ArgoCD Setup

Complete the steps for setting up the ArgoCD tool to support integration with Artifactory as a Helm repository

Overview

ArgoCD is the environment’s continuous delivery tool. Before you can use it as part of the environment, it must first be configured.

Prerequisites

Before setting up ArgoCD, set up Artifactory so that ArgoCD can use it as a Helm repository.

  5. In the New Repository dialog, select helm for the repository type, provide a name to identify the repository, and enter the Artifactory deploy url for the repository url. Press Connect to create the repository. ArgoCD - New helm repository

  6. The repository should now appear and the list and can be used for application deployments
