Configuration
Overview
After installing Repose, config files can be found in /etc/repose.
At a minimum, Repose needs a container.cfg.xml and system-model.cfg.xml to start.
Config Files
Container
The container.cfg.xml config file tells Repose where to find component artifacts and where to deploy them while running.
See Container for more details.
System Model
The main config file is system-model.cfg.xml.
This file configures the list of filters, the deployment layout, and the location of the origin service.
Out of the box, Repose is setup to run as a single node listening on port 8080, to run with no filters and services enabled, and to point to rackspace.com on port 80 as the origin service.
See System Model for more details.
Config Loading
Repose reads the config files when it starts up and when a file gets updated. The configuration files are checked for updates every 15 seconds. This is not configurable nor can it be manually triggered.
When the config files are invalid, Repose will continue using the previous known good configuration, or if Repose was just initially starting up, then it will return a 503 until the config files are fixed.
