Kind Project with ArgoCD

This repository contains scripts and configuration files to set up a test cluster using Kind and deploy

• ArgoCD
• Gitea
• CertManager
• A self signed certificate
• External Secrets Operator

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Docker or DockerWrapper
• Kind
• kubectl
• Helm
• make

Getting Started

To create the test cluster and deploy ArgoCD, follow these steps:

make setup-all

This Makefile target is responsible for creating a test cluster, deploying the Ingress-Nginx controller, adding the Argo CD Helm repository, installing the Argo CD chart onto the cluster and finally setup the tools in a pre-configured way.

That's it! Now you can start and stop the test cluster as needed. Happy coding!

Usage

For more advanced usage and customization, you can modify the helm values.

Useful tasks

Inspect the Makefile to get an impression and overview of all targets.

make recreate-cluster

Running this command will recreate the test cluster, ensuring a fresh setup for further testing and deployment.

make get-initial-argo-password

Getting the Initial ArgoCD admin Password

make reinstall-argocd

Reinstall ArgoCD. Useful if you unintentionally delete the ArgoCD part.

make start

Starts the kind docker container.

make stop

Stops the running kind cluster without deletion.

make clean

Warning, this is a destructive action. It will delete the cluster container.

Example: Passing a Different REPO_URL

You can pass a different REPO_URL when invoking make by setting the environment variable REPO_URL. For example:

make REPO_URL="http://gitea-http.gitea/kindpro/kindpro" deploy-root-app

This will deploy the root application with the REPO_URL set to a local dev repository.
