Remember how we configured our Eureka Server earlier to run on a separate port? Every microservice has to run on a distinct port. If we assume the images service is our frontend (it has the Thymeleaf template, and is closest to consumers for serving up image data), then we can let it continue to run on Netty's default port of 8080.
That leaves one decision: what port to run the comments service on? Let's add this to the comments service's application.yml:

For starters (Spring Boot starters), we need to add some extra things to the images build.gradle file:
