Externalized configuration

The server is embeddable in a Spring Boot application, by using the @EnableConfigServer annotation.

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigServer
public class ConfigServerApplication { ... }

and adding project dependencies in pom.xml file

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependencyManagement>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
			<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
			<type>pom</type>
			<scope>import</scope>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Like all Spring Boot applications, it runs on port 8080 by default, but you can switch it to the more conventional port 8888 in application.properties file.

server.port: 8888
spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri: file://${user.home}/config-repo

where ${user.home}/config-repo is a git repository containing YAML and properties files (https://github.com/wanderleisouza/config-repo for me).

The Git-backed configuration API provided by our server can be queried using the following paths:

/{application}/{profile}[/{label}]
/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{application}-{profile}.properties
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties

just start ther config-server as any spring-boot application

mvn spring-boot:run
