Argo Composer

An configurable, templated and structured interactive command-line interface for initializing, creating and maintaining your ArgoCD resources repository.

Features

• Apps-of-Apps pattern out-of-the-box
• Set of ready-to-use templates for Applications
• Easy to use interractive commands for creating, copying and removing Argo Application manifests

Installation

using npm:

$ npm install -g @codemask-labs/argo-composer

or, using yarn:

$ yarn global add @codemask-labs/argo-composer

Initializing your argocd resources repository

After successful installation, we can now proceed to initialize the argocd-resources repository by calling the following command:

$ argo-composer i
$ argo-composer init

The argo composer will take you through the interractive process of asking few questions on how you want your project to look like.

1. What name would you like to use for the project?

Tip

The name of the project is simply a directory name where the argo composer will initialize to. Also, leaving this option empty will initialize the project in the current working directory.

2. What is the base URL of GitHub repository?

Tip

The GitHub repository is then saved in root configuration, to be used as a default value when creating your Application.

3. What will be the environment inside your cluster?

Tip

The current default environment configuration is dev and prod, used for creating your Application overlays. Choose the environment to your project needs, for example it could be: integration, staging, production.

4. Do you want to install any additional components?

Tip

Select needed components (aka addons) to your project - by default it is infra - creating an example applications for each selected component and installs via Helm.

5. What name would you like to use for addons?

Tip

Configurable to your liking, choose a project name for example common (by default infra).
