Changing default port of eureka server using spring cloud

Question

I got to spring-boot application, an eureka server and an eureka client.

Here is my server configuration

server:
  port: 8761

spring:
  application:
    name: eureka-server

Here is my server code

package fr.maif.eurekaserver;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EnableEurekaServer;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.zuul.EnableZuulProxy;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableEurekaServer
@EnableZuulProxy
public class EurekaServerApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaServerApplication.class, args);
    }
}

Here is the client configuration

spring:
  application:
    name: eureka-client
server:
  port: 8083
eureka:
  client:
    serviceUrl:
      defaultZone: "http://localhost:8761/eureka"

Here is my client code

package fr.maif.eurekaclient;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableDiscoveryClient
public class EurekaClientApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaClientApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The above works perfectly while the server port remains 8761, however when I try to change it (to 8080 or any other value) both in server port & client defaultZone configuration, the server continuously throws ConnectExceptions.

What do I do wrong ?

Answer 1

Try this configuration: 1. Server.

server:
  port: 8080

eureka:
  instance:
   hostname: localhost
client:
  registerWithEureka: false
  fetchRegistry: false
  serviceUrl:
  defaultZone: http://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/eureka/

2. Client.

spring:
  application:
  name: eureka-client
server:
  port: 8083
eureka:
  client:
  registerWithEureka: true
  fetchRegistry: true
  serviceUrl:
    defaultZone: http://localhost:8080/eureka/
