using rebar to create an erlang app with a dependency, and then starting a release created with reltool

Summary

I'm trying to figure out how to use rebar to:

  • create erlang project
  • add a dependency on an erlang module from github
  • start the app via the erl console
  • create a release and start the app from the release (via the generated scripts)

Deploying Elixir's Phoenix Framework on Dokku.

Deploying Phoenix on Dokku

Worked 2015-09-08 for Phoenix 1.0.1 on Dokku 0.3.25.

These instructions assume you've set up Dokku. If not, go find a tutorial for that part. My notes for setting it up on Digital Ocean.

On your local machine, in the app's repo

Create a Dokku app:

Make a pdf look scanned using ImageMagick
# use ImageMagick convert
# the order is important. the density argument applies to input.pdf and resize and rotate to output.pdf
convert -density 90 input.pdf -rotate 0.5 -attenuate 0.2 +noise Multiplicative -colorspace Gray output.pdf

(Note: I wrote this up quickly and without a lot of research, so there are probably inaccuracies. However, I wanted to put this out there in case it helps someone else hitting this issue. Github gists like this unfortunately don't have comment notifications, so if you want me to send me a comment, use my email matt@nanobeep.com and not the comments.)

Problem: Can't use sudo command-limiting in Ansible

The ability to limit sudo users to only be able to execute certain commands doesn't work with Ansible (without a workaround).

This isn't a problem if you're running Ansible as a super-user like root, but if you are allowing others to run Ansible on your systems in order to do things like application deploys, then you need a way to limit their access to the system for basic security.

For example, a line in /etc/sudoers like this:

Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6.5 to 10.0 using Homebrew (macOS)
After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."
Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:
# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql@9.6
brew unlink postgresql@9.6
brew link postgresql
