Example ArgoCD application definitions for ClickHouse analytic applications

In this project you'll find ArgoCD applications and instructions to stand up a full analytic stack based on ClickHouse in a Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisites

You'll need a Kubernetes cluster. EKS, GKE, or minikube should all be OK.

Install the following tools in your environment. ArgoCD should be installed in the argocd namespace.

Confirm that you can connect to Kubernetes by listing available namespaces.

kubectl get ns

Login to ArgoCD

All commands with argocd require an accessible ArgoCD API endpoint and a valid token. Get them as follows.

kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443 &
argocd login localhost:8080 --username=admin --password="yourpassword" --insecure

Bring up the analytic stack

Run the create-stack.sh script in the apps directory.

Make endpoints accessible

Run the forward-stack.sh script in the apps directory.

Remove the analytic stack

Run delete-stack-apps.sh followed by delete-stack-deps.sh in the apps directory.

You must clean up the apps before removing dependencies. The Altinity operator must be present to delete ClickHouse clusters. If you forget, deletion of ClickHouse resources may hang. If that happens, take the following steps to clean up fully.
