Here's the project: run a tv station entirely in kubernetes, with streaming etc.
First thing I need to do is set up minikube with argocd
	# https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/
	# (and using notes from before)
	minikube start && kubectl get pods -A # Start minikube and make sure things are running
	kubectl create namespace argocd # And run the install apply script
	pacman -S argocd # Install CLI

	# Expose port for service
	kubectl get pods -n argocd # (need the argocd bit) check if pods are running yet
	kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443 # Expose website (holds terminal)
	# https://localhost:8080 points to ArgoCD
	
	# Log in to console
	argocd admin initial-password -n argocd # Get initial password
	argocd login localhost:8080 # user=admin pass=(above) - this just logs in your terminal?
	# Does not put you into any subshell or anything

Now I need to add a gitlab repo for minitv: https://gitlab.com/cs_net/minitv
	# I've gone in and turned off most of everything but made it public
	kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=argocd # Change to the argocd namespace
	kubectl create namespace minitv

	# Need to be "logged in" to do this
	argocd app create minitv \
	 --repo https://gitlab.com/cs_net/minitv.git --path minitv \
	 --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc --dest-namespace minitv

	# Try to run it - it fails - "repository not available" - need to get an access token
	# "Gitlab sidebar/Settings/Repository/Deploy Tokens" - make new token

Going to try this in the web UI instead just to test it
Okay I needed "project name" to be "default" - now it's saying it's an empty repo
Cloned repo locally and added a README - now saying subdirectory does not exist
Need to compare to a working version someone else has - will do later
