Deploy your first app

Deploy hello-kupe with managed Argo CD and open it at its HTTPS URL.

Note

Replace <tenant> below with your tenant name (from kupe auth whoami) and <cluster> with your cluster name (dev if you followed the previous step).

Apply the Argo CD Application

Create the Application in your cluster’s argocd namespace. Use your tenant name for spec.project. You can also use the Argo CD UI.

Save this as hello-kupe.yaml:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: hello-kupe
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  project: <tenant>
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/kupecloud/hello-kupe.git
    targetRevision: main
    path: chart
    helm:
      releaseName: hello-kupe
      values: |
        tenant: <tenant>
        cluster: <cluster>
  destination:
    name: <tenant>--<cluster>-<suffix>
    namespace: hello-kupe
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
      - CreateNamespace=true

Copy the exact cluster NAME from Settings → Clusters in Argo CD and use it for destination.name. Copy it again after recreating a cluster; do not construct it yourself.

Apply it:

kubectl apply -f hello-kupe.yaml

Confirm it synced

Note

Check sync and health in Argo CD or inspect the workload. kubectl get application in your cluster does not show deployment status.

Check one of these instead.

The workload itself

The most direct check is whether your app has running pods:

kubectl get deploy,pods -n hello-kupe

The namespace is created by the sync, so it takes a few seconds to appear.

Argo CD

Open argocd.kupe.cloud from the console’s app switcher and find the hello-kupe application in your project. Sync Status and Health are populated here, because this is where the application actually runs.

Open the app

The chart creates an HTTPRoute at:

https://hello-kupe.<cluster>.<tenant>.clusters.kupe.cloud

Open it in your browser. You should see the hello-kupe welcome page.

Next

See it in Grafana: dashboards, logs, and metrics.
