Install Argo CD

Install Argo CD in the argocd namespace:

Code Block
languageshell
titleShell Command
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml




Expose Argo CD with an Ingress

🔹 Ingress with NGINX

Create a file argocd-ingress.yaml:

prepare argocd_ingress.yaml

Code Block
languageyaml
titleargocd_ingress.yaml
# argocd-ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: argocd-server-ingress
  namespace: argocd
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocolingress.class: "HTTPSnginx"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/sslbackend-passthroughprotocol: "trueHTTPS"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetescert-manager.io/sslcluster-redirectissuer: "true"letsencrypt-prod"   # Optional: if using TLS
spec:
  rules:
  - host: argocd.da       # 🔁 Replace with your DNS name
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: argocd-server
            port:
              number: 443
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - argocd.da
    secretName: argocd-tls          # Auto-created by cert-manager if using TLS



Apply it:
