To help avoid clashes with routes across spaces in Cloud Foundry, a naming strategy to provide a random prefix to a
deployed application is available and is enabled by default. The default configurations
are overridable and the respective properties can be set via cf set-env commands.
For instance, if you’d like to disable the randomization, you can override it through:
cf set-env dataflow-server SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_STREAM_ENABLE_RANDOM_APP_NAME_PREFIX false
As an alternative to random name, or to get even more control over the hostname used by the deployed apps, one can use custom deployment properties, as such:
[[source]
dataflow:>stream create foo --definition "http | log"
dataflow:>stream deploy foo --properties "app.http.spring.cloud.deployer.cloudfoundry.domain=mydomain.com,
app.http.spring.cloud.deployer.cloudfoundry.host=myhost,
app.http.spring.cloud.deployer.cloudfoundry.route-path=my-path"This would result in the http app being bound to the URL myhost.mydomain.com/my-path. Note that this is an
example showing all customization options available. One can of course only leverage one or two out of the three.
