# Declarative Setup
Argo CD applications, projects and settings can be defined declaratively using Kubernetes manifests.
## Quick Reference
| File Name | Resource Name | Kind | Description |
|-----------|---------------|------|-------------|
| [`argocd-cm.yaml`](argocd-cm.yaml) | argocd-cm | ConfigMap | General Argo CD configuration |
| [`argocd-secret.yaml`](argocd-secret.yaml) | argocd-secret | Secret | Password, Certificates, Signing Key |
| [`argocd-rbac-cm.yaml`](argocd-rbac-cm.yaml) | argocd-rbac-cm | ConfigMap | RBAC Configuration |
| [`argocd-tls-certs-cm.yaml`](argocd-tls-certs-cm.yaml) | argocd-tls-certs-cm | ConfigMap | Custom TLS certificates for connecting Git repositories via HTTPS (v1.2 and later) |
| [`argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm.yaml`](argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm.yaml) | argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm | ConfigMap | SSH known hosts data for connecting Git repositories via SSH (v1.2 and later) |
| [`application.yaml`](application.yaml) | - | Application | Example application spec |
| [`project.yaml`](project.yaml) | - | AppProject | Example project spec |
All resources, including `Application` and `AppProject` specs, have to be installed in the ArgoCD namespace (by default `argocd`). Also, ConfigMap and Secret resources need to be named as shown in the table above. For `Application` and `AppProject` resources, the name of the resource equals the name of the application or project within ArgoCD. This also means that application and project names are unique within the same ArgoCD installation - you cannot i.e. have the same application name for two different applications.
!!!warning "A note about ConfigMap resources"
Be sure to annotate your ConfigMap resources using the label `app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd`, otherwise ArgoCD will not be able to use them.
## Applications
The Application CRD is the Kubernetes resource object representing a deployed application instance
in an environment. It is defined by two key pieces of information:
* `source` reference to the desired state in Git (repository, revision, path, environment)
* `destination` reference to the target cluster and namespace.
A minimal Application spec is as follows:
```yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: guestbook
namespace: argocd
spec:
project: default
source:
repoURL: https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps.git
targetRevision: HEAD
path: guestbook
destination:
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
namespace: guestbook
```
See [application.yaml](application.yaml) for additional fields
!!! note
The namespace must match the namespace of your Argo cd, typically this is `argocd`.
!!! warning
By default, deleting an application will not perform a cascade delete, thereby deleting its resources. You must add the finalizer if you want this behaviour - which you may well not want.
```yaml
metadata:
finalizers:
- resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
```
### App of Apps
You can create an app that creates other apps, which in turn can create other apps.
This allows you to declaratively manage a group of app that can be deployed and configured in concert.
See [cluster bootstrapping](cluster-bootstrapping.md).
## Projects
The AppProject CRD is the Kubernetes resource object representing a logical grouping of applications.
It is defined by the following key pieces of information:
* `sourceRepos` reference to the repositories that applications within the project can pull manifests from.
* `destinations` reference to clusters and namespaces that applications within the project can deploy into.
* `roles` list of entities with definitions of their access to resources within the project.
An example spec is as follows:
```yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: AppProject
metadata:
name: my-project
namespace: argocd
spec:
description: Example Project
# Allow manifests to deploy from any Git repos
sourceRepos:
- '*'
# Only permit applications to deploy to the guestbook namespace in the same cluster
destinations:
- namespace: guestbook
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
# Deny all cluster-scoped resources from being created, except for Namespace
clusterResourceWhitelist:
- group: ''
kind: Namespace
# Allow all namespaced-scoped resources to be created, except for ResourceQuota, LimitRange, NetworkPolicy
namespaceResourceBlacklist:
- group: ''
kind: ResourceQuota
- group: ''
kind: LimitRange
- group: ''
kind: NetworkPolicy
# Deny all namespaced-scoped resources from being created, except for Deployment and StatefulSet
namespaceResourceWhitelist:
- group: 'apps'
kind: Deployment
- group: 'apps'
kind: StatefulSet
roles:
# A role which provides read-only access to all applications in the project
- name: read-only
description: Read-only privileges to my-project
policies:
- p, proj:my-project:read-only, applications, get, my-project/*, allow
groups:
- my-oidc-group
# A role which provides sync privileges to only the guestbook-dev application, e.g. to provide
# sync privileges to a CI system
- name: ci-role
description: Sync privileges for guestbook-dev
policies:
- p, proj:my-project:ci-role, applications, sync, my-project/guestbook-dev, allow
