Marc Schäfer e3d14a6cb0 chore(self-host/manual/kubernetes): Refactor documentation for Pangolin and Newt Kubernetes deployment
- Updated titles and descriptions for clarity and consistency across Helm, Kustomize, and troubleshooting guides.
- Enhanced the overview section to better describe deployment options and components.
- Revised prerequisites to streamline requirements for deploying Pangolin and Sites (Newt).
- Improved clarity on storage, networking, and security requirements, including detailed RBAC and NetworkPolicy considerations.
- Removed deprecated sections and added new information regarding Gerbil and proxy protocol handling.
- Adjusted resource planning guidelines to reflect best practices for Kubernetes deployments.

title: "GitOps Overview"
description: "Deploy Pangolin and Sites (Newt) with GitOps workflows such as Argo CD or Flux."

Use GitOps when Pangolin and Sites (Newt) should be reconciled from Git instead of being installed manually from a local shell.
Can be used together with Blueprints — see [Blueprint config reference](/self-host/advanced/config-file) for details.
These guides assume you already use, or plan to use, a GitOps controller such as Argo CD or Flux.
General GitOps concepts such as reconciliation, desired state, and Git-driven workflows are outside the scope of this documentation. Refer to your GitOps controller's documentation for those concepts.

## What GitOps manages
A GitOps workflow can reconcile the same deployment inputs used by the other Kubernetes guides:
| Input | Used for |
| --- | --- |
| Helm chart values | Configure Pangolin, controller mode, database mode, ingress, Sites, and related components. |
| Kustomize overlays | Patch or compose rendered manifests for environment-specific deployments. |
| Kubernetes Secrets | Provide credentials, TLS material, database connection details, or Site connector credentials. |
| Custom resources | Manage Argo CD Applications, Flux HelmReleases, Flux Kustomizations, or related controller resources. |
## Recommended layout
Keep the Pangolin and Site configuration close to the cluster or environment that owns it.
```text
infrastructure/
├── clusters/
│ ├── production/
│ │ ├── pangolin/
│ │ └── sites/
│ ├── staging/
│ │ ├── pangolin/
│ │ └── sites/
│ └── dev/
│ ├── pangolin/
│ └── sites/
└── shared/
├── pangolin/
└── sites/
```
Use environment-specific directories for values, patches, and secrets that differ between clusters. Use shared directories only for reusable configuration that should stay the same across environments.
