Since it was a lot of work to figure all this out i figured i'd let others know: So I have an assortment of machines on various OS'es now at home, macs, windows, linux. I needed a way to (ideally) back everything up the same way. Also, Apple's Time Machine, as easy as it is to use, was starting to piss me off, at least over a network (taking forever, causing the computer to lag terribly, often saying it had to rebuild the entire backup from scratch, that sort of thing... It always worked fine to a local disk, but I wanted reliable network backup) I decided early on to stick to using S3 protocol to a FreeNAS Mini I already own since pretty much all the backup software I was evaluating was able to speak S3, from all the OS'es. This would also make it easy to switch to actual cloud down the line if that made sense. S3 support provided by Minio http://www.min.io/ was recently added to my FreeNAS and it turns out, Minio is also easily installable on OS X (via Homebrew) and Linux, which meant that I could use my Ma

A word of warning to anyone building web apps: Be careful about requirements around “emails coming from the web app”. Here’s an example of why:

1. I agreed that (on my open source real estate listing site) people could email listings to any recipient. Didn’t sound too hard, get an email provider, create an unauthenticated link to the listing, send it off! Right?
2. First problem I noticed is that many domains won’t even accept email from new domains, they get flagged. There is no procedural way to get your new domain’s email accepted by all other domains in some rigorous fashion; it seems to be a combination of crafting the “right” MX record at the domain level and/or adding some other private key/value pairs, an obscure art form, and literally calling domain admins up or filing obscure tech support requests via some dusty automated system. Blame spammers, I guess.
3. Then, they wanted custom body and signature, so I built in a rich-text editor for the body and added

# I had some issues with this and finally culled together instructions from various sites which finally worked

# The first thing you should do is clone your Phoenix/Elixir repo from Github to a blank Ubuntu c9.io VM

# The next thing we have to do is remove the stock Erlang which is erlang-base-hipe and not esl-erlang
# (this causes problems later on otherwise)
# But first we will add a new apt source
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
