The delivery endpoint requires a YAML configuration - otherwise it cannot deliver content. Version 2.0 of the magnolia-rest-content-delivery module can have only one configuration. (Future versions will allow multiple configurations which can be distinguished via URL parameter.)

Add the configuration to the folder restEndpoints in a light module or within src/main/resources/<module-name>/restEndpoints in a Magnolia Maven module.
