Installation

information

Only available for Kubernetes (k8s)

To proceed with the installation of ArgoCD on our platform we need to execute the following steps:

  1. We create the namespace
kubectl create namespace argocd
  1. Install the manifest with kubectl
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

Since ArgoCD is not exposed to the outside, we have two options:

  1. Access internally with
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
  1. Or expose it and for this we must create an ingress.yaml for them as follows:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: argocd-server-ingress
  namespace: argocd
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
    # If you encounter a redirect loop or are getting a 307 response code
    # then you need to force the nginx ingress to connect to the backend using HTTPS.
    #
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"
spec:
  ingressClassName: appsec-nginx
  rules:
  - host: argocd.yourdomain.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: argocd-server
            port:
              name: https
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - argocd.yourdomain.com
    secretName: argocd-server-tls # as expected by argocd-server

And now we must apply it with:

kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml -n argocd
