Argo CD

Access Argo CD UI

In order to access the server UI you have the following options:

  1. kubectl port-forward service/argo-cd-argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443

and then open the browser on http://localhost:8080 and accept the certificate

  1. enable ingress in the values file server.ingress.enabled and either
    • Add the annotation for ssl passthrough: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/docs/operator-manual/ingress.md#option-1-ssl-passthrough
    • Add the --insecure flag to server.extraArgs in the values file and terminate SSL at your ingress: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/docs/operator-manual/ingress.md#option-2-multiple-ingress-objects-and-hosts

After reaching the UI the first time you can login with username: admin and the random password generated during the installation. You can find the password by running:

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

(You should delete the initial secret afterwards as suggested by the Getting Started Guide: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md#4-login-using-the-cli)
