Let's do GitOps in Kubernetes! ArgoCD Tutorial

[@maxiu..]

Few tools which integrate nicely with Argo - helm (also creating Argo application resources as helm charts gives some benefits) - renovate (like watchtower for docker but this one watches your repo and auto commits updates to docker image/helm chart versions) - reloader (for when you apply new version of configmap and need your app to restart) I have been running Argo in production for over 2 years now, even for self hosted k3s kubernetes it is IMO the best way to deploy your apps.

Oh they sound nice, thank you for sharing!

[@miraccan00]

I have confusin while CI pipeline get into this situation how we going to change our helm manifest without second push ?

[@majorgear1021]

do you prefer the command line argocd or the Web interface? Also, I ran into the redirect issue and made a values.yaml file with the “server.insecure: true” setting and applied it post-installation. There is probably a way to apply it at installation time, but I’m not familiar enough with argocd to know how.

Another Great video Christian. You always do an excellent job covering the issues one may encounter on these builds!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much :)

my favourite tech nerd is back 🔥

[@christianlempa]

Haha it's good to be back :D

[@ArielS]

Great, big thanks! Yesterday I was thinking in to deploy ArgoCD into my home lab. :D

[@christianlempa]

Oh what a great timing :D

[@titusmacharia2122]

probably the fastest and best way to learn argo i've seen online. Christian you rockstar!!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much :)

[@angelosnm]

Excellent video! A really intersting topic regarding ArgoCD is Helm charts deployments instead of using simple manifests files!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you mate! Glad it was useful!

[@alanscelza6397]

Absolutely incredible video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge I'm kinda new workings as a devops, and this kind of material is priceless

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

Very handy tool! Will take a look at it

[@alexandruciobotaru5085]

Loved the vid!

[@mav29]

great video, this one got me subbed @5min

[@christianlempa]

Awesome, thank you!

[@diogodias6694]

I work as DevOps and I was curious about this technology since a long time. Your video just gave me a great idea for implementation on my company! Nice explanation, simple and fast! Many thanks 🙏 Keep going!

[@christianlempa]

Glad I could help!

[@abdelrahimahmad7801]

Great topic, man. Thank you.

[@christianlempa]

My pleasure!

[@drbyte2009]

[@Fayaz-Rehman]

Thank you for the Good Stuff.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks for watching

[@MisterCoder]

Really goof video, appreciate it

[@christianlempa]

Thx! :)

[@DexDeadly]

Do you happen to be doing anything with Helm Secrets and ArgoCD? If so have you done a video on it? Love the videos!

[@majorgear1021]

That would be amazing! I did a few google searches but didn’t find anything substantial. All I found were instructions to set up helm repos and instead a helm chart in the Argo UI . But Argo installs and treats it as an argo app afterwards. There is a argocd + kustomize paring that I’ve seen mentioned that might do what you/we want. I haven’t dug into that yet.

[@alesiobita365]

You made it looks easier! Excellent work, I’ve learned a lot from you! I also added argo image updater with strategy as rolling-update to have the CD on fire :) i would be interest for rollback (restore) procedures, if any release doesn’t work and to go back to the previous release. Thanks again :)

[@christianlempa]

Thank you! :) I'm still testing a lot with ArgoCD, but I hope to make more videos about it.

[@DanielRolfe]

Awesome vid thanks 🙏

[@christianlempa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rebelavie7772]

Hey.. Christian... Do you have some experience using jsonnet? ( data templating language) in kubernetes... If yes Can do a video about it..? I heard it could be a good alternativ to kustomize or helm

[@alexelizarov]

What about private repositories?

[@RaviSharma-vw7py]

wow informative contents Christian ! Thanks ! Kindly also create one more video related Argo workflow to build docker image & push to dockerhub using kaniko on the same way like SSL ,traefik & ingress/ ingressroute as you did this one! Thanks!

[@wicksy39]

maybe you should give it a go first

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much! :) Glad that you like it. Considering doing a video about github actions and argocd maybe...

[@bassemkaroui4914]

@@christianlempa That would be really cool, can't wait for that video. Thanks Christian, you're videos are real gems.

[@bjrnhjjakobsen2174]

Nice “speed” in this episode - any faster and you loose me as I get annoyed 😂 your content is very well done and it deserves the right pitch - please

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much ;)

[@shriker95]

Nice overview. Did you tried the different views? (You can switch dem on the top-right corner)

[@kamilgregorczyk8680]

is it possible to store deployment templates on argo side so every app uses the same way for deploy ?

[@AndrewBlakeOxford]

I use gitlab running on docker to do this type of thing - Never used ArgoCD before but I'll check it out

[@christianlempa]

Oh nice! I wonder if there is another tool working with Docker apart from gitlab runners

[@peterthverdokhleb5689]

Chris, what theme are you using in powershell ? Like ofc

[@christianlempa]

Using a custom colour scheme and the starship prompt

[@rampanwar1316]

How to build docker image using the argo.

[@christianlempa]

That might be a project for an upcoming video about CI ;)

[@Lars-ju9pw]

Does anyone happen to know what color scheme vscode is running? ArgoCD and datree community are both about to be deployed in my home cluster because of this video. Thanks!

[@christianlempa]

Nice! ;) I'm using my own vscode scheme, "The Digital Life"

[@collimarco]

Please make a video about Cuber

[@christianlempa]

Hm, any reason why this should be better than argocd?

[@collimarco]

@@christianlempa it's not the same as ArgoCD, totally different project with different goal

[@meyou118]

fantastic video - wish there was a way to turn the very annoying background music off!!!

[@imjavierpalma]

VS Code theme?

[@christianlempa]

Just search for "The Digital Life" ;)

[@jonandez91]

First.

[@christianlempa]

Second :)
