Nacos

1 precondition

• Understand Dubbo basic development steps
• Install and start Nacos

When Dubbo uses 3.0.0 and above, it needs to use Nacos 2.0.0 and above.

2 Instructions for use

2.1 Add Maven dependency

If the project has enabled Nacos as the registration center, no additional configuration is required.

If the Nacos registry is not enabled, please refer to [Adding Nacos dependencies to the registry](../../registry/nacos/#21-Add dependencies).

2.2 Enable Nacos Configuration Center

<dubbo:config-center address="nacos://127.0.0.1:8848"/>

or

dubbo
  config-center
    address: nacos://127.0.0.1:8848

or

dubbo.config-center.address=nacos://127.0.0.1:8848

or

ConfigCenterConfig configCenter = new ConfigCenterConfig();
configCenter.setAddress("nacos://127.0.0.1:8848");

For address format, please refer to [Nacos Registry - Enable Configuration](../../registry/nacos/#22-configure and enable-nacos)

3 Advanced configuration

To enable authentication authentication, please refer to Nacos Registry - Enable Authentication Authentication

3.1 External configuration

3.1.1 Global externalization configuration

1. The application opens config-center configuration

dubbo
  config-center
    address: nacos://127.0.0.1:2181
    config-file: dubbo.properties # optional

config-file - global externalized configuration file key value, default dubbo.properties. config-file represents the key value corresponding to the file in the configuration center when the Dubbo configuration file is stored in the remote registration center, and it is generally not recommended to modify this configuration item.

2. Add configuration to Nacos Server

dataId is dubbo.properties, group grouping is consistent with config-center, if not set, dubbo will be filled by default.

3.1.2 Application-specific externalization configuration

1. The application opens config-center configuration

dubbo
  config-center
    address: nacos://127.0.0.1:2181
    app-config-file: dubbo.properties # optional

app-config-file - The current application-specific externalization configuration file key value, such as app-name-dubbo.properties, only configured when it needs to override the global externalization configuration file config-file.

2. Add configuration to Nacos Server

The dataId is dubbo.properties, and the group is set to the application name, namely demo-provider.

3.2 Set group and namespace

dubbo
  config-center
    address: zookeeper://127.0.0.1:2181
    group: dubbo-cluster1
    namespace: dev1

For the configuration center, group and namespace should be unified across the company (cluster), and different applications should be prevented from using different values.

3.3 Nacos extended configuration

For more parameter configurations supported by Nacos sdk/server, please refer to [Nacos Registry - More Configurations](../../registry/nacos/#35-More Configurations)

4 Traffic Governance Rules

For Nacos, all traffic governance rules and external configurations should be globally visible, so applications in the same logical cluster must use the same namespace and group. Among them, the default value of namespace is public, and the default value of group is dubbo. The application should not modify the namespace and group without authorization, unless it can maintain global consistency.

It is recommended to add, delete, and modify traffic governance rules through dubbo-admin. For more information, please refer to the traffic governance capabilities supported by Dubbo.

There are many types of traffic governance rules, and the suffixes of dataId for different types of rules are different:

• configurators, override rules
• tag-router, tag routing
• condition-router, conditional routing
