Toy

This project is intended to be a (serious) playground for other Elixir projects of mine in the aspects of build, integration and deployment.

Goals

• [] Document build
• [] Implement and document cross-build
• [] Install the project as a systemd service
• [] Handle the current version via a git tag
• [] Build as dev or prod

Preconditions

PostgreSQL role

In dev as well as in prod modes, the role used in config/#{mode}.exs must be created using e.g. the command line : sudo -u postgres createuser -P role_name

(add -d flag to allow database creation)

PostgreSQL database

In dev as well as in prod modes, the role used in config/#{mode}.exs must be created using e.g. the command line : sudo -u postgres createdb -O role_name db_name

Running the server

In development mode

The PostgreSQL role/database must be installed, if required.

To start the server in dev mode :

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Install Node.js dependencies with mix cmd npm install --prefix assets
• Start the server : mix phx.server or iex -S mix phx.server to run within a shell

The server can now be accessed on localhost:4000.
