argoville

an exploration in arggocd (not to be confused with argo workflows org argo events)

install local deps tools

Install docker/kube as wish I use Docker Desktop with Kubernetes enabled

Install cli tools

brew install helm
brew install argocd

install argo cd

create a namespace and install it

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: argo
EOF

kubectl apply -n argocd \
    -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

port forward

kubectl get services -n argocd --watch
kubectl port-forward service/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443

authenticate the argocd cli

argocd login 127.0.0.1:8080

the default username will be admin. run the following to get the password

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

create app

open http://localhost:8080 in your browser and create app

Alternatively create an argo app via the argocd cli

argocd app create argoville \
    --repo https://github.com/softprops/argoville.git \
    --path helm \
    --values values-dev.yaml \
    --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
    --dest-namespace dev \
    --sync-policy automated \
    --self-heal \
    --auto-prune

kubectl get all --namespace dev

port forward demo app

kubectl port-forward service/argodemo -n dev 8082:80

clean up

argocd app delete argoville -y

kubectl delete ns argo
