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 are using gradle as the build tool, you can set the server port in your application.yml file as:

server:
  port: 8291

If you are using maven then the port can be set in your application.properties file as:

server.port: 8291
