Getting started

Use the OpenShift web console to install GitOps, enable the Console plugin, and open the GitOps pages.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 or later cluster.
  • You can log in to the web console with cluster-admin permission to install the Operator and enable the plugin.

Install the OpenShift GitOps Operator

  1. In the web console, navigate to Ecosystem → Software Catalog.

  2. In the Filter by keyword box, type Red Hat OpenShift GitOps.

  3. Click the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps tile, then click Install.

  4. Keep the default options unless your cluster requires otherwise, then click Install.

  5. Wait until Ecosystem → Installed Operators shows the Operator as Succeeded.

The software catalog installs the Operator and deploys the Console plugin. You do not download a separate plugin binary.

Enable the GitOps Console plugin

If GitOps is already in the navigation, skip this step. Otherwise follow Enable the GitOps Console plugin.

Open the GitOps pages

  1. In the Administrator or Core platform perspective, click GitOps.

  2. Verify that you can open the following pages:

    • Applications
    • ApplicationSets
    • AppProjects
    • ImageUpdaters
    • Rollouts

ImageUpdaters and Rollouts appear when those CRDs are installed on the cluster.

Verification

  • After a browser refresh, GitOps remains in the navigation.
  • You can open each list page and change the namespace.
