Config Server Broker

This repo implements a service broker for config server.

Setup

1. Clone repo to directory or home.
2. Create a Config-Server space (optional) under system.

$cf target -o system
$cf create-space config-server
$cf target -o system -s config-server

1. Modify the contents of cf/secrets.yml add the credentials needed, the instance guid for the space being used, etc.

Broker Auth Section

• user - The user needed for creating the service-broker
• password - The password you create for creating the service-broker

Cloud Foundry Config Section

• api_url - The Cloud Foundry API URL
• cf_username - The user in CF that has permissions to create services with the API
• cf_password - the password for above user
• uaa_client_id - The Client ID, which can possibly be found in CredHub. If not the UAA client needs to be created
• uaa_client_secret - The secret for the client id above
• instance_space_guid - The GUID for the current space, This can be found by doing cf space config-server --guid
• instance_domain - The instance domain which is likely the same as the API base domain
• config_server_download_uri - This can be either a file:// or an https:// protocol. The use of file will look within the service-broker itself and should reference the location of the config-server.jar that has been packaged along with the broker

1. While within the config-server-broker base directory, run make push if the binary doesn't need to be rebuilt. The only reason the binary may need to be rebuilt is if there is a code change. To build, run make build first, then run make push. All jars should be located under the app/artifacts directory, the binary should be located under the app directory. The app directory is what gets pushed to the CF container.

2. Create the service broker.

$ cf create-service-broker [user from the Broker Auth section] [password from the Broker Auth section] [App URL created for the running app]

1. Once the push is complete, the service broker is now running. You should now be able to create a service like the following example.

$cf create-service config-server default test-service -c "whatever json configuration you wish to use for config-server - see config-server docs from Spring.io"
