Getting started

Deploying the RHOSO GitOps pattern

Deploy the RHOSO GitOps pattern on a single Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Complete the prerequisites, prepare your fork of the pattern repository, install with ./pattern.sh, and verify that Argo CD Applications are healthy.

Prerequisites

Before you deploy the pattern, verify that you have the following:

A Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 or later cluster with enough compute and storage for RHOSO. For sizing guidance, see Cluster sizing.
Cluster administrator privileges and a working kubeconfig.
Podman 4.3 or later for ./pattern.sh.
Red Hat OpenShift GitOps available on the cluster (installed by the pattern framework or pre-installed).
The required tool dependencies are installed.

Preparing for deployment

Procedure

Fork the rhoso-gitops repository on GitHub.

Clone your fork:

$ git clone git@github.com:<your_organization>/rhoso-gitops.git

Change to the repository directory:
```
$ cd rhoso-gitops
```
Optional: If you plan to use Vault integration later, copy the secrets template:
```
$ cp values-secret.yaml.template values-secret.yaml
```

Installing the pattern

Procedure

Validate prerequisites without applying changes:
```
$ ./pattern.sh make validate-prereq
```
Preview the rendered manifests:
```
$ ./pattern.sh make show
```
Install the pattern:
```
$ ./pattern.sh make install
```

Verifying the deployment

Procedure

List Argo CD applications in vp-gitops:
```
$ oc get applications -n vp-gitops
```
List Argo CD applications in rhoso-gitops-standalone:
```
$ oc get applications -n rhoso-gitops-standalone
```
After install, run the pattern health check:
```
$ ./pattern.sh make argo-healthcheck
```
Validate the pattern schema:
```
$ ./pattern.sh make validate-schema
```
