Argo CD
Installation
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
Access Argo CD
By default, the Argo CD API server is not exposed with an external IP. To access the API server, choose one of the following techniques to expose the Argo CD API server1:
Service Type Load Balancer
Change the argocd-server service type to LoadBalancer:
kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'
Port Forwarding
Kubectl port-forwarding can also be used to connect to the API server without exposing the service.
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
The API server can then be accessed using https://localhost:8080
Login
The initial password for the admin account is auto-generated and stored as
clear text in the field password in a secret named argocd-initial-admin-secret
in your Argo CD installation namespace. You can simply retrieve this password
using the argocd CLI:
argocd admin initial-password -n argocd
Uninstall ArgoCD
kubectl delete -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
