The config server is responsible for distributing centralized external configurations for each service in the cluster.
Add gitlab username and password in your command line properties if you want to get configuration from spring-cloud-config repo
You'ill see some kind of StartupService constructed, Hello: USERNAME in the logs.
NB: it's absoluty not recommanded to use your own gitrepo credentials when running application on production (this is only an example)
After running application, you exposes your config as REST endpoints:
Example : curl http://localhost:8888/acme-service/development
The HTTP service has resources in the form:
/{application}/{profile}[/{label}]
/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{application}-{profile}.properties
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties
See documentation about how using a git config server from acme-service easily with spring, in the ACME README file