# NOTE: JWT tokens can only be generated by the API server and the token is not persisted
# anywhere by Argo CD. It can be prematurely revoked by removing the entry from this list.
jwtTokens:
- iat: 1535390316
```
## Repositories
!!!note
Some Git hosters - notably GitLab and possibly on-premise GitLab instances as well - require you to
specify the `.git` suffix in the repository URL, otherwise they will send a HTTP 301 redirect to the
repository URL suffixed with `.git`. ArgoCD will **not** follow these redirects, so you have to
adapt your repository URL to be suffixed with `.git`.
Repository credentials are stored in secret. Use following steps to configure a repo:
1. Create secret which contains repository credentials. Consider using [bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets) to store encrypted secret
definition as a Kubernetes manifest.
2. Register repository in the `argocd-cm` config map. Each repository must have `url` field and, depending on whether you connect using HTTPS or SSH, `usernameSecret` and `passwordSecret` (for HTTPS) or `sshPrivateKeySecret` (for SSH).
Example for HTTPS:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
repositories: |
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/my-private-repository
passwordSecret:
name: my-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: my-secret
key: username
```
Example for SSH:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
repositories: |
- url: git@github.com:argoproj/my-private-repository
sshPrivateKeySecret:
name: my-secret
key: sshPrivateKey
```
!!! tip
The Kubernetes documentation has [instructions for creating a secret containing a private key](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#use-case-pod-with-ssh-keys).
### Repository Credentials
> Earlier than v1.4
If you want to use the same credentials for multiple repositories, you can use `repository.credentials`:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
repositories: |
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/private-repo
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/other-private-repo
repository.credentials: |
- url: https://github.com/argoproj
passwordSecret:
name: my-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: my-secret
key: username
```
Argo CD will only use the credentials if you omit `usernameSecret`, `passwordSecret`, and `sshPrivateKeySecret` fields (`insecureIgnoreHostKey` is ignored).
A credential may be match if it's URL is the prefix of the repository's URL. The means that credentials may match, e.g in the above example both [https://github.com/argoproj](https://github.com/argoproj) and [https://github.com](https://github.com) would match. Argo CD selects the first one that matches.
!!! tip
Order your credentials with the most specific at the top and the least specific at the bottom.
A complete example.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
repositories: |
# this has it's own credentials
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/private-repo
passwordSecret:
name: private-repo-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: private-repo-secret
key: username
sshPrivateKeySecret:
name: private-repo-secret
key: sshPrivateKey
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/other-private-repo
- url: https://github.com/otherproj/another-private-repo
repository.credentials: |
# this will be used for the second repo
- url: https://github.com/argoproj
passwordSecret:
name: other-private-repo-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: other-private-repo-secret
key: username
sshPrivateKeySecret:
name: other-private-repo-secret
key: sshPrivateKey
# this will be used for the third repo
- url: https://github.com
passwordSecret:
name: another-private-repo-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: another-private-repo-secret
key: username
sshPrivateKeySecret:
name: another-private-repo-secret
key: sshPrivateKey
```
> v1.4 or later
If you want to use the same credentials for multiple repositories, you can use `repository.credentials` to configure credential templates. Credential templates can carry the same credentials information as repositories.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
repositories: |
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/private-repo
- url: https://github.com/argoproj/other-private-repo
repository.credentials: |
- url: https://github.com/argoproj
passwordSecret:
name: my-secret
key: password
usernameSecret:
name: my-secret
key: username
```
In the above example, every repository accessed via HTTPS whose URL is prefixed with `https://github.com/argoproj` would use a username stored in the key `username` and a password stored in the key `password` of the secret `my-secret` for connecting to Git.
In order for ArgoCD to use a credential template for any given repository, the following conditions must be met:
* The repository must either not be configured at all, or if configured, must not contain any credential information (i.e. contain none of `sshPrivateKeySecret`, `usernameSecret`, `passwordSecret` )
* The URL configured for a credential template (e.g. `https://github.com/argoproj`) must match as prefix for the repository URL (e.g. `https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps`).
