AWS quickstart - how to override sslip autogenerated URL? about quickstart

Thank you! This is just to evaluate Rancher. I happen to want to host DependencyTrack at the same time to run an end to end proof of concept of that as well. No worries about it becoming a production instance.

I will have a look at that and if I can see a neat way to make it a variable, I'll drop a PR. Thanks again!

It's currently not easily possible to configure the host name through variables. It's currently "hard coded" to use sslip.io here: https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/blob/master/rancher/aws/infra.tf#L146.
Of course, you can change this directly there. Otherwise a PR to make this optionally configurable through variables would be very welcome.

Please note, that these quickstart examples are not meant for production use cases, but only for short-term evaluations. If you want to set up Rancher in a highly available way for production, or even dev/staging use cases, I'd advise to only take these modules here as a blue print but then modify them for high availability and security. E.g. running Rancher on more than one instance, setting up a proper LB, setting up a proper DNS name and TLS certificates from a proper CA or limiting the VPC.
