OK, so however thought up the structure of the #Gitlab helm chart was ... creative, to put it politely.

The chart itself has dependencies, as is common with helm charts.
But it also has a charts directory, which contains 5 other charts. Including one called gitlab.
Which again has a charts directory as well as dependencies.

So, depending on which chart you want to configure, it might be chart-name.something or gitlab.chart-name.something. Oh, they also use global.something or global.chart-name.something.

And as this is not creative enough, some charts are installed if chart-name.install is true. For some it is chart-name.enabled...

But help is near, there is an operator, that does the heavy lifting for you. Oh wait, it uses the values from the helm chart of its CRD...

In other words, I think I have a working Gitlab-on-k3s setup using Vagrant. In case you want to try for yourself...

Needs a LOT of cleanup, but once that is done, I'll publish to the usual places (codeberg, github).

Here you are: Vagrant-Setup with Ansible deploying k3s and GitLab inside k3s.

Currently without the Runner, that comes next.

OK, I managed to improve lots of things in those setups and make the setup more reliable (even in case it takes really really long for everything to be up).

Now with four branches, one for Gitlab installed via helm chart and one using the Gitlab Operator.
And each of them with and without a Gitlab Runner being installed into the cluster.
