Spring Cloud Config Server on local OpenShift - how to retrieve external properties file

[Lyle Christine]

Hi everyone,

I have created a Spring Boot Config Server application which retrieves a config file in a GitHub repo.

When I run the config server locally, the http://localhost:8888/application/default endpoint correctly retrieves and displays the application.yml config file from the external GitHub repo.

I deployed the config server to my local OpenShift:

oc new-app registry.access.redhat.com/redhat-openjdk-18/openjdk18-openshift~https://github.com/Lylio/Spring-Cloud-Config-Server.git --name=config-server

Then, I created a route and added that to my hosts file:

192.168.0.36 config-server-dev.apps.openshift.local

Perhaps I need to configure the port in OpenShift but I'm not entirely sure and would appreciate some troubleshooting guidance. Thanks.
