FlowCD

A lightweight GitOps controller for Kubernetes clusters inspired by Argo CD.

why i am building this?

Managing and deploying gitops applications with argocd or Fluxcd is quite complex as we want to understand each of the component how it working like as in argo we have two servers and controller for syncing and ui ,cli. Now i want make things simple for gitops deployment in k8s so i am building this Flowcd, just write your custom resourse like this

apiVersion: flowcd.io/v1alpha1
kind: FlowCD
metadata:
  name: nginx-app
  namespace: default
spec:
  source:
    repoURL: "https://github.com/sagnik3788/Gitops-controller.git"
    branch: "main"
    path: "manifests"
  destination:
    namespace: "default"
  deploymentStrategy:
    type: "QuickSync"

and write kubectl apply -f flowcd.yaml and your FlowCD application will be deployed to the default namespace

no complexity simple architecture which you can scale easily and separately we divided into 3 components

1. flowcd server
2. flowcd controller
3. flowctl cli

I liked the sync strategies of pipecd so i follow those strategies

• quick-sync
• pipeline-sync
• custom-sync

I know this project is not perfect for production env but ig we can improve it right :)
