Bootstrapping a project with a configuration similar to this one

[NesManrique]

Hello,

I am creating a repo using a similar approach to this one but using helm instead of kustomize. I have a couple questions regarding the setup that I couldn't find explanations in the docs:

1) When you guys bootstrap it in a cluster for the first time I'm guessing the steps are more or less:

• Create the k8s cluster
• Install argocd (manually or with a script)
• Run kubectl apply -n my-argo-namespace -k argoproj-deployments/argoproj or e.g. kustomize build https://github.com/argoproj/argoproj-deployments/tree/master/argoproj/

2) I was wondering why is kustomize the suggested tool to manage argo with argo. Do you have any specific pointers or recommendations if I were to do it with helm instead?

Since helm installs CRDs before other resources, you could accomplish everything in one helm install, like this:
