kube/argocd

Most applications in our Kubernetes cluster are managed by ArgoCD. Most notably operators are NOT managed by ArgoCD.

Managing applications

Update apps (see TODO below):

Repository secrets

1. Generate keys locally with ssh-keygen -f argo
2. Add argo.pub in git.k-space.ee/<your>/<repo> → Settings → Deploy keys
3. Add argo (private key) at https://argocd.k-space.ee/settings/repos along with referenced repo.

Argo Deployment

To deploy ArgoCD itself:

helm repo add argo-cd https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
kubectl create secret -n argocd generic argocd-secret # Empty secret for sessions

helm template -n argocd --release-name k6 argo-cd/argo-cd --include-crds -f values.yaml > argocd.yml
kubectl apply -f argocd.yml -f application-extras.yml -f redis.yaml -f monitoring.yml -n argocd
kubectl label -n argocd secret oidc-client-argocd-owner-secrets app.kubernetes.io/part-of=argocd

kubectl -n argocd rollout restart deployment/k6-argocd-redis deployment/k6-argocd-repo-server deployment/k6-argocd-server deployment/k6-argocd-notifications-controller statefulset/k6-argocd-application-controller
