Epoch

Dependencies

• Ecto
• Postgrex
• Distillery

Build/Deploy

Create a config/prod.secret.exs (see example.prod.secret.exs)

Then do:

MIX_ENV=prod mix do compile, release --env=prod --verbose

Build a Docker image

docker build -t epoch:[tag] .

The image will copy config/docker.secret.exs to config/prod.secret.exs, which allows configuration through environment variables.

  username: System.get_env("DATABASE_USER"),
  password: System.get_env("DATABASE_PASSWORD"),
  database: System.get_env("DATABASE_NAME"),
  hostname: System.get_env("DATABASE_HOST"),

Database Management

Run database migrations:

_build/prod/rel/epoch/bin/epoch command Elixir.Epoch.ReleaseTasks migrate

Note _build/prod/rel/epoch/bin/epoch can be where the binary is placed once deployed.

mix deps.get
mix ecto.setup
