Remote configuration

Reference | Administration

When starting a Granitic application, you provide a list of folders and configuration files that are merged together to form a single view of application configuration. These files may be stored on a filesystem, but may also be served by an HTTP server.

For example:

shell script myapp -c config/,/var/myapp/local.json,http://example.com/conf

URLs may be any valid URL as defined by the Go URL parser.

Requirements

The response to the request to a config-providing URL must contain:

• A content type of application/json
• A JSON formatted response body
• A status code of 200

If any of these conditions are not met, your application will fail to start.
