Homelab 3 - ArgoCD

ArgoCD

So, with cdk8s I have an execellent way to author my Kubernetes manifests. How do I deploy them?

ArgoCD!

The workflow is actually quite simple. I store my Kubernetes manifests in a GitHub repo and I point ArgoCD to it.

How do I configure ArgoCD? With cdk8s, of course:

import { import ChartChart } from "https://esm.sh/cdk8s@2.68.58";
import { import ApplicationApplication } from "../../imports/argoproj.io.ts";

export function function createLamportApp(chart: Chart): anycreateLamportApp(chart: Chartchart: import ChartChart) {
  return new import ApplicationApplication(chart: Chartchart, "lamport-app", {
    
metadata: {
    name: string;
}metadata: {
      name: stringname: "lamport",
    },
    
spec: {
    project: string;
    source: {
        repoUrl: string;
        path: string;
        targetRevision: string;
    };
    destination: {
        server: string;
        namespace: string;
    };
    syncPolicy: {
        automated: {};
        syncOptions: string[];
    };
}spec: {
      project: stringproject: "default",
      
source: {
    repoUrl: string;
    path: string;
    targetRevision: string;
}source: {
        repoUrl: stringrepoUrl: "https://github.com/shepherdjerred/homelab",
        path: stringpath: "cdk8s/dist/",
        targetRevision: stringtargetRevision: "main",
      },
      
destination: {
    server: string;
    namespace: string;
}destination: {
        server: stringserver: "https://kubernetes.default.svc",
        namespace: stringnamespace: "lamport",
      },
      
syncPolicy: {
    automated: {};
    syncOptions: string[];
}syncPolicy: {
        automated: {}automated: {},
        syncOptions: string[]syncOptions: ["CreateNamespace=true"],
      },
    },
  });
}
