# Argo CD — noble (bootstrap)

**Prerequisites:** cluster **Ready**, **MetalLB** pool **`192.168.50.210`–`229`** (Argo CD uses **`192.168.50.210`**; Traefik **`192.168.50.211`**).

## 1. Install

```bash
helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install argocd argo/argo-cd \
  --namespace argocd \
  --create-namespace \
  --version 9.4.17 \
  -f clusters/noble/bootstrap/argocd/values.yaml \
  --wait
```

## 2. UI / CLI address

```bash
kubectl get svc -n argocd argocd-server
```

**LoadBalancer** should show **`192.168.50.210`**. Log in as **`admin`**; initial password:

```bash
kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
echo
```

Change the password in the UI or via `argocd account update-password`.

## 3. Register this repo (if private)

Use **Settings → Repositories** in the UI, or `argocd repo add` / a `Secret` of type `repository`.

## 4. App-of-apps (optional)

1. Edit **`root-application.yaml`**: set **`repoURL`** and **`targetRevision`** to this repository.
2. Commit **`Application`** manifests under **`apps/`** (see **`apps/README.md`**).
3. Apply the root:

   ```bash
   kubectl apply -f clusters/noble/bootstrap/argocd/root-application.yaml
   ```

Until **`apps/`** contains valid **`Application`** resources, the root app may show **OutOfSync** or sync nothing — that is expected.

## Versions

Pinned in **`values.yaml`** comments (chart **9.4.17** / Argo CD **v3.3.6** at time of writing). Bump **`--version`** when upgrading.
