The Server provides an HTTP, resource-based API for external configuration (name-value pairs, or equivalent YAML content). The server is easily embeddable in a Spring Boot application using the -@EnableConfigServer annotation.

+@EnableConfigServer annotation. So this app is a config server:

+ +
+
ConfigServer.java
+
+
@SpringBootApplication
+@EnableConfigServer
+public class ConfigServer {
+  public static void main(String[] args) {
+    SpringApplication.run(ConfigServer.class, args);
+  }
+}
+

Like all Spring Boot apps it runs on port 8080 by default, but you +can switch it to the conventional port 8888 in various ways. The +easiest, which also sets a default configuration repository, +is by launching it with spring.config.name=configserver (there +is a configserver.yml in the Config Server jar). Another is +to use your own application.properties, e.g.

+
+
+
application.properties
+
+
server.port: 8888
+spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri: file://${HOME}/config-repo
+
+
+
+

where ${HOME}/config-repo is a git repository containing +YAML and properties files.

+
Tip
+		 +
+

Here’s a recipe for creating the git repository in the example +above:

+
+
+
+
$ cd $HOME
+$ mkdir config-repo
+$ cd config-repo
+$ git init .
+$ echo info.foo: bar > application.properties
+$ git add -A .
+$ git commit -m "Add application.properties"
+
