My personal blog
When I'm writing locally for this blog, I run the following steps to get the server up and running. It should reload immediately when changes are made.
$ mix deps.get
$ iex --name blog@127.0.0.1 -S mix phx.serverThis blog is deployed using Fly.
When changes are ready to be published, make sure you have installed flyctl and then run fly deploy in the home directory.
If you are on an M1 mac there may be some architecture issues, so you need to run fly deploy --remote-only to build the docker image on a remote host.
There are two easy ways to connect to the production instance of this application.
You can use fly ssh console to easily jump onto the shell of the production instance.
This is handy for checking out files etc, and you can also quickly jump into the app with /app/blog/bin/blog remote to jump into an IEx shell connected to the running application.
We also have a helper ./remote_connect.sh which can connect a local vm to the production instance so you can use things like :observer.start() to introspect the production instance.
This application also hosts the showoff tool which is a tool to learn about programming and SVG.
In order to access it you need to make a request with a hostname prefixed by showoff.*.
The easiest way to do this in development is to add an entry to /etc/hosts that points showoff.local to 127.0.0.1.
Then in your browser you can go to http://showoff.local:4001.
