Hosting Phoenix ( Elixir ) with centmin mod

Centmin mod is running my baby development projects using Phoenix. It's all quite easy too. This won't be for everyone, I may even be alone for a bit.

I've saved a lot much time of late with centmin, even with having to figure out centos Swapped my dev box to fedora to help overcome the debianisms.

123.08 and 09 work fine. It's only a nginx config and package install. The centos packages for erlang and elixir are out of date though.

Code:

#centos7 deps
yum install epel-release
yum -y update && yum -y upgrade
yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel make ncurses-devel openssl-devel autoconf java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel git wget
#centos7 erl
wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
yum install esl-erlang
mkdir /usr/local/src/elixir
git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git /usr/local/src/elixir
cd /usr/local/src/elixir
make clean test install

That's got to get easier...

I'm building a release on a staging box and experimenting with exrm, YMMV. If you're running cowboy on port 8080 say, all you now need is a modified location block to upgrade the connection.

Code:

location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;  # http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule
    proxy_set_header Host $host;  # http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_pass
    # http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_http_version
    proxy_http_version 1.1; 

    # WebSocket proxying - from http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/websocket.html
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
  }

Hope that helps someone, probably me in a few weeks when I'm googling...

 

I do mean applications I'm building/tinkering with in phoenix... I'm not even on the % register of clever enough to comprehend what Chris, Jose have achieved. I'll edit it to be clearer.

I'm working hard to not start work on a opensource forum written in it though. centmin has given me a set of super crutches to re-explore nginx and server config, as a dangerous sysadmin I've not broken my staging boxes yet As a lone wolf developer I want to spend more time out in the mountains, not in front of my screen.
