v0.9.0

on Artifact Hub

Release description

We're happy to announce that starting with release v0.9.0, support for persisting changes to Git was added. Please be aware that using the Git write back feature will require Argo CD v2.0 and upwards.

Also, we are working towards a more "zero-conf" approach. For this, we have introduced a new way for interacting with Argo CD using the Kubernetes API. This removes the previous requirement of having to change your Argo CD configuration (e.g. creating a user, RBAC rules, etc) and we hope will make integration much easier for our users. This also has become the default. In order to use the Argo CD API, the --applications-api parameter must be explicitly set to argocd.

Upgrade from v0.8.0 is attached with a couple of required actions, please see below.

Upgrade notes (no really, you MUST read this)

• Attention: By default, argocd-image-updater now uses the K8s API to retrieve applications, instead of the Argo CD API. Also, it is now recommended to install in the same namespace as Argo CD is running in (argocd by default). For existing installations, which are running in a dedicated namespace.

  To retain previous behaviour, set applications_api: argocd in argocd-image-updater-config ConfigMap before updating. However, it is recommended to move your installation into the argocd namespace (or wherever your Argo CD is installed to)

• The permissions for the argocd-image-updater-sa ServiceAccount have been adapted to allow read access to resources of type Secret and argoproj.io/Application
