Hello, Argo Workflows!

In this section, we'll deploy basic Argo Workflows application by using official Helm chart.

Download Argo Helm chart​

Download Helm chart from following link:
https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm

Move the chart to the folder you want. For example:

k3s-argo-helm
|- argo-cd
|- argo-events
|- argo-workflows
|- ...

Install Helm chart​

Now let's deploy Argo Workflows.
Type the command below on the folder where chart exists.

helm install my-argowf ./argo-workflows -n argo-wf --create-namespace

Helm install result

It is installed successfully.
Check K8S objects with kubectl get all -n argo-wf command.

C:\Users\HU\DevWin\k3s-argo-helm>kubectl get all -n argo-wf

Let's access to Argo Workflows application too.
We'll use kubectl port-forward command this time for short check.

kubectl port-forward svc/my-argowf-argo-workflows-server -n argo-wf 8000:2746

Now open the browser and navigate to localhost:8000.

Argo Workflows login screen

By now we cannot log in to Argo, but it works!
To undeploy Argo, type the command below.

helm uninstall my-argowf -n argo-wf
