How to configure port for a Spring Boot application

Question

How do I configure the TCP/IP port listened on by a Spring Boot application, so it does not use the default port of 8080.

Answer 1

If you would like to run it locally, use this -

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments='-Dserver.port=8085'

As of Spring Boot 2.0, here's the command that works (clues were here):

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.arguments=--server.port=8085
