Unable to Access ArgoCD Web UI - Connection Issue

Question

I'm having trouble accessing the ArgoCD web UI, and I'm seeking assistance to troubleshoot the issue. Here are the details:

Problem Description:

• I have successfully installed ArgoCD on my Kubernetes cluster using Minikube.
• The ArgoCD server appears to be running without errors, as confirmed by the following commands: kubectl get pods -n argocd

Issue Faced:

• When attempting to access the ArgoCD web UI via the browser at https://localhost:8080 (or via my VM IP addr), the connection fails.

Additional Information:

• I have tried restarting Minikube, but the issue persists.
• The port-forwarding command used is: kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
• CURL result :

curl -k https://10.244.0.33:8080
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.244.0.33 port 8080: Connection refused
