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 dependency build"]
      generate:
        command: [sh, -c]
        args: ["helm template --release-name release-name . > 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
