Configuration via LCP.json

Configuration via LCP.json

Each service in your Liferay Cloud environments has an LCP.json file that you can use to configure the service. You can configure properties like the service ID, memory, number of CPUs, environment variables, volumes, and much more.

This table lists and describes the properties you can add in LCP.json:

Field Type Default Value Description
id String random The service ID
image String "" The service image from Docker Hub
env Object undefined Environment variables
loadBalancer Object {} Declaration of exposed ports and domains
cpu Number 1 Number of CPUs
scale Number 1 Starting number of instances
memory Number 512 Amount of memory (MB)
volumes Object undefined Paths to persist data
readinessProbe Object { "timeoutSeconds": 5 } Service readiness check
livenessProbe Object { "timeoutSeconds": 5 } Service liveness check
dependencies Array [] Dependency deployment order
kind String Deployment Deployment type (e.g, Deployment or StatefulSet)
strategy Object { "type": "RollingUpdate" } Deployment strategy (e.g, RollingUpdate or Recreate)
ports Array [] Declaration of ports and protocols
environments Object {} Environment-specific configurations
deploy Boolean true Whether the service will be deployed for the specified environment. Only use this property inside the environments property; not at the root level. See the sample LCP.json file.
autoscale Object { "cpu": 80, "memory": 80 } The target average utilization for CPU and memory in auto-scaling. For more information about how this works with auto-scaling, see Auto-scaling.

Usage

Here’s an example LCP.json file that uses all the properties:
