Remote console doesn't seem to have access to all applications in an umbrella app

[John Hamelink]

Hey there,

When using remote_console, I don't seem to be able to use Ecto, as the DB application hasn't started? To give a little more context, my exrm release consists of an umbrella app with 2 main applications: api and db. DB.Repo is inside the db application

deploy@ip-10-0-2-126:/home/ubuntu$ /opt/api/bin/api remote_console

Update: instead of trying to fix this or waiting for help, I decided to just bite the bullet and take the opportunity to move to distillery, and it works fine there (and wasn't too hard to move either by the way).
