Deploying application on Kubernetes Through ArgoCD

Argocd is one of the continuous deployment tools.

It will pull the code from repos whenever there is a change and deploy the applications with those changes.

It is deployed through the below steps on a Kubernetes cluster.

To deploy the Kubernetes cluster refer to the scripts in this repo.

Step:1

Create a namespace:

kubectl create namespace argocd

Step:2

Deploy the argocd with this command


kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.4.7/manifests/install.yaml

Step:3

To access the web UI of argocd we have to expose it through either NodePort or Loadbalancer.

kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "NodePort"}}'

Step:4

Access the Web GUI with master ip followed by port.The default username will be admin for password follow below command.

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

Step:5

Creation of application on argocd.We can deploy the application either from github or through helm charts.In this we are showing through git hub.

\=> Click on New app-> Application Name (Anything) -

\=> Project Name will be default

Provide the github url where your code is present. in this example you can checkout this code.
