Getting Started deployment is broken (missing redis when using the guestbook)

[fungiboletus]

Hi,

I'm following the "Getting Started" ArgoCD documentation. I successfully deployed the guestbook, but you may want to know that the deployment is broken. Redis is missing.

I get the following PHP exception when I post a message:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught exception 'Predis\Connection\ConnectionException' with message 'php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known [tcp://redis:6379]' in /usr/local/lib/php/Predis/Connection/AbstractConnection.php:155

It's not critical to understand ArgoCD, but I think it would look better if the first deployment you do using ArgoCD works 🙂

Thanks for opening this @fungiboletus!

Agreed that the sample app should be connected to redis and work as expected. We could use the kubernetes/example manifest shown here. Unfortunately, the app is broken as I discovered/mentioned in this issue.

We could maybe think about hosting our own frontend image to help resolve this and get the example fixed sooner if there isn't a new image made available soon.

I also ran into this issue, is there another example here that would work?

@jamesdesmond If you are looking for a working guestbook app synced by Argo CD, you could use the following repo/commands:

argocd app create guestbook --repo https://github.com/danielhelfand/examples --path guestbook/all-in-one --directory-include guestbook-all-in-one.yaml --dest-name in-cluster --dest-namespace default

argo app sync guestbook

It's my own personal repository with my own guestbook image on dockerhub. In this repository, the app deployed is just the UI at the moment.

Really! This makes me worry about using this product within a commercial production environment. The Demo is broken and doesn't run?? If this CD tool is so good, how can it not also deploy the Redis Service to allow the demo to run..

This is scary that this is over a year old and oneone has reviewed this?
