentation for the helm unicorn subchart suggests that --set or a nice values block is your friend but does not seem to include how to specify the URL etc. as the previous documentation illustrates.

specifically the link between step 3 in configuring gitlab for crowd and how to implement that in a values block or via the --set cli options.

Please can this be clarified.
