Introduction
Argo CD is an open-source continuous delivery tool that helps automate deployment of applications to Kubernetes clusters. It provides a declarative and GitOps-centric approach to manage and deploy applications in a consistent and automated manner across different environments.
Prerequisites
- Installed kubectl command-line tool.
- Have a kubeconfig file (default location is
~/.kube/config
). - CoreDNS. Can be enabled for microk8s by
microk8s enable dns && microk8s stop && microk8s start
In this post, We will show you how to install ArgoCD on k8s cluster ( Minikube ).
Step 1: Create a namespace
Create a namespace for argoCD deployment and their componets by using given command.
kubectl create namespace argocd
Step 2: Deploy ArgoCD
To deply the argoCD application we need to execute the given command that will deploy the argoCD application in k8s cluster under argoCD name space.
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
Step 3: Verify ArgoCD Pods
After deployment we need to veriy that all the argoCD pods should be running condition.
kubectl get pods -n argocd
Step 4: verify ArgoCD Services
We need to also verify that argoCD related service should deployed to check, USe the given command.
kubectl get svc -n argocd
Step 5: Enable Port-forwared

button left side menu,

Click on UPDATE PASSWORD
button in order to set new password of admin user.

We shoud get sucess message after saving new password.
