The Argo CD administration console and CLI can be accessed using the following address:
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace services -l "app=argocd010-ibm-argocd,release=argocd010,component=argocd-server" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME --namespace services 8080:8080
export ARGOCD_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8080
export ARGOCD_CLI_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8080
The Argo CD CLI can be downloaded directly from the Argo CD server:
Linux:
wget $ARGOCD_ADDR/download/argocd-linux-amd64
chmod +x argocd-linux-amd64
sudo mv argocd-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/argocd
macOS:
wget $ARGOCD_ADDR/download/argocd-darwin-amd64
chmod +x argocd-darwin-amd64
sudo mv argocd-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/argocd
The initial password for the admin user is autogenerated to be the pod name of the Argo CD API server.
It can be retrieved using the following command:
kubectl get pods --namespace services -l "app=argocd010-ibm-argocd,release=argocd010,component=argocd-server" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}"
Using the above password, login to Argo CD as the admin user, and modify the initial password:
argocd login $ARGOCD_CLI_ADDR --username admin --password <password>
argocd account update-password --current-password <password> --new-password <new password>
