Quick notes on the Nerves setup steps to enable an mcp2515 can controller on an rpi3

can0 setup

(for mcp2515 controller like the PiCAN2)

  1. fork (or clone) nerves_system_rpi3 locally into the parent directory of your project

  2. edit mix.exs and change the nerves_system_rpi3 lines to point to your local one:

     def system("rpi3"), do: [{:nerves_system_rpi3, path: "../nerves_system_rpi3", runtime: false}]
    
  3. mix deps.get

  4. mkdir config/rpi3 to set up a place to store some customized rpi configs

#!/bin/bash
export MIX_ENV=${MIX_ENV:-prod}
if [ -f /.dockerenv ]; then
# We are inside a docker container, so lets build a release
if [ -n "${APP_NAME:+set}" ]; then
echo ">>> BUILDING $APP_NAME <<<"
mix release --env=$MIX_ENV --name=$APP_NAME
else
#!/bin/bash
echo ECS_CLUSTER=your_ecs_cluser_name > /etc/ecs/ecs.config
INSTANCE=$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
hostname $INSTANCE
sed -i.bak "s/\\(HOSTNAME=\\).*/\\1$INSTANCE/" /etc/sysconfig/network

Deploying Elixir and Phoenix applications using Docker and Exrm

Goal

By the end of this quick guide, you will know how to compile a Phoenix app release using Exrm and run it inside a Docker container. I've found only a couple of articles that discuss getting an Elixir app up and running inside a Docker container, and even those only touched on some parts of the process. The idea is that this guide will give you a full end-to-end example of how to get all the pieces and parts working together so that you are able to deploy your Phoenix application inside a Docker container.

Assumptions

  1. You already have a working Elixir environment with the Phoenix Framework installed
  2. You have at least basic working knowledge of Docker, and have installed the Docker tools onto your local environment
