Kubernetes

Hosted by scaleway, argocd manages the kubernetes cluster usint gitops.

Until I put together a diagram for that, this is the rough flow:

1. push up changes on the application repository
2. github actions runs and pushes up a docker image
3. the github action sends a workflow dispatch event to the gitops repository
4. the configured workflow in the gitops repository updates the appropriate deployment definition version and pushes the changes back up to the main branch
5. ArgoCD picks up the change and deploys the new version of the application

Notes

• Authentication is never done with personal access tokens. Those are fine for individuals, but for processes that should be supported long term, using a github app seems like a better idea, plus the same setup can be done in orgs and on enterprise setups.

TODO:

• configure a webhook on the gitops repo to notify argocd, rather than have argocd poll
• style the site better
  • the hamberder menu on mobile is trash
