Deploying with Docker

On the top root of the directory, there's a Dockerfile which is ready for production build! If you want to try it locally just run

docker build -t ex_platform .
docker run ex_platform

Please be aware that ExPlatform requires some environment variables:

# run mix phx.gen.secret to get one
SECRET_KEY_BASE="something long"
# The email address which your users will see when receiving an email
SMTP_EMAIL_ADDRESS="[email protected]"

# The smtp credentials
SMTP_HOST="smtp.example.org"
SMTP_USERNAME="[email protected]"
SMTP_PASSWORD="my_smtp_password"
SMTP_PORT="587"

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:[email protected]:5738/database_name"

Deployment with Clever Cloud

Please install the Clever CLI first, then you can set the env variables above:

clever env set SECRET_KEY_BASE `phx.gen.secret`

# The email address which your users will see when receiving an email
clever env set SMTP_EMAIL_ADDRESS "[email protected]"

# The smtp credentials
clever env set SMTP_HOST "smtp.example.org"
clever env set SMTP_USERNAME "[email protected]"
clever env set SMTP_PASSWORD "my_smtp_password"
clever env set SMTP_PORT "587"

Then connect a Postgres addon and you are set (ExPlatform also works with the default Clever Cloud addon env variables).
