Implementing Kube, ArgoCD and Docker with ArgoCD Canary Release
Install Kube on the machine. I am using MiniKube
Run the below command to start installation of minikube and kubectl.
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl kubectl version minikube version
Install docker with the script at the script/dockerinstall.sh
Once the installation is completed, start the kube cluster on your computer with the below command. I have included coredn addon.
Note: minikube uses a VM Manager, make sure you have one installed for it to create a VM.
minikube start --addons=dns=coredns
After the minikube has the VM created for you run the below command to verify. It wil display you all of the available nodes.
kubectl get nodes
Run the below two commands to check if the setup is working correctly. Below commands will expose and create a minikube service and expose it to be accessed.
kubectl create deployment minikube --image=kicbase/echo-server:1.0 kubectl expose deployment minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
Run the below command to get the URL for the above service and open the given address.
minikube service minikube --url
Install argocd with the below command.
kubectl create namespace argocd kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
ArgoCD Rollouts namespace downloaded
kubectl create namespace argo-rollouts kubectl apply -n argo-rollouts -f https://github.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/releases/latest/download/install.yaml
Run the below command to patch it
kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/type", "value": "LoadBalancer"}]'
Install ArgoCD CLI or form here https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/latest.
curl -sSL -o argocd-linux-amd64 https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/latest/download/argocd-linux-amd64 sudo install -m 555 argocd-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/argocd rm argocd-linux-amd64
Get the admin password with:
argocd admin initial-password -n argocd
Run the below command to run ArgoCD
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
login into ArgoCD using the CLI. Default is below. Use the admin default user and password you from the command in the cli before.
argocd login 127.0.0.1:8080
Once inside the ArgoCD UI, create the app and traverse around as you may.
Get the kube address from the below command
kubectl config view
Create Namespace
kubectl create ns docuseal-ns
Apply the files on Kube with the below command. PS: It also accpets folders. cd into the repo abd run the below command.
kubectl apply -f canary
After all of this, create a application with the github repo and start it. Get the application-canary.yml from github repo at root, Open ArgoCD > Create App > Edit as a YML and paste it there > Create app.
Install ArgoCD Rollouts Plugin. curl -LO https://github.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/releases/latest/download/kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64 chmod +x ./kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64 sudo mv ./kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kubectl-argo-rollouts
fetch rollouts with the below commands kubectl get rs -n docuseal-ns kubectl argo rollouts list rollouts -n docuseal-ns kubectl argo rollouts get rollouts rollout-docuseal -n docuseal-ns
Promote the app once identifying that the rollout can be proceeded with. kubectl argo rollouts promote rollout-docuseal -n docuseal-ns
kubectl get pod kubectl get svc kubectl get ns kubectl get rs
Open ArgoCD and Delete the application. As the app is deleted all of the services and pods should not longer exist.
Run the below command
kubectl get ns
Delete the namespaces you had created. eg below
kubectl delete ns docuseal-ns
Shutdown the kube using
minikube stop
Delete the minikube data
minikube delete
