# OpenShift support
|
|
|
|
OpenShift - GitLab compatibility can be addressed in three different aspects. This page helps navigating between these aspects and provides introductory information for getting started with OpenShift and GitLab.
|
|
|
|
## What is OpenShift
|
|
|
|
OpenShift helps you to develop, deploy, and manage container-based applications. It provides you with a self-service platform to create, modify, and deploy applications on demand, thus enabling faster development and release life cycles.
|
|
|
|
## Use OpenShift to run GitLab Self-Managed
|
|
|
|
Running GitLab within an OpenShift cluster is officially supported using the GitLab Operator. You can learn more on
|
|
[setting up GitLab on OpenShift on the GitLab Operator's documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/installation/operator.html).
|
|
Some components (documented on the GitLab Operator doc) are not supported yet.
|
|
|
|
## Deploy to and integrate with OpenShift from GitLab
|
|
|
|
Deploying custom or COTS applications on top of OpenShift from GitLab is supported using [the GitLab agent](../../user/clusters/agent/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Use OpenShift to run a GitLab Runner Fleet
|
|
|
|
The GitLab Operator does not include the GitLab Runner. To install and manage a GitLab Runner fleet in an OpenShift cluster, use the
|
|
[GitLab Runner Operator](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gl-openshift/gitlab-runner-operator).
|
|
|
|
## Unsupported GitLab features
|
|
|
|
### Secure and Protect
|
|
|
|
- License Compliance
|
|
- Code Quality scanning
|
|
- Cluster Image Scanning
|
|
|
|
### Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
When using OpenShift to run a GitLab Runner Fleet, we do not support some GitLab features given OpenShift's security model.
|
|
Features requiring Docker-in-Docker might not work.
|
|
|
|
For Auto DevOps, the following features are not supported yet:
|
|
|
|
- Auto Code Quality
|
|
- Auto License Compliance
|
|
- Auto Browser Performance Testing
|
|
- Auto Build
|
|
|
|
For Auto Build, there's a [possible workaround using `kaniko`](../../ci/docker/using_kaniko.md).
|
|
You can check the progress of the implementation in this [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/332560).
