Connect two IEx nodes

iex_connect.mkd

tl;dr:

$ iex --sname server
$ iex --sname client
iex(client@localhost)> Node.connect :"server@localhost"

Start a named node:

$ iex --name any_name@any_domain

Short form (sets domain to localhost.localdomain):

$ iex --name any_name   

Short form (sets domain to localhost):

$ iex --sname any_name

Find out running node name:

iex> Node.self
:asdf@localhost

Connect to a node (mind the atom):

iex> Node.connect :"asdf@localhost"

List connected nodes (excluding current one):

iex> Node.list
[:asdf@localhost]

Erlang observer:

:observer.start

Connect to other nodes from observer:

`Nodes` -> `Connect node`
