Environment Variables¶

The following environment variables are available in argocd-operator:

Environment Variable	Default Value	Description
`CONTROLLER_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the Argo CD application controller with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn't create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`SERVER_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the Argo CD server with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn’t create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`PRINCIPAL_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the Argo CD Agent principal component with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn’t create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`AGENT_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the Argo CD Agent agent component with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn’t create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`PROMOTER_CONTROLLER_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the GitOps Promoter Controller with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn’t create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`PROMOTER_API_SERVER_CLUSTER_ROLE`	none	Administrators can configure a common cluster role for all the managed namespaces in role bindings for the GitOps Promoter API Server with this environment variable. Note: If this environment variable contains custom roles, the Operator doesn’t create the default admin role. Instead, it uses the existing custom role for all managed namespaces.
`REMOVE_MANAGED_BY_LABEL_ON_ARGOCD_DELETION`	false	When an Argo CD instance is deleted, namespaces managed by that instance (via the `argocd.argoproj.io/managed-by` label ) will retain the label by default. Users can change this behavior by setting the environment variable `REMOVE_MANAGED_BY_LABEL_ON_ARGOCD_DELETION` to `true` in the Subscription.
`ARGOCD_LABEL_SELECTOR`	none	The label selector can be set on argocd-opertor by exporting `ARGOCD_LABEL_SELECTOR` (eg: `export ARGOCD_LABEL_SELECTOR=foo=bar`). The labels can be added to the argocd instances using the command `kubectl label argocd test1 foo=bar -n test-argocd`. This will enable the operator instance to be tailored to oversee only the corresponding ArgoCD instances having the matching label selector.
`LOG_LEVEL`	info	This sets the logging level of the manager (operator) pod. Valid values are "debug", "info", "warn", "error", "panic" and "fatal".
`MEMORY_OPTIMIZATION_ENABLED`	true	When set to `false`, disables the memory optimization that strips data from Secrets and ConfigMaps that are not tracked by the operator. This optimization helps reduce memory usage.

Custom Environment Variables are supported in applicationSet, controller, notifications, repo and server components. For example:

...
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: argocd
  labels:
    example: controller
spec:
  controller:
    resources: {}
    env:
      - name: FOO
        value: bar
...

The following default value of images could be overridden by setting the environment variables:

Environment Variable	Default Value
`ARGOCD_IMAGE`	quay.io/argoproj/argocd
`ARGOCD_IMAGE_UPDATER_IMAGE`	quay.io/argoprojlabs/argocd-image-updater
`ARGOCD_DEX_IMAGE`	ghcr.io/dexidp/dex
`ARGOCD_REDIS_IMAGE`	redis
`ARGOCD_REDIS_HA_IMAGE`	redis
`ARGOCD_REDIS_HA_PROXY_IMAGE`	haproxy
