A collection of Argo CD templates for deploying helm apps or directories of Kubernetes (k8s) manifests as Argo CD apps. We're still working on full stability, but please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions 🧡
smallhack-argocd-apps.mov
These Argo CD apps were originally designed to be compatible with smol-k8s-lab, but they can be used anywhere :)
Here's some quick guidelines, but you if you'd like to contribute, please read the full contributing guidelines here 😃!
-
Follow a base schema for all our files and directories so that we can easily make more of them faster.
-
Make secure as we go to avoid the dreaded all-at-once security pass (but we may have missed something, in which case, please let us know).
-
Be kind and if something doesn't work as it should, try to fix the upstream repo before introducing a good-enough fix here.
-
NEVER FORGET THE BACKUPS. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS RULE? 😭
