How do I configure the TCP/IP port listened on by a Spring Boot application, so it does not use the default port of 8080.

As said in docs either set server.port as system property using command line option to jvm -Dserver.port=8090 or add application.properties in /src/main/resources/ with

server.port=8090

For random port use

server.port=0

Similarly add application.yml in /src/main/resources/ with

server:
  port : 8090

There are two main ways to change the port in the Embedded Tomcat in a Spring Boot Application.

Modify application.properties

First you can try the application.properties file in the /resources folder:

server.port = 8090

Modify a VM option

The second way, if you want to avoid modifying any files and checking in something that you only need on your local, you can use a vm arg:

Go to Run -> Edit Configurations -> VM options

-Dserver.port=8090
