Distillery
Every alchemist requires good tools, and one of the greatest tools in the alchemist's disposal is the distillery. The purpose of the distillery is to take something and break it down to it's component parts, reassembling it into something better, more powerful. That is exactly what this project does - it takes your Mix project and produces an Erlang/OTP release, a distilled form of your raw application's components; a single package which can be deployed anywhere, independently of an Erlang/Elixir installation. No dependencies, no hassle.
This is a pure-Elixir, dependency-free implementation of release generation for Elixir projects. It is currently a standalone package, but may be integrated into Mix at some point in the future.
Installation
Distillery requires Elixir 1.3 or greater. It works with Erlang 18+.
defp deps do
[{:distillery, "~> 0.8"}]
endJust add as a mix dependency and use mix release. This is a replacement for exrm, but is in beta at this time.
If you are new to releases, please review the documentation.
NOTE: If you are currently using conform with exrm, you can use conform with Distillery by using
the distillery branch of conform. You will not need the conform_exrm dependency, but there are some
changes, so please read the README carefully.
TODO
- Upgrades/downgrades
