* ui: Add a way to reliably figure out where the UI is running The main javascript that we use is at </where/the/ui/is>/ui/assets/consul-ui.js This uses this fact to provide and base path 'environment' variable to be used within the app. This is also overwritable via various methods (testing/development) if we ever need to do that. * Remove BASE_API_URL, the logic here isn't exactly correct Right now the API always _has_ to be at http://domain/v1/ i.e. the root of your domain /v1. If the URL of the ui is set differently to http://root.com/somewhere/else/ui/ then the API is still at http://root.com/v1 There is definitely a plan to add this env var back in at some stage so we can potentially allow this to be configured in other ways, but there isn't a need to do it just yet so we don't need to worry about _how_ to do this right now.

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Service Segmentation/Service Mesh - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections without being aware of Connect at all.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
