About

Argo CD on Minikube with Ubuntu 24.04 provides a complete local GitOps lab environment.

  1. Minikube creates a single-node Kubernetes cluster that’s easy to manage on a local machine.

  2. Argo CD, an open-source continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, automates the synchronization between your Git repositories and cluster states — ensuring that your deployments match the declared configuration in Git.

  3. The setup process involves:

    • Installing kubectl and Minikube on Ubuntu 24.04.

    • Starting Minikube with sufficient resources (e.g., minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=8g).

    • Installing Argo CD into the argocd namespace using the official manifests.

    • Exposing the Argo CD API server via port-forward or NodePort to access the Argo CD Web UI.

  4. Once deployed, you can connect Argo CD to a Git repository, define application manifests, and automatically sync updates — demonstrating GitOps automation from code commit to cluster deployment.

This environment is perfect for developers, DevOps engineers, or students who want to practice Kubernetes continuous delivery workflows safely on a local Ubuntu system.

You can subscribe to Mautic, an AWS Marketplace product and launch an instance from the product’s AMI using the Amazon EC2 launch wizard.

To launch an instance from the AWS Marketplace using the launch wizard

  • Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/
  • From the Amazon EC2 dashboard, choose Launch Instance. On the Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) page, choose the AWS Marketplace category on the left. Find a suitable AMI by browsing the categories, or using the search functionality. Choose Select to choose your product.
  • A dialog displays an overview of the product you’ve selected. You can view the pricing information, as well as any other information that the vendor has provided. When you’re ready, choose Continue.
  • On the Choose an Instance Type page, select the hardware configuration and size of the instance to launch. When you’re done, choose Next: Configure Instance Details.
  • On the next pages of the wizard, you can configure your instance, add storage, and add tags. For more information about the different options you can configure, see Launching an Instance. Choose Next until you reach the Configure Security Group page.
  • The wizard creates a new security group according to the vendor’s specifications for the product. The security group may include rules that allow all IP addresses (0.0.0.0/0) access on SSH (port 22) on Linux or RDP (port 3389) on Windows. We recommend that you adjust these rules to allow only a specific address or range of addresses to access your instance over those ports
  • When you are ready, choose Review and Launch.
  • On the Review Instance Launch page, check the details of the AMI from which you’re about to launch the instance, as well as the other configuration details you set up in the wizard. When you’re ready, choose Launch to select or create a key pair, and launch your instance.
  • Depending on the product you’ve subscribed to, the instance may take a few minutes or more to launch. You are first subscribed to the product before your instance can launch. If there are any problems with your credit card details, you will be asked to update your account details. When the launch confirmation page displays.

Usage/Deployment Instructions

Step 1: SSH into your instance with username ubuntu and key pair to start the application

Username: ubuntu

ssh -i ssh_key.pem ubuntu@instance-IP

su – ubuntu

minikube start –vm-driver docker
$ kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd –address 0.0.0.0 8080:443

The ArgoCD UI will be available at http://localhost/IP:8080.

Get the initial password for the admin user to log in

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath=”{.data.password}” | base64 -d

if taking long to sart minikube then follow below steps:-……

minikube delete
then
minikube start –vm-driver docker
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd –address 0.0.0.0 8080:443

Step 2: Use your web browser to access the application at:

http://<instance-ip-address>:8080

After this, access Argo CD at http://<host-ip>:8080
