08/02/2024, 7:26 PM@Jason Roozee This is where using CommandBox can really help make your setup portable. With 3 JSON files
•
server.jsonbox.json.cfconfig.json Copy code
git clone ...
box install // only if using box.json to pull depednencies
box server startbdw429s
08/02/2024, 7:27 PMThose JSON files capture
• what version of Java to run on
• what CF engine/version to run on
• all JVM args
• ports
• SSL
• host bindings
• URL rewrites
• custom error pages
• secure lockdowns
• all 3rd party dependencies like ColdBox framework, or other modules from forgebox, or even jar files from Maven
• All settings in the CF admin like datasources, mail servers, request timeouts, debugging, etc, etc
It's 100% automated setup and install.
