Use kube context - as `argocd --core`

[nicraMarcin]

Hi, I have not exposed argo server, it is as ClusterIP. I'd like to connect to it using kubernetes api like argocd --core does

$ argocd version --core

How to configure this provider?

provider "argocd" {
  # Configuration options
  # server_addr = "kubernetes"
  insecure = true
  kubernetes {
    config_path = "~/.kube/config"
    config_context = "kind-monitor"
  }
}

server_addr attribure is required :( but if I set it with kubectl api it does't work.

Error: Missing required argument

AFAIK, login --core cannot be used by 3rd-parties for now, since it simulates a local ArgoCD as a backend (and is not available in argo-cd package) I see that you have an argocd-server which makes the use of --core not mandatory for the terraform part. You can try with the port-forward flag so you can use the ClusterIP :

provider "argocd" {
  server_addr = "port-forward"
  username = ""  # <--- needed since not login core anymore
  password = ""  # <--- needed since not login core anymore

  port_forward  = true
  port_forward_with_namespace = "xxx" # <--- if not default namespace

  insecure = true
  kubernetes {
    config_path = "~/.kube/config"
    config_context = "kind-monitor"
  }
  grpc_web = true  # <-- might be needed depending on your config
