Installation

Deploy Cased CD Enterprise to your Kubernetes cluster

Cased CD Enterprise deploys alongside your existing ArgoCD installation, providing a modern UI with enterprise features.

Prerequisites

Existing ArgoCD installation (v2.0+)
Kubernetes cluster with kubectl access
Default StorageClass for audit log PVC (or disable persistent audit logging)
Enterprise registry credentials from app.cased.com

Quick install

The interactive installer handles prerequisites, authentication, and deployment:

curl -fsSL https://cased.github.io/cased-cd-enterprise/install.sh | bash

Manual installation

Create registry credentials

The enterprise image requires authentication. Sign up at app.cased.com to receive your registry token.

kubectl create secret docker-registry cased-cd-registry \
  --docker-server=registry.cased.com \
  --docker-username=token \
  --docker-password="YOUR_REGISTRY_TOKEN" \
  --namespace=argocd

Deploy with Helm (recommended)

# Add the Cased Helm repository
helm repo add cased https://cased.github.io/cased-cd-enterprise
helm repo update

# Install Cased CD Enterprise
helm install cased-cd cased/cased-cd-enterprise \
  --namespace argocd \
  --set 'imagePullSecrets[0].name=cased-cd-registry'

Or deploy with kubectl:

kubectl apply -f https://cased.github.io/cased-cd-enterprise/install-enterprise.yaml

Access the UI
Terminal window
```
kubectl port-forward -n argocd svc/cased-cd-enterprise 8080:80
```
Open http://localhost:8080 and log in with your ArgoCD credentials.

Includes persistent audit trail storage (requires StorageClass):

helm install cased-cd cased/cased-cd-enterprise \
  --namespace argocd \
  --set 'imagePullSecrets[0].name=cased-cd-registry'

Or with kubectl:

kubectl apply -f https://cased.github.io/cased-cd-enterprise/install-enterprise.yaml

For clusters without a default StorageClass (Talos, bare-metal):

helm install cased-cd cased/cased-cd-enterprise \
  --namespace argocd \
  --set 'imagePullSecrets[0].name=cased-cd-registry' \
  --set enterprise.auditTrail.enabled=false

Or with kubectl:

kubectl apply -f https://cased.github.io/cased-cd-enterprise/install-enterprise-minimal.yaml

Storage configuration

The audit trail uses a PersistentVolumeClaim. Common storage classes by platform:

Platform	Storage classes
AWS EKS	`gp2`, `gp3`
Google GKE	`standard`, `standard-rwo`
Azure AKS	`default`, `managed-premium`
k3d/k3s	`local-path`

Specify a storage class explicitly:

helm install cased-cd cased/cased-cd-enterprise \
  --namespace argocd \
  --set 'imagePullSecrets[0].name=cased-cd-registry' \
  --set enterprise.persistence.storageClass=gp3

Ingress configuration

Expose Cased CD externally:

helm upgrade cased-cd cased/cased-cd-enterprise \
  --namespace argocd \
  --set 'imagePullSecrets[0].name=cased-cd-registry' \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.className=nginx \
  --set 'ingress.hosts[0].host=cased-cd.example.com' \
  --set 'ingress.hosts[0].paths[0].path=/' \
  --set 'ingress.hosts[0].paths[0].pathType=Prefix'

Verify deployment

# Check pods are running
kubectl get pods -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=cased-cd-enterprise

# Check audit PVC was created (full install only)
kubectl get pvc -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/component=enterprise

# View enterprise backend logs
kubectl logs -n argocd deployment/cased-cd-enterprise -f

What gets deployed

Cased CD frontend — Static React app served by nginx
Enterprise backend — Go service for RBAC, audit, notifications, user management
PersistentVolumeClaim — 10GB storage for audit logs (full install)
RBAC roles — Kubernetes permissions for ConfigMap/Secret access
