Config Server in Play framework 2.7

Question

I am implementing a web socket server application using play framework 2.7 I would like to implement a remote configuration where all the application's configuration should reside in a github.

When i searched for documents to implement it, i found below url,

https://github.com/play-rconf

but accessing configuration from github is not listed. Is there any better way or document do access the config server from github (like in Spring) ?

You can try play-rconf-http by specifying a URL of your config file:

remote-configuration {

  ## Provider - HTTP
  # ~~~~~
  # Retrieves configuration from a simple HTTP server
  http {

    # URL where is located the configuration file to fetch. You can
    # use basic authentication
    url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<user>/<repo>/<branch>/<path-to-file>"
    url = ${?REMOTECONF_HTTP_URL}
  }
}

You can use basic authentication as well.
