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
