# Continuwuity for Kubernetes
Continuwuity doesn't support horizontal scalability or distributed loading
natively. However, a deployment in Kubernetes is very similar to the docker
setup. This is because Continuwuity can be fully configured using environment
variables. A sample StatefulSet is shared below. The only thing missing is
a PVC definition (named `continuwuity-data`) for the volume mounted to
the StatefulSet, an Ingress resources to point your webserver to the
Continuwuity Pods, and a Service resource (targeting `app.kubernetes.io/name: continuwuity`)
to glue the Ingress and Pod together.
Carefully go through the `env` section and add, change, and remove any env vars you like using the [Configuration reference](https://continuwuity.org/reference/config.html)

Apart from manually configuring the containers,
[a community-maintained Helm Chart is available here to run
conduwuit on Kubernetes](https://gitlab.cronce.io/charts/conduwuit)
This should be compatible with Continuwuity, but you will need to change the image reference.
If changes need to be made, please reach out to the maintainer, as this is not maintained or controlled by the Continuwuity maintainers.
