ArgoCD

This repository uses ArgoCD to deploy applications, based on Helm charts. We encourage the community contributing to the official project.

Repository Setup

Navigate to ArgoCD Settings > Repositories and connect to official project repository:

Applications Provisioning

Application charts are released with version control, based on repository tags. See below an example of application provisioning in ArgoCD.

Application Resource

In this example, we will create an Ubuntu Server pod, deployed into default namespace. Navigate to Applications and create an application, then edit the resource manifest as YAML and paste the following content:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: ubuntu
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  destination:
    name: ''
    namespace: default
    server: 'https://kubernetes.default.svc'
  source:
    path: argo/ubuntu
    repoURL: 'https://github.com/axivo/k3s-applications.git'
    targetRevision: ubuntu/v1.0.0
    helm:
      valueFiles:
        - values.yaml
  sources: []
  project: default
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true

Metadata

This repository uses the kube-system namespace for ArgoCD role provisioning. Adjust the metadata.namespace value accordingly, if you deploy ArgoCD in a different namespace.

The spec.destination.name is inherited from metadata.name value.

Shell Login

Example of pod shell login:

$ kubectl get pods -n default -o go-template \
  --template='{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'
ubuntu-6589cf5fb4-p9z2b

$ kubectl exec -itn default ubuntu-6589cf5fb4-p9z2b -- bash
root@ubuntu-6589cf5fb4-p9z2b:/#
