Change port 8080 for jhipster app

Solution 1:

2 alternatives:

• Edit .yo-rc.json file, change or add serverPort property like "serverPort": "8100", then re-generate your app with jhipster --with-entities if you did not make many changes or use jhipster upgrade --force if you did.
• Change port value in application*.yml files and proxy.conf.json,and probably also in some docker files

Solution 2:

Im using visual code, with minimal added code from jhipster generated code. Using jhipster monolithic app (although I have done it with micorservices as well).

I just do command + shift + F to search for all instance of 8080. This helps you search all your files for this instance.

Then chose all the ones with yml files yo-rc.json, serverPorts, procy.conf.json, docker files, webpackdev etc... that pertains to port 8080 and change them to 8181 or other port number.

Hope this helps as well.
