Elixir

Prerequisites

• Set memory to at least 1MB during app creation or later using:

$ tapit create app myAppName memory=1
 # or
$ tapit set process name=default memory=1

• Ensure you use the Elixir buildpack by editing your tapit.toml file in the app dir: ```toml

  tapit.toml

  app = “myAppName”

buildpacks = [ “https://tapitalee.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/elixir/elixir-0.5.tgz” ]

[environment_variables] ELIXIR_VERSION = “1.17.2”

#### Optional configuration
* Specify a web process with a `Procfile`


#### Add a database

Options for AWS-managed database add-ons include RDS MySQL and Postgres.

By default the connection and authnetication details are sent to the app via the environment variable `DATABASE_URL`, which Elixir handles automatically by default.


#### Set environment variables

$ tapit set variable SECRET_KEY_BASE mix phx.gen.secret secret=yes

#### Migrate database

To run commands interactively at a shell prompt:
```bash
$ tapit run bash

To create a background task (without console interactions, ideal for scripting) for DB migration:

$ tapit create task 'mix ecto.migrate'
