Extra Applications

Kubernetes applications listed here are NOT deployed via Ansible. These are extra applications that I use or have used in the past.

To deploy with ArgoCD

  1. Simply copy the directory structure of the application into your ArgoCD repository
  2. Update the .spec.source.repoURL in applications directory to use your ArgoCD repository
  3. Review README.md for the specific application changes to make (secrets, config, etc)
  4. Commit the change

Within minutes ArgoCD will detect and deploy the application (and Renovate will monitor it for updates.)


Directory Structure for ArgoCD

Each Application uses this directory structure:

  • applications - Contains the ArgoCD application definition
    • Defines location and type (Helm, Kustomize, etc).
  • namespaces - Contains a Namespace create manifest file
    • Name it after the actual namespace
    • If multiple applications use the same namespace only one file will actually exist (be overwritten on copy)
  • workloads - This contains the application deployment files
    • Could be the Helm Chart.yaml and values.yaml files (these can also be embedded in applications file.)
    • Could be Kustomize directory structure and files
    • Could be just standard Kubernetes manifest files

If you don't plan on using ArgoCD to deploy these applications, you can just extract the important bits from applications and workloads directories.
