• https://kubebyexample.com/learning-paths/argo-cd/argo-cd-working-kustomize
• https://subnet.min.io/issues/9690

Steps:

1. Create cluster:

createcluster nodeport

2. Install ArgoCD:

kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
echo "a"

3. Expose ArgoCD externally, so you can manage apps with Argo, I suggest NodePort because it is more stable that port-forward but feel free to use any method as long as it works:

• URL: https://localhost:30081/

4. Login to ArgoCD:

# To get the password from the k8s Secret
argocd admin initial-password -n argocd
argocd login localhost:30081

Expected:

$ argocd login localhost:30081
WARNING: server certificate had error: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority. Proceed insecurely (y/n)? y 
Username: admin
Password: 
'admin:login' logged in successfully
Context 'localhost:30081' updated

5. Update password:

argocd account update-password

Expected:

$ argocd account update-password
*** Enter password of currently logged in user (admin): 
*** Enter new password for user admin: 
*** Confirm new password for user admin: 
Password updated
Context 'localhost:30081' updated

6. Set kind cluster to be used:

argocd cluster add kind-kind --in-cluster

Expected:

$ argocd cluster add kind-kind --in-cluster
WARNING: This will create a service account `argocd-manager` on the cluster referenced by context `kind-kind` with full cluster level privileges. Do you want to continue [y/N]? y
INFO[0002] ServiceAccount "argocd-manager" created in namespace "kube-system" 
INFO[0002] ClusterRole "argocd-manager-role" created    
INFO[0002] ClusterRoleBinding "argocd-manager-role-binding" created 
INFO[0007] Created bearer token secret for ServiceAccount "argocd-manager" 
Cluster 'https://kubernetes.default.svc' added

7. Create MinIO Operator App:

kubectl create namespace minio-operator

argocd app create minio-operator \
--repo https://github.com/minio/operator.git \
--path resources \
--dest-namespace minio-operator \
--dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
--insecure \
--upsert
