Problem:

Related to: https://sagebionetworks.jira.com/browse/DPE-1435
I want to add my fork repository to argo CD to deploy amp-als. When I deployed argocd locally, I added my fork repo using:

kubectl create secret generic github-app-creds \
  -n argocd \
  --from-literal=appId=123456 \
  --from-literal=installationId=7891011 \
  --from-file=privateKey=path/to/github-app-private-key.pem

and then modify argoCD configMap by hand. But the process of creating secrets and modifying configMap couldn't be tracked by Github.

Since we install argoCD through helm, I could try:

configs:
  cm:
    repository.credentials: |
      - url: https://github.com/your-org
        githubAppIDSecret:
          name: github-app-creds
          key: appId
        githubAppInstallationIDSecret:
          name: github-app-creds
          key: installationId
        githubAppPrivateKeySecret:
          name: github-app-creds
          key: privateKey

To populate the github-app-creds Secret in the argocd namespace, I can either create it manually using the command line as shown above, or manage it declaratively through the External Secrets Operator.

Depends on #72

Solution:

• Just like airflow, deploy external secret operator as an ArgoCD application
