#!/usr/bin/env bash

APP="my_awesome_app" # name of your release

BUILD_HOST="server ip / hostname" # host where to build the release
BUILD_USER="root" # local user at build host
BUILD_AT="/git/my_awesome_app/builds" # build directory on build host
RELEASE_DIR="/git/my_awesome_app/builds/rel/my_awesome_app"
RELEASE_VERSION=0.0.1

STAGING_HOSTS="server ip / hostname" # staging / test hosts separated by space
STAGING_USER="git" # local user at staging hosts
TEST_AT="/test/my_awesome_app" # deploy directory on staging hosts. default is DELIVER_TO

PRODUCTION_HOSTS="server ip / hostname" # deploy / production hosts separated by space
PRODUCTION_USER="root" # local user at deploy hosts
DELIVER_TO="/opt/my_awesome_app" # deploy directory on production hosts

Establish Production Config

• copy / paste config from dev.exs / test.exs
• replace first endpoint block with the following:

config :my_awesome_app, MyAwesomeApp.Endpoint,

  debug_errors: true,
  server: true,
  code_reloader: false,
  cache_static_lookup: false,
  check_origin: false,
  watchers: []

• be sure to remove / turn off any config settings relating to live reload / code reload

Build On Server

• mix edeliver build release --verbose
• mix edeliver deploy release to production --verbose
• mix edeliver start production --verbose
• double check that everything is running at your-ip:4800
