• Dry-Run Install the Chart into the Cluster:

$ helm install redis-cluster --debug --dry-run . 
install.go:178: [debug] Original chart version: ""
install.go:195: [debug] CHART PATH: /Users/ajarrett/Documents/Projects/Helm/redis-cluster

• Install into the Cluster:

$ helm install redis-cluster . --namespace redis --create-namespace --set redis.operator.install=true --wait  
NAME: redis-cluster

• Wait for all three rec[0-2] pods to successfully deploy

$ oc get pods

• navigate to the url endpoint

oc get route rec-ui -o json | jq -r '.spec.host'
rec-ui-redis.apps.uki-okd.demo.redislabs.com

NOTE: Its HTTPS - https://rec-ui-redis.apps.uki-okd.demo.redislabs.com

To get the login details:

$ oc get secret rec -n redis --template={{.data.username}} | base64 -d

Uninstall:

Unfortunately uninstalling the cluster is not currently as simple as a helm uninstall redis-cluster due to the fact that the operator is deleted before the deletion of the redis-cluster is completed. This leaves the cluster definition in constant 'Termination' status due to the finalizers of the rec custom resource not being satisfied by the Operator.

// TODO : Add Helm Pre-Uninstall and Post-Uninstall hooks to perform below tasks

To delete follow these steps:

$ oc delete rec rec 
redisenterprisecluster.app.redislabs.com "rec" deleted

$ helm uninstall redis-cluster 
release "redis-cluster" uninstalled

$ oc get csv

View Available Operators on Openshift Cluster:

$ oc get packagemanifests -n openshift-marketplace | grep redis

redis-operator                                      Community Operators   71d

NOTE: To view installation options: oc describe packagemanifests redis-enterprise-operator-cert-rhmp -n openshift-marketplace

ArgoCD:

1. Install the Openshift-GitOps operator or the ArgoCD operator.
2. Login with Admin or SSO user:
   1. Navigate to oc get route openshift-gitops-server -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}{"\n"}'

# Get the admin Password
oc get secret/openshift-gitops-cluster -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.data.admin\.password}' | base64 -d
#Or bind to a local ENV Var
argoPass=$(oc get secret/openshift-gitops-cluster -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.data.admin\.password}' | base64 -d)

# ArgoCD Server URL 
oc get route openshift-gitops-server -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}{"\n"}'
#Or bind to a local ENV Var
argoURL=$(oc get route openshift-gitops-server -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}{"\n"}')

# Login via CLI
argocd login --insecure --grpc-web $argoURL  --username admin --password $argoPass

# Or Login via SSO 
argocd login -sso --insecure --grpc-web $argoURL 

2. Give the Gitops Service Account CRUD permissions into a namespace

$ oc adm policy add-role-to-user admin system:serviceaccount:openshift-gitops:openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller -n redis
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/admin added: "system:serviceaccount:openshift-gitops:openshift-gitops-argocd-application-controller"
