refactor(openchallenges): overideable config-server spring import config #2722

Closed zaro0508 closed 6 days ago

spring boot issue 3346 says it's not possible to override Spring Import with SPRING_CONFIG_IMPORT env var. The suggestion is to use confighost instead which can be overriden with a CONFIGHOST env var.

Solution

Before

spring:
  config:
    import: 'configserver:http://openchallenges-config-server:8090'

After

spring:
  config:
    import: 'configserver:'
  cloud:
    config:
      uri: http://openchallenges-config-server:8090

The value of spring.cloud.config.uri can be overridden with the environment variable SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_URI

Notes

It's not possible to use placeholder or override the value of spring.config.import unlike other config properties. This behavior was tested and confirmed. The solution is to rely on the property spring.cloud.config.uri, which can be overridden with an environment variable (see above).
This solution does not require other developers to update their configuration files (.env).
