Install with ArgoCD

Prerequisites

  • Your workstation: Install the Argo CD CLI.
  • Kubernetes cluster:
    • Ensure that each node fulfills the installation requirements.

    • Install Argo CD.

      kubectl create namespace argocd
      kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/core-install.yaml
      

      Allow some time for the deployment of Argo CD components in the argocd namespace.

Installing Longhorn

  1. Log in to Argo CD.

    argocd login --core
    
  2. Set the current namespace to argocd.

    kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=argocd
    
  3. Create the Longhorn Application custom resource.

    cat > longhorn-application.yaml <<EOF
    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Application
    metadata:
      name: longhorn
      namespace: argocd
    spec:
      syncPolicy:
        syncOptions:
          - CreateNamespace=true
      project: default
      sources:
        - chart: longhorn
          repoURL: https://charts.longhorn.io/
          targetRevision: v1.7.1 # Replace with the Longhorn version you'd like to install or upgrade to
          helm:
            values: |
              preUpgradeChecker:
                jobEnabled: false
      destination:
        server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
        namespace: longhorn-system
    EOF
    kubectl apply -f longhorn-application.yaml
    
  4. Deploy Longhorn with the configured settings.

    argocd app sync longhorn
