Specifying a base domain will automatically set `KUBE_INGRESS_BASE_DOMAIN` as an environment variable.
If you are using [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md), this domain will be used for the different
stages. For example, Auto Review Apps and Auto Deploy.
The domain should have a wildcard DNS configured to the Ingress IP address. After ingress has been installed (see [Installing Applications](#installing-applications)),
you can either:

## Prerequisites
To run Knative on Gitlab, you will need:
To run Knative on Gitlab, you will need:
1.**Existing GitLab project:** You will need a GitLab project to associate all resources. The simplest way to get started:
- If you are planning on deploying functions, clone the [functions example project](https://gitlab.com/knative-examples/functions) to get started.
- If you are planning on deploying a serverless application, clone the sample [Knative Ruby App](https://gitlab.com/knative-examples/knative-ruby-app) to get started.
1.**Kubernetes Cluster:** An RBAC-enabled Kubernetes cluster is required to deploy Knative.
