To recreate demo...

1. Run minikube (minikube start --driver=hyperkit)

2. Create an ArgoCD namespace

   kubectl create namespace argocd

3. Install argocd in k8s

   kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

4. Install argocd CLI

   brew tap argoproj/tap
   brew install argoproj/tap/argocd

5. Port-forward argocd server

   kubectl -n argocd port-forward svc/argocd-server 8080:443

6. Login

   argocd login 127.0.0.1:8080 --username admin --password <POD_NAME>

7. Add Abby's public git repo:

   argocd repo add https://github.com/abangser/argocd-examples.git

8. Clone repo:

   git clone [email protected]:abangser/argocd-example.git

9. Manually apply the two application resources:

   kubectl apply -f app-helm.yaml -f app-kustomize-sed-deployment.yaml -f app-kustomize-sed-kustomization.yaml -f app-kustomize-set-image-cli.yaml

10. Load local ArgoUI at https://127.0.0.1:8080/applications

Expected state: We want Argo to update the deployment to use the newly created image tag based on the current commit.

Solution 4: Repackage our application using Helm 3 and feed a parameter override via the Argo application (argo-helm.yaml) Helm will be in a healthy state but the kustomize apps will not be as they have not had their "post commit" changes done yet.

NOTE: To reset either solution 1 or 2 for review, change the image tag in the kustomize base directories to not contain a valid commit hash and re-comment out the jobs in CircleCI.
