Red Hat build of MicroShift

Install 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)-rpms
```
Install the MicroShift GitOps package by running the following command:
```
$ sudo dnf install -y microshift-gitops
```
To 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-gitops
