This PR provides a way to set extra environmental variables through the downward API.
Why?
When managing multiple clusters often the difference between helm values boils down to the
authPath
which is set to a path including the cluster unique ID.With the latest release of ArgoCD it is now possible to leverage the
argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id
annotation to provide the cluster ID to every deployment.Leveraging the downward API we can programmatically read the cluster ID from the
argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id
annotation and set theauthPath
for all clusters programmatically without the need for a cluster specific value file.Example:
Generate the injector deployment:
This will produce the yaml:
The resulting env in the running pod shows:
The generated Env variables and configuration is valid for any cluster removing the need for cluster specific values
