Helm + Kustomize

Sometimes Helm chart don't have all required parameters and additional customization is required. This example application demonstrates how to combine Helm and Kustomize and use it as a config management plugin in Argo CD.

Use following steps to try the application:

• configure kustomized-helm tool in argocd-cm ConfigMap:

  configManagementPlugins: |
  - name: kustomized-helm
    init:
      command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
      args: ["helm init --client-only && helm dependency build"]
    generate:
      command: [sh, -c]
      args: ["helm template . > all.yaml && kustomize build"]
  

• create application using kustomized-helm as a config management plugin name:

  argocd app create kustomized-helm \
  --config-management-plugin kustomized-helm \
  --repo https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps \
  --path plugins/kustomized-helm \
  --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
  --dest-namespace default
