Configuration

Apollo requires a HOCON-formatted configuration file to retrieve all required resources. If not supplied, Apollo will exit with an error.

The configuration file can be loaded from:

• A file system path using the APOLLO_CONFIG_FILEPATH environment variable.
• Or the configuration can be loaded as a consul key using APOLLO_CONSUL_URL and APOLLO_CONSUL_KEY environment variables.
• If you are using both options, the consul configuration will be merged and override the filesystem file configuration.

Configuration example:

apollo {
  db {  # Self explenatory
    port = 3306
    host = "..."
    user = "apollo"
    password = "..."
    schema = "apollo"
  }

  api {
    listen = "0.0.0.0"  # Where should apollo backend listen
    port = 8081  # And on which port
    secret = "SuperTestingSecret"  # Secret to encrypt websessions with
  }

  kubernetes {
    monitoringFrequencySeconds = 5  # How frequent should the apollo's kubernetes monitoring thread check the deployment statuses
  }

  scm {
    githubLogin = ""  # Github user (in case you need private repositories access)
    githubOauthToken = ""  # Access token created in your user settings. Should have view access for private repos
  }
}
