Edit: I probably sound cranky, it’s 2am and I gotta let this go for the night. I am HAPPY to contribute some documentation corrections (if required). Hi there, I looked through the docs and there are different ENVs between the docker version and the local install version, and it’s quite confusing t…

Quickstarts doc improvements are underway. @TheLumberjack is out of the office this week, but there may be places where he’d take you up on your offer to help once he returns. Regarding docs for the address you were looking for: The Edge Client API address is defined here: Controller Configuratio…

I’ve created a GitHub issue to track progress on documenting those config vars. Your immediate problem is that you want to specify the TCP port where your controller listens for edge clients, e.g., for enrollments, correct? Clarifications that might help with reasoning about the config: /edge/ma…

If you want to see the more common env vars and what they do, you can use the commands ziti create config env -h which will show the env var and its description [image] or ziti create config env which will output a list of export statements as well as commented descriptions and the current valu…

Thanks for all the kind replies. I really am sorry I was grumpy last night. One thing I was speculating on was whether or not changing any of the bindings/ports/IPs/hostnames would then interfere with the docker network; now the services can find each other… but start changing these simple hostname…

[image] gberl002: I do see how, in looking at these two lists of environment variables, is confusing, I’ll see what I can do to modify the doc and make that less confusing. I am more than happy to review an MR/PR.

Ok, kind of stuck still. I can change the advertised address. I looked for public addresses with ./ziti create config env -h | grep public and set the ZITI_CTRL_EDGE_ADVERTISED_ADDRESS=ziti.jptech.corp and ZITI_CTRL_ADVERTISED_ADDRESS=ziti.jptech.ninja. This resulted in all the certs as expected. Bu…

[image] jptechnical: There are a LOT of things going on under the hood… and I am determined to understand them. I'm loving that tenacity. It'll keep getting more convenient and systematic with high quality feedback like yours. Thanks. Is it your main goal now to set up your Compose quicksta…

When I’m using docker compose in a hosted environment, generally the minimum requirement is to modify/add the following to the .env file. This essentially is doing what you would have done in that first set of export statements for the “Host it anywhere” quickstart, we’re just applying/uncommenting …

Oh, I see. You have to define the Compose project var ZITI_CTRL_EDGE_IP_OVERRIDE so it doesn’t default to 127.0.0.1.

[image] qrkourier: Is it your main goal now to set up your Compose quickstart to host on a public IP or to handle a change of address on a running network or both? I don't quite understand the second part. But my intention would be to run the minimum components on a host, like the controller,…
