multiple-spring-cloud-ms-config-repo-folders

public repo with general settings for all kind of microservices for spring cloud config server for general use of project specific in subfolders

subfolder structure

• common-config
  • => this folder contains config files for whatever kind of project with general settings to reuse
  • => for example, eureka-service-discovery, gateway-general-settings, DB settings, docker settings etc.
• project-config
  • => this folder will contain config files for sample-projects, other kind of projects etc.
  • => for example department-service, user-service, auth-service, mail-service, etc.
  • => group per project, or per application, or both etc.
  • => need to think for a good structure

Querying the Configuration

Now we’re able to start our server. 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

The {label} placeholder refers to a Git branch, {application} to the client’s application name, and the {profile} to the client’s current active application profile.

So we can retrieve the configuration for our planned config client running under the development profile in branch master via:

$> curl http://root:s3cr3t@localhost:8888/config-client/development/master

Locating Remote Configuration Resources

The Config Service serves property sources from /{application}/{profile}/{label}, where the default bindings in the client app are as follows:

"application" = ${spring.application.name}

"profile" = ${spring.profiles.active} (actually Environment.getActiveProfiles())

"label" = "master"

When setting the property ${spring.application.name} do not prefix your app name with the reserved word application- to prevent issues resolving the correct property source. You can override all of them by setting spring.cloud.config.* (where * is name, profile or label). The label is useful for rolling back to previous versions of configuration. With the default Config Server implementation, it can be a git label, branch name, or commit ID. Label can also be provided as a comma-separated list. In that case, the items in the list are tried one by one until one succeeds. This behavior can be useful when working on a feature branch. For instance, you might want to align the config label with your branch but make it optional (in that case, use spring.cloud.config.label=myfeature,develop).
