provider-argocd

Overview

provider-argocd is the Crossplane infrastructure provider for Argo CD. The provider that is built from the source code in this repository can be installed into a Crossplane control plane and adds the following new functionality:

Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) that model Argo CD resources
Controllers to provision these resources in Argo CD based on the users desired state captured in CRDs they create
Implementations of Crossplane's portable resource abstractions, enabling Argo CD resources to fulfill a user's general need for Argo CD configurations

Getting Started and Documentation

Follow the official docs to install crossplane, then these steps to get started with provider-argocd.

Optional: Start a local Argo CD server

kind create cluster

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

Create a new Argo CD user

Follow the steps in the official documentation to create a new user provider-argcod:

kubectl patch configmap/argocd-cm \
  -n argocd \
  --type merge \
  -p '{"data":{"accounts.provider-argocd":"apiKey"}}'

kubectl patch configmap/argocd-rbac-cm \
  -n argocd \
  --type merge \
  -p '{"data":{"policy.csv":"g, provider-argocd, role:admin"}}'

Create an API Token

Note: The following steps require the kubectl-view-secret plugin and jq to be installed.

Get the admin passwort via kubectl

ARGOCD_ADMIN_SECRET=$(kubectl view-secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -n argocd -q)

Port forward the Argo CD api to the host:

kubectl -n argocd port-forward svc/argocd-server 8443:443

Create a session JWT for the admin user at the Argo CD API. Note: You cannot use this token directly, because it will expire.

ARGOCD_ADMIN_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"username":"admin","password":"'$ARGOCD_ADMIN_SECRET'"}' https://localhost:8443/api/v1/session | jq -r .token)

Create an API token without expiration that can be used by provider-argocd

ARGOCD_PROVIDER_USER="provider-argocd"

ARGOCD_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $ARGOCD_ADMIN_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8443/api/v1/account/$ARGOCD_PROVIDER_USER/token | jq -r .token)

Setup crossplane provider-argocd

Install provider-argocd:

cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
kind: Provider
metadata:
  name: provider-argocd
spec:
  package: xpkg.upbound.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-argocd:v0.2.0
EOF

Create a kubernetes secret from the JWT so provider-argocd is able to connect to Argo CD:

kubectl create secret generic argocd-credentials -n crossplane-system --from-literal=authToken="$ARGOCD_TOKEN"

Configure a ProviderConfig with serverAddr pointing to an Argo CD instance:

cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: argocd.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: ProviderConfig
metadata:
  name: argocd-provider
spec:
  serverAddr: argocd-server.argocd.svc:443
  insecure: true
  plainText: false
  credentials:
    source: Secret
    secretRef:
      namespace: crossplane-system
      name: argocd-credentials
      key: authToken
EOF
