PlatformUbuntu 24.04 LTS

Quick start

  1. Open https://<VM-IP>/ in your browser (self-signed certificate on first boot).
  2. Sign in as `admin` with the initial password (see command below), then change it immediately.
  3. Connect your Git repository and create your first Application — Argo CD reconciles the cluster to match Git.

Get your admin password (one time)

SSH into the VM with the username + key you chose at deploy, then print the generated credential:

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d

Sign in as admin (unless noted), then change the password immediately. The file is root-only and can be deleted once the password is stored securely.
