Argo CD Kubernetes Environment (NodePort Enabled)

This repo sets up a GitOps-based Kubernetes environment using:

• ✅ Namespaces via Terraform
• ✅ Argo CD via official manifests
• ✅ Helm-based Applications (NGINX Ingress + kube-prometheus-stack)
• ✅ NodePort-based access to Argo CD UI

1. Download and run the setup script:

chmod +x setup_with_nodeport.sh
./setup_with_nodeport.sh

2. Expose Argo CD via NodePort (automatically handled)

After setup, Argo CD will be accessible at:

https://<YOUR_EC2_PUBLIC_IP>:<NODEPORT>

Find the exact NodePort with:

kubectl -n argocd get svc argocd-server

3. Log in to Argo CD UI

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d && echo

• Username: admin
• Password: (use command above)

4. Monitor GitOps Apps

• ingress-nginx and kube-prometheus-stack will be installed automatically.
• View sync status and health in Argo CD UI.

terraform/                  # Manages namespaces

├── base/                   # Namespace definitions
├── argocd/                 # Argo CD install + app-of-apps
└── apps/                   # Helm-based apps deployed by Argo CD
scripts/
└── setup_with_nodeport.sh  # Automated setup script

To verify everything is up:

kubectl get pods -A
kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/kube-prom-stack-grafana 3000:80 &

Then open http://localhost:3000 (user: admin, pass: prom-operator)

Happy GitOps-ing! 🚀
