Installing Gitpod in an air-gap network with the Gitpod Installer

Mirror Gitpod Images

You need a registry that is reachable in your network. Add the domain of your registry to the Gitpod config gitpod.config.yaml like this:

repository: your-registry.example.com

The command gitpod-installer mirror list gives you a list of all images needed by Gitpod. You can run the following code to pull the needed images and push them to your registry:

for row in $(gitpod-installer mirror list --config gitpod.config.yaml | jq -c '.[]'); do
    original=$(echo $row | jq -r '.original')
    target=$(echo $row | jq -r '.target')

    docker pull $original
    docker tag $original $target
    docker push $target
done

Install Gitpod in Air-Gap Mode

To install Gitpod in an air-gap network, you need to configure the repository of the images needed by Gitpod (see previous step). Add this to your Gitpod config:

repository: your-registry.example.com

That's it. Run the following commands as usual and Gitpod fetches the images from your registry and does not need internet access to operate:

gitpod-installer render --config gitpod.config.yaml > gitpod.yaml
kubectl apply -f gitpod.yaml
