Manual deployments, ad-hoc <code>kubectl apply<\/code> commands, and configuration drift often lead to operational headaches and production outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is <strong>GitOps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adopting <strong>ArgoCD<\/strong>, we treat Git as the single source of truth for our cluster state. Any change committed to Git is automatically reflected in the cluster\u2014resulting in deployments that are clean, transparent, and auditable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, I will walk you through installing ArgoCD on Kubernetes and deploying your first application using both the CLI and the Web UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we begin, ensure you have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A running <strong>Kubernetes Cluster<\/strong> (v1.16+)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>kubectl<\/strong> installed and configured to talk to your cluster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>argocd<\/strong> CLI installed on your Server<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Install ArgoCD CLI <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t installed the CLI yet, run one of the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -sSL -o argocd-linux-amd64 https:\/\/github.com\/argoproj\/argocd\/releases\/latest\/download\/argocd-linux-amd64\nsudo install -m 555 argocd-linux-amd64 \/usr\/local\/bin\/argocd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing ArgoCD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Create a Dedicated Namespace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I always prefer isolating system tools in their own namespaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>kubectl create namespace argocd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Install ArgoCD Core Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply the official installation manifest to deploy ArgoCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>kubectl apply -n argocd -f https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/argoproj\/argo-cd\/stable\/manifests\/install.yaml<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Get the Initial ArgoCD Admin Password<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial password is stored in a Kubernetes secret. Retrieve and decode it using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath=\"{.data.password}\" | base64 --decode<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Access the ArgoCD Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the ArgoCD API server is not exposed externally. For local testing or simple access, use <code>kubectl port-forward<\/code> to access the CLI and UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>kubectl port-forward svc\/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep this terminal open. You can now access ArgoCD at <code>https:\/\/localhost:8080<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Log in to ArgoCD Using the CLI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the ArgoCD CLI installed, log in using the credentials retrieved above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>argocd login localhost:8080 --username admin --password &lt;PASSWORD&gt; --insecure<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Note: Replace <code>localhost:8080<\/code> with your specific IP\/Port if using a LoadBalancer instead of port-forwarding)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting Git to ArgoCD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Add the GitLab Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect your Git repository to ArgoCD so it can read your manifests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>argocd repo add https:\/\/git.pheonixsolutions.com\/&lt;group&gt;\/&lt;repository&gt;.git \\\n--username &lt;GITLAB_USERNAME&gt; \\\n--password &lt;GITLAB_TOKEN&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Verify Repository Added<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm the repository was successfully added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>argocd repo list<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deploying an Application via Web UI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Log in to the ArgoCD Dashboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your browser and navigate to the ArgoCD Server URL (e.g., <code>https:\/\/localhost:8080<\/code> if using port-forwarding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Username:<\/strong> <code>admin<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Password:<\/strong> Retrieved in Step 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-1024x466.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-1024x466.png 1024w, https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-1536x699.png 1536w, https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-659x300.png 659w, https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14.png 1916w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.
