About The Project

There are many great samples of microservices with Spring Boot 2 available on GitHub.
With the passage of time, I have thought of collecting in a mini-project all those tasks that I usually need in my day to day to accelerate my developments.

Getting Started

Here are some instructions on how to configure your project locally.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

This is a list things that you need to use the software and how to configure them.

• MongoDB Server (optional)

  • We can download the Community Server from their website
  • A good alternative to installing a MongoDB server is create a MongoDB container in Docker.

• Docker Desktop

  • The software can be download from their website

# Create volumes in docker to save data (optional)
docker volume create mongodb-vol
docker volume create microservices-vol

# Download and run MongoDB container
docker pull mongo
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -v mongodb-vol:/data/db --name mongodb mongo

Installation

Execute with docker

docker pull d4rk3on/spring-boot-2-simple-example:{version}
docker run -d -p 9080:9080 -e DEV_PATH='/' -e SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE='docker' -v microservices-vol:/resources --link mongodb --name spring-boot-example d4rk3on/spring-boot-2-simple-example:{version}

Execute without docker

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/D4rK3oN/spring-boot-2-simple-example.git

2. Configure environment variables
   Add DEV_PATH var with the path where you want to save the logs, etc

<!-- e.g. used in logback.xml -->
<file>${DEV_PATH}/resources/spring-boot-2-simple-example/logs/simple_example.log</file>

3. Configure the properties of the application-dev.yml file (if you need it)

spring.data.mongodb:
  host: localhost
  port: 27017

4. Run/Debug the project with the profile "dev"

Program args: --spring.profiles.active=dev
