title: Spring Cloud Config Server without Spring Boot
body: <p>I have looked at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31693826/spring-cloud-config-client-without-spring-boot">spring-cloud-config client without Spring Boot</a> and many others and have not found a convincing answer. So here it goes again:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>:

  <p>If it is:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there any documentation that clearly describes what needs to be done in order to enable Spring Cloud Config server/client without Spring Boot?</li>
  <li>Is there any sample project that clearly describes what needs to be done in order to enable Spring Cloud Config server/client without Spring Boot?? </li>
  </ol>
