Spring Boot: Change Port for Web Application

Question

I am currently trying to create a web application with Spring Boot. I need to host my application to localhost:8081. How do I change the port?

Answer 1

If you're using STS, you can do it following below steps:

• Go to Boot Dashboard view, you'll see your Boot app, say myApp1

• Right click and click on Open Config. This should open Run Time Configuration section.
• Go to Argument tab and add parameter server.port=, like in the example below, a custom port 9091 is added.

• Start the app and if everything is good, you'll see the desired port on Boot dashboard.
