Spring Cloud Config provides server-side and client-side support for externalized configuration in a distributed system. With the Config Server, you have a central place to manage external properties for applications across all environments. The concepts on both client and server map identically to the Spring Environment and PropertySource abstractions, so they fit very well with Spring applications but can be used with any application running in any language. As an application moves through the deployment pipeline from dev to test and into production, you can manage the configuration between those environments and be certain that applications have everything they need to run when they migrate. The default implementation of the server storage backend uses git, so it easily supports labelled versions of configuration environments as well as being accessible to a wide range of tooling for managing the content. It is easy to add alternative implementations and plug them in with Spring configuration.

== Features

=== Spring Cloud Config Server

Spring Cloud Config Server offers the following benefits:

HTTP resource-based API for external configuration (name-value pairs or equivalent YAML content)
Encrypt and decrypt property values (symmetric or asymmetric)
Embeddable easily in a Spring Boot application using @EnableConfigServer

=== Spring Cloud Config Client

Specifically for Spring applications, Spring Cloud Config Client lets you:

Bind to the Config Server and initialize Spring Environment with remote property sources.
Encrypt and decrypt property values (symmetric or asymmetric).
@RefreshScope for Spring @Beans that want to be re-initialized when configuration changes.
Use management endpoints: ** /env for updating Environment and rebinding @ConfigurationProperties and log levels. ** /refresh for refreshing the @RefreshScope beans. ** /restart for restarting the Spring context (disabled by default). ** /pause and /resume for calling the Lifecycle methods (stop() and start() on the ApplicationContext).
Bootstrap application context: a parent context for the main application that can be trained to do anything (by default, it binds to the Config Server and decrypts property values).

== Quick Start

This quick start walks through using both the server and the client of Spring Cloud Config Server.

First, start the server, as follows:

$ cd spring-cloud-config-server $ ../mvnw spring-boot:run

The server is a Spring Boot application, so you can run it from your IDE if you prefer to do so (the main class is ConfigServerApplication).

Next try out a client, as follows:

$ curl localhost:8888/foo/development {"name":"foo","label":"master","propertySources":[ {"name":"https://github.com/scratches/config-repo/foo-development.properties","source":{"bar":"spam"}}, {"name":"https://github.com/scratches/config-repo/foo.properties","source":{"foo":"bar"}} ]}

The default strategy for locating property sources is to clone a git repository (at spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri) and use it to initialize a mini SpringApplication. The mini-application's Environment is used to enumerate property sources and publish them at a JSON endpoint.

The HTTP service has resources in the following form:

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

where application is injected as the spring.config.name in the SpringApplication (what is normally application in a regular Spring Boot app), profile is an active profile (or comma-separated list of properties), and label is an optional git label (defaults to master.)

Spring Cloud Config Server pulls configuration for remote clients from various sources. The following example gets configuration from a git repository (which must be provided), as shown in the following example:

[source,yaml]

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

Other sources are any JDBC compatible database, Subversion, Hashicorp Vault, Credhub and local filesystems.

=== Client Side Usage

To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on spring-cloud-config-client (for an example, see the test cases for the config-client or the sample application). The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config. There is also a parent pom and BOM (spring-cloud-starter-parent) for Maven users and a Spring IO version management properties file for Gradle and Spring CLI users. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration:

[source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>{spring-boot-docs-version}</version>
    <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

<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>

<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
	<plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
	</plugins>
</build>

<!-- repositories also needed for snapshots and milestones -->

Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:

@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {

@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
    return "Hello World!";
}

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

}

When this HTTP server runs, it picks up the external configuration from the default local config server (if it is running) on port 8888. To modify the startup behavior, you can change the location of the config server by using bootstrap.properties (similar to application.properties but for the bootstrap phase of an application context), as shown in the following example:

spring.cloud.config.uri: http://myconfigserver.com

By default, if no application name is set, application will be used. To modify the name, the following property can be added to the bootstrap.properties file:

spring-cloud__spring-cloud-config_CVE-2020-5405_2-1-6-RELEASE