!!! note
Matching credential template URL prefixes is done on a _best match_ effort, so the longest (best) match will take precedence. The order of definition is not important, as opposed to pre v1.4 configuration.
The following keys are valid to refer to credential secrets:
#### SSH repositories
* `sshPrivateKeySecret` refers to a secret where an SSH private key is stored for accessing the repositories
#### HTTPS repositories
* `usernameSecret` and `passwordSecret` refer to secrets where username and/or password are stored for accessing the repositories
* `tlsClientCertData` and `tlsClientCertKey` refer to secrets where a TLS client certificate (`tlsClientCertData`) and the corresponding private key `tlsClientCertKey` are stored for accessing the repositories
### Repositories using self-signed TLS certificates (or are signed by custom CA)
> v1.2 or later
You can manage the TLS certificates used to verify the authenticity of your repository servers in a ConfigMap object named `argocd-tls-certs-cm`. The data section should contain a map, with the repository server's hostname part (not the complete URL) as key, and the certificate(s) in PEM format as data. So, if you connect to a repository with the URL `https://server.example.com/repos/my-repo`, you should use `server.example.com` as key. The certificate data should be either the server's certificate (in case of self-signed certificate) or the certificate of the CA that was used to sign the server's certificate. You can configure multiple certificates for each server, e.g. if you are having a certificate roll-over planned.
If there are no dedicated certificates configured for a repository server, the system's default trust store is used for validating the server's repository. This should be good enough for most (if not all) public Git repository services such as GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket as well as most privately hosted sites which use certificates from well-known CAs, including Let's Encrypt certificates.
An example ConfigMap object:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-tls-certs-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
server.example.com: |

```
!!! note
The `argocd-tls-certs-cm` ConfigMap will be mounted as a volume at the mount path `/app/config/tls` in the pods of `argocd-server` and `argocd-repo-server`. It will create files for each data key in the mount path directory, so above example would leave the file `/app/config/tls/server.example.com`, which contains the certificate data. It might take a while for changes in the ConfigMap to be reflected in your pods, depending on your Kubernetes configuration.
### SSH known host public keys
If you are connecting repositories via SSH, ArgoCD will need to know the SSH known hosts public key of the repository servers. You can manage the SSH known hosts data in the ConfigMap named `argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm`. This ConfigMap contains a single key/value pair, with `ssh_known_hosts` as the key and the actual public keys of the SSH servers as data. As opposed to TLS configuration, the public key(s) of each single repository server ArgoCD will connect via SSH must be configured, otherwise the connections to the repository will fail. There is no fallback. The data can be copied from any existing `ssh_known_hosts` file, or from the output of the `ssh-keyscan` utility. The basic format is `<servername> <keydata>`, one entry per line.
An example ConfigMap object:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd

```
!!! note
The `argocd-ssh-known-hosts-cm` ConfigMap will be mounted as a volume at the mount path `/app/config/ssh` in the pods of `argocd-server` and `argocd-repo-server`. It will create a file `ssh_known_hosts` in that directory, which contains the SSH known hosts data used by ArgoCD for connecting to Git repositories via SSH. It might take a while for changes in the ConfigMap to be reflected in your pods, depending on your Kubernetes configuration.
## Clusters
Cluster credentials are stored in secrets same as repository credentials but does not require entry in `argocd-cm` config map. Each secret must have label
`argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster`.
The secret data must include following fields:
* `name` - cluster name
* `server` - cluster api server url
* `config` - JSON representation of following data structure:
```yaml
# Basic authentication settings
username: string
password: string
# Bearer authentication settings
bearerToken: string
# IAM authentication configuration
awsAuthConfig:
clusterName: string
roleARN: string
# Transport layer security configuration settings
tlsClientConfig:
