+A Gerrit replica has been deployed.
+=================================
+
+The Apache-Git-HTTP-Backend is now ready to receive replication requests from the
+primary Gerrit. Please configure the replication plugin of the primary Gerrit to
+push the repositories to:
+
+{{ if .Values.istio.enabled -}}
+  http {{- if .Values.istio.tls.enabled -}} s {{- end -}} :// {{- .Values.istio.host -}} /${name}.git
+{{ else if .Values.ingress.enabled -}}
+  http {{- if .Values.ingress.tls.enabled -}} s {{- end -}} :// {{- .Values.ingress.host -}} /${name}.git
+{{- else }}
+  http://<EXTERNAL-IP>: {{- .Values.gitBackend.service.http.port -}} /${name}.git
+  The external IP of the service can be found by running:
+  kubectl get svc git-backend-service
+{{- end }}
+
+Project creation, project deletion and HEAD update can also be replicated. To enable
+this feature configure the replication plugin to use an adminUrl using the format
+`gerrit+http {{- if .Values.ingress.tls.enabled -}} s {{- end -}} :// {{- .Values.ingress.host -}}`.
+
+A detailed guide of how to configure Gerrit's replication plugin can be found here:
+
+https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/replication/+doc/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/config.md
+
+The Gerrit replica is starting up.
+
+The initialization process may take some time. Afterwards the git repositories
+will be available under:
+
+{{ if .Values.istio.enabled -}}
+  http {{- if .Values.istio.tls.enabled -}} s {{- end -}} :// {{- .Values.istio.host -}} /<repository-name>.git
+{{- else }}
+  http {{- if .Values.ingress.tls.enabled -}} s {{- end -}} :// {{- .Values.ingress.host -}} /<repository-name>.git
+{{- end }}
