Tech Stack

Component	Technology	Purpose
Orchestration	Minikube	Local Kubernetes cluster
GitOps	ArgoCD	Automatic synchronization with Git
Monitoring	VictoriaMetrics	Metrics collection and storage
Visualization	Grafana	Dashboards and visualization

Prerequisites

The following tools must be installed on your local machine:

• Minikube
• kubectl
• Docker
• Helm
• Git
• ArgoCD CLI

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/AnnaDob/gitops-task.git
cd gitops-task

2. Run the bootstrap script:

./bootstrap.sh

3. Wait until the bootstrap script completes. It may take up to 10 minutes for all pods to start and reach the Running state.

Access to Applications

After the script finishes, the following services will be available:

App	URL
ArgoCD	http://localhost:8080
Grafana	http://localhost:3000
Spam2000	http://localhost:8081

ArgoCD

• URL: https://localhost:8080
• Username: admin
• Password:

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

Grafana

• URL: http://localhost:3000
• Username: admin
• Password:

kubectl get secret monitoring-grafana -n monitoring -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 -d; echo

Spam2000 App

• URL: http://localhost:8081
• URL: http://localhost:8081/metrics