# PEM-encoded bytes (typically read from a client certificate file).
caData: string
# PEM-encoded bytes (typically read from a client certificate file).
certData: string
# Server should be accessed without verifying the TLS certificate
insecure: boolean
# PEM-encoded bytes (typically read from a client certificate key file).
keyData: string
# ServerName is passed to the server for SNI and is used in the client to check server
# ceritificates against. If ServerName is empty, the hostname used to contact the
# server is used.
serverName: string
```
Cluster secret example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: mycluster-secret
labels:
argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster
type: Opaque
stringData:
name: mycluster.com
server: https://mycluster.com
config: |
{
"bearerToken": "<authentication token>",
"tlsClientConfig": {
"insecure": false,
"caData": "<base64 encoded certificate>"
}
}
```
## Helm Chart Repositories
Non standard Helm Chart repositories have to be registered under the `repositories` key in the
`argocd-cm` ConfigMap. Each repository must have `url`, `type` and `name` fields. For private Helm repos you
may need to configure access credentials and HTTPS settings using `usernameSecret`, `passwordSecret`,
`caSecret`, `certSecret` and `keySecret` fields.
Example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd
data:
# v1.2 or earlier use `helm.repositories`
helm.repositories: |
- url: https://storage.googleapis.com/istio-prerelease/daily-build/master-latest-daily/charts
name: istio.io
# v1.3 or later use `repositories` with `type: helm`
repositories: |
- type: helm
url: https://storage.googleapis.com/istio-prerelease/daily-build/master-latest-daily/charts
name: istio.io
- type: helm
url: https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
name: argo
usernameSecret:
name: my-secret
key: username
passwordSecret:
name: my-secret
key: password
caSecret:
name: my-secret
key: ca
certSecret:
name: my-secret
key: cert
keySecret:
name: my-secret
key: key
```
## Resource Exclusion/Inclusion
Resources can be excluded from discovery and sync so that ArgoCD is unaware of them. For example, `events.k8s.io` and `metrics.k8s.io` are always excluded. Use cases:
* You have temporal issues and you want to exclude problematic resources.
* There are many of a kind of resources that impacts ArgoCD's performance.
* Restrict ArgoCD's access to certain kinds of resources, e.g. secrets. See [security.md#cluster-rbac](security.md#cluster-rbac).
To configure this, edit the `argcd-cm` config map:
```shell
kubectl edit configmap argocd-cm -n argocd
```
Add `resource.exclusions`, e.g.:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
resource.exclusions: |
- apiGroups:
- "*"
kinds:
- "*"
clusters:
- https://192.168.0.20
kind: ConfigMap
```
The `resource.exclusions` node is a list of objects. Each object can have:
* `apiGroups` A list of globs to match the API group.
* `kinds` A list of kinds to match. Can be "*" to match all.
* `cluster` A list of globs to match the cluster.
If all three match, then the resource is ignored.
In addition to exclusions, you might configure the list of included resources using the `resource.inclusions` setting.
By default, all resource group/kinds are included. The `resource.inclusions` setting allows customizing the list of included group/kinds:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
resource.inclusions: |
- apiGroups:
- "*"
kinds:
- Deployment
clusters:
- https://192.168.0.20
kind: ConfigMap
```
The `resource.inclusions` and `resource.exclusions` might be used together. The final list of resources includes group/kinds specified in `resource.inclusions` minus group/kinds
specified in `resource.exclusions` setting.
Notes:
* Quote globs in your YAML to avoid parsing errors.
* Invalid globs result in the whole rule being ignored.
* If you add a rule that matches existing resources, these will appear in the interface as `OutOfSync`.

## Manage Argo CD Using Argo CD
Argo CD is able to manage itself since all settings are represented by Kubernetes manifests. The suggested way is to create [Kustomize](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize)
based application which uses base Argo CD manifests from [https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/tree/stable/manifests) and apply required changes on top.
Example of `kustomization.yaml`:
```yaml
bases:
- github.com/argoproj/argo-cd//manifests/cluster-install?ref=v1.0.1
# additional resources like ingress rules, cluster and repository secrets.
resources:
- clusters-secrets.yaml
- repos-secrets.yaml
# changes to config maps
patchesStrategicMerge:
- overlays/argo-cd-cm.yaml
```
The live example of self managed Argo CD config is available at [https://cd.apps.argoproj.io](https://cd.apps.argoproj.io) and with configuration
stored at [argoproj/argoproj-deployments](https://github.com/argoproj/argoproj-deployments/tree/master/argocd).
