Installing ArgoCD

minikube start --driver=docker

2. Create a namespace for argocd

kubectl create namespace argocd

3. Apply ArgoCD manifest installation file from ArgoCD github repository

kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.8.4/manifests/install.yaml

4. Verify the installation by getting all the objects in the ArgoCD namespace.

kubectl get all -n argocd

5. wait till all pods in that namespace running

Access ArgoCD UI

1. we need to do a port forwarding from the argocd-server service

kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443

2. now lets go to browser with http://localhost:8080
3. retrieve password from secret in argocd namespace

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

4. the default login username is admin with the password we took above
