第1章 Installing optional RPM packages
When you install MicroShift, you can add optional RPM packages to help manage your deployments. Examples of optional RPMs include those designed to expand your network, add and manage Operators, and manage applications. Use the following procedures to add the packages that you need.
1.1. Installing the GitOps Argo CD manifests from an RPM package
You can use a lightweight version of Red Hat OpenShift GitOps with MicroShift to help manage your applications by installing the microshift-gitops RPM package.
The microshift-gitops RPM package includes the necessary manifests to run core Argo CD.
The Argo CD web console is not available on MicroShift. This process installs basic GitOps functions.
Prerequisites
- You installed MicroShift version 4.16 or later.
- You configured 250MB RAM of additional storage.
Procedure
Enable the GitOps repository with the subscription manager by running the following command:
$ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable=gitops-1.16-for-rhel-9-$(uname -m)-rpmsInstall the MicroShift GitOps package by running the following command:
$ sudo dnf install -y microshift-gitopsTo deploy Argo CD pods, restart MicroShift by running the following command:
$ sudo systemctl restart microshift
Verification
You can verify that your pods are running properly by entering the following command:
$ oc get pods -n openshift-gitopsExample output
