Argocd deployed on kubernetes playground is not working

karanahuja079 · December 2, 2024, 7:25am

I have used below command to deploy argocd with below commands.

kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

After that I changed argocd-server service type to nodeport and ran below command to forward the port.

kubectl port-forward service/argocd-server -n argocd 8081:80 --address 0.0.0.0

Now, I am getting below error while trying to open webpage on browser

This page isn’t working

8081-port-34c559d3d8ca4c26.labs.kodekloud.com redirected you too many times.

Hi,

Please try again with: kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8081:443

Heya, I ran into the same issue and stumbled upon this thread. After some search, it appeared that ArgoCD is redirecting to HTTPS by default due to TLS termination.

To resolve this, follow the github thread below to set the configmap params. After that I was able to view port and access argocd UI on the playground.

The following configuration was performed according to the official documentatio…n(https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/getting_started/): apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: argocd-server-ingress annotations: kubernetes.io/ingress.class: crs-nginx nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: "true" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true" spec: rules: - host: argocd.gril.com http: paths: - backend: serviceName: argocd-server servicePort: 443 now，encounter a redirect loop or are getting a 307 response code.So I added nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS" according to the official documentation to the configuration above. The web page can be opened normally,But I got the following error during argocd login command `FATA[0008] rpc error: code = Internal desc = transport: received the unexpected content-type "text/plain; charset=utf-8"` I don't know how to configure it to open the page normally and the argocd login command can log in normally.
