Some new deprecation notice regarding server.extraArgs."--insecure" :

$ helm upgrade --install argocd argo/argo-cd     --namespace argocd --create-namespace     --set server.ingress.hosts="{argocd.$INGRESS_HOST.nip.io}"     --values argo/argocd-values.yaml --wait
Release "argocd" has been upgraded. Happy Helming!
NAME: argocd
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Nov 21 23:18:11 2023
NAMESPACE: argocd
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 2
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
DEPRECATED option server.extraArgs."--insecure" - Use configs.params.server.insecure

In order to access the server UI you have the following options:

1. kubectl port-forward service/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443

    and then open the browser on http://localhost:8080 and accept the certificate

2. enable ingress in the values file `server.ingress.enabled` and either
      - Add the annotation for ssl passthrough: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/ingress/#option-1-ssl-passthrough
      - Set the `configs.params."server.insecure"` in the values file and terminate SSL at your ingress: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/ingress/#option-2-multiple-ingress-objects-and-hosts


After reaching the UI the first time you can login with username: admin and the random password generated during the installation. You can find the password by running:

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

(You should delete the initial secret afterwards as suggested by the Getting Started Guide: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/#4-login-using-the-cli)
