    # How to Build & Run Dockerized ArogCD CLI

    This quick guide shows you how to build a Dockerized `argocd` CLI. The advantage of this setup is that it's platform-independent. Also, I personally found the Linux installation annoying and buggy, and this proves to be a much more streamlined approach. Interestingly enough, the MacOS and the Windows installers were way less finnicky.

    ## Dockerfile

    Save the text below to `Dockerfile.argocd` in a folder called `docker`

    ```dockerfile
    FROM argoproj/argocd:v1.7.6 as builder

    FROM ubuntu:18.04 as app

    COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/argocd /usr/local/bin/argocd

    ENTRYPOINT [ "argocd" ]
    ```

    ## Build

    Builds the file `Dockerfile.argocd`, located in the `docker` folder. Build context is `docker`

    ```bash
    docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.argocd -t docker-argocd:1.0.0 docker
    ```

    ## Run

    Create an alias and add it to your `.bashrc`. This maps your local `.kube/config` and local `./argocd/config` files to the ones in the container.

    ```bash
    alias argocd='docker run -it --rm -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config -v ~/.argocd/config:/root/.argocd/config docker-argocd:1.0.0' >> ~/.bashrc
    ```

    Run your favorite `argocd` commands. For example:

    ```bash
    argocd version
    argocd repo add
    argocd login
    ```
