I chose this product because i was interested to have something similar to Rundeck , but with more extended capability in order to be possible build a ci/cd without spinnaker
https://argoproj.github.io/
The installation is quite easy , i've just trick a configmap due to volume mount problem genereted by my small kubernetes installation
For a basic installation you need to create a dedicated namespace
kubectl create namespace argo
and than deploy the argo infrastructure (server and workflow)
kubectl apply -n argo -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo/stable/manifests/install.yaml
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
argo argo-server-6c886c5b77-l8jfv 1/1 Running 1 2d13h
argo workflow-controller-65948977d-zc9vt 1/1 Running 0 2d14h
As mentioned before i discover a bug (just because i use containerd instead docker in microk8s) , running the firt job
MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "docker-lib" : hostPath type check failed: /var/lib/docker is not a directory
However adding
data:
config: |
containerRuntimeExecutor: pns
in workflow-controller-configmap
i fixed the issue.
Well now Argo is running and you can interact with the web UI or creating a services and a ingress configuration or with the port forwarding.
Since i'm now experimenting the solution i'm just using the second option.
$ kubectl -n argo port-forward deployment/argo-server 2746:2746
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:2746 -> 2746
Forwarding from [::1]:2746 -> 2746
The UI interface is pretty clean and the authentication model follow the RBAC policy
The editor as well is really good and if i have to think about a solution to share to other teams/depts , this has a good level of abstraction (at least you need to know what is contab)
All informations are shared with the most relevant needs
Events could be retrieved and evaluated as well
Last but not least .... logs are in the UI
