How to manage Flux resources

In case you already deployed Flux with flux bootstrap command.

1. New Application, name it as flux-system, set URL to be flux://loopback with Path ./
2. Choose the destination namespace to flux-system
3. Create the app

Here's an example

Delete App

You can safely delete an ArgoCD app and let Flux continue to take care of your system by choosing to delete it with non-cascading.
