Enhanced/improved provider configuration options and documentation (#268
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
)

* fix(provider): implement `kubernetes.config_context` options

These were available on the provider configuration but not actually used,

* fix(provider): remove unused `kubernetes` configuration options

These cannot be used by the provider so there's no point in having them here.

* fix(provider): mark `server_addr` as optional

This does not need to be supplied when port forwarding or using local config.

* feat(provider): add `core` to provider configuration

* fix(provider): fix description of `context` option

* fix(provider): improve descriptions for port forwarding configuration

* docs(provider): improve overview and add examples for common provider configuration

* docs: improve wording on port forwarding example

* chore: drop `ARGOCD_CONTEXT` var from local test env vars

**NB**: The provider is not concerned with the installation/configuration of
ArgoCD itself. To make use of the provider, you will need to have an existing
ArgoCD installation and, the ArgoCD API server must be
[accessible](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/#3-access-the-argo-cd-api-server)
from where you are running Terraform.
ArgoCD installation.

The correct provider configuration largely depends on whether or not your
ArgoCD API server is exposed or not.

If your ArgoCD API server is exposed, then:
- use `server_addr` along with a `username`/`password` or `auth_token`.
- use `use_local_config` if you have (pre)authenticated via the ArgoCD CLI (E.g.
via SSO using `argocd login --sso`.

If you have not exposed your ArgoCD API server or have not deployed the API
server ([ArgoCD
core](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/installation/#core)),
see below for options. **Note**: in both these cases, you need sufficient access
to the Kubernetes API to perform any actions.
- use `port_forward_with_namespace` and optionally `kubernetes` configuration
(to temporarily expose the ArgoCD API server using port forwarding) along with
a `username`/`password` or `auth_token`.
- use `core` to run a local ArgoCD API server that communicates directly with
the Kubernetes API. **NB**: When using `core`, take note of the warning in
the docs below.

If you are struggling to determine the correct configuration for the provider or
the provider is behaving strangely and failing to connect for whatever reason,
then we would suggest that you first figure out what combination of parameters
work to log in using the ArgoCD CLI (`argocd login`) and then set the provider
configuration to match what you used in the CLI. See also the ArgoCD [Getting
Started](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/#3-access-the-argo-cd-api-server)
docs.

## Example Usage

```terraform
# Exposed ArgoCD API - authenticated using authentication token.
provider "argocd" {
server_addr = "argocd.local:443"
auth_token = "1234..."
}
# Exposed ArgoCD API - authenticated using `username`/`password`
provider "argocd" {
server_addr = "argocd.local:443"
username = "foo"
password = local.password
}
# Exposed ArgoCD API - (pre)authenticated using local ArgoCD config (e.g. when
# you have previously logged in using SSO).
provider "argocd" {
use_local_config = true
# context = "foo" # Use explicit context from ArgoCD config instead of `current-context`.
}
# Unexposed ArgoCD API - using the current Kubernetes context and
# port-forwarding to temporarily expose ArgoCD API and authenticating using
# `auth_token`.
provider "argocd" {
auth_token = "1234..."
port_forward = true
}
# Unexposed ArgoCD API - using port-forwarding to temporarily expose ArgoCD API
# whilst overriding the current context in kubeconfig.
provider "argocd" {
auth_token = "1234..."
port_forward_with_namespace = "custom-argocd-namespace"
kubernetes {
config_context = "kind-argocd"
}
}
# Unexposed ArgoCD API - using `core` to run ArgoCD server locally and
# communicate directly with the Kubernetes API.
