Spring Config Server

# Spring Config Server

## Overview

The Spring Config Server provides an externalized configuration in a distributed system. With the
Config Server, you can manage shared configuration across multiple applications and environments.

## Setup and Installation

1. Add the Spring Cloud Config Server dependency in your `pom.xml`:

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

2. Annotate your main application class with @EnableConfigServer:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigServer
public class ConfigServerApplication {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(ConfigServerApplication.class, args);
  }
}

3. Configure your application properties in application.yml or application.properties:

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: https://github.com/your-repo/config-repo

Usage

To use the Config Server, your client applications need to have the Spring Cloud Config Client dependency and point to the Config Server's URL in their bootstrap configuration.

Client Setup

1. Add the Spring Cloud Config Client dependency in your pom.xml:

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

2. Configure your bootstrap properties in bootstrap.yml or bootstrap.properties:

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      uri: http://localhost:8888

Now, your client applications can consume the externalized configuration provided by the Config Server.

Refreshing Configuration

To refresh the configuration at runtime, you can expose the /actuator/refresh endpoint in your client applications and trigger a POST request to it.

Security

You can secure your Config Server using Spring Security. Please refer to the official Spring Security documentation for more details.
