Argo CLI Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened Argo CLI image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

Argo Workflows is a workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes that can be used to run CI/CD pipelines natively on Kubernetes. Argo CLI is a command-line tool for interacting with Argo Workflows from your terminal.

Try It Out

To take the Minimus Argo CLI image for a test run, look up the version information:

docker run --rm \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli version

Ready to manage workflows?

To submit a workflow, first replace the hello-world.yaml with your workflow YAML file and run:

docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
-e KUBECONFIG=/workdir/kubeconfig \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli submit /workdir/hello-world.yaml

This command submits the YAML workflow to the cluster defined in kubeconfig.

To list all workflows in the current namespace:

docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
-e KUBECONFIG=/workdir/kubeconfig \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli list

To get details by a workflow name (for example, my-workflow):

docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
-e KUBECONFIG=/workdir/kubeconfig \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli get my-workflow

To watch workflow progress and stream live updates of the workflow until it completes:

docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
-e KUBECONFIG=/workdir/kubeconfig \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli watch my-workflow

To delete a workflow by name (for example, my-workflow):

docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
-e KUBECONFIG=/workdir/kubeconfig \
reg.mini.dev/argo-cli delete my-workflow

Technical Considerations

The Argo CLI image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.

Argo CLI built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default as user 1000. The public image runs as user argocd.
Starts with the entrypoint argo and a null CMD. The public image has a null entrypoint and a CMD with "/bin/sh", "-c", "${BINARY}".
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.

See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
