Spring Cloud Configuration Server not working with local properties file

Answer 1

The config server will read the local properties files if the application.properties of config server contains:

spring.profiles.active=native
**spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file:/source/tmp**

at /source/tmp directory, you store the local property file for client, for example:

http://localhost:8888/a-bootiful-client/default

you will get:

{"name":"a-bootiful-client","profiles":["default"],"label":null,"version":null,"state":null,"propertySources":[{"name":"file:/source/tmp/a-bootiful-client.properties","source":{"message":"Kim"}}]}
