Phoenix Boilerplate

This is a Phoenix/Elixir boilerplate that includes a auto-setup, docker support and deploy scripts.

Features

• Built in compile target support for Ubuntu 22.04
• Elixir 1.16
• Phoenix 1.7
• OTP 25
• Auto scaffolding (with phx.new)
• Dependencies and db migrations are automatically run when starting/restarting docker

Requirements

• Docker (Install instructions)
• mkcert for SSL

Clean install

1. Copy configuration

   cp docker/config/elixir.example.env docker/config/elixir.env
   

2. Open docker/config/elixir.env and change SCAFFOLD_APP_NAME= to the otp name you want for your app

3. Run: docker-compose up

4. Done. Visit localhost:8000

Installation (when project is set up)

Running in docker

1. Copy configuration

   cp docker/config/elixir.example.env docker/config/elixir.env
   

2. Include this ip on your hosts-file

   127.0.0.1 example.com.test
   

3. Add root cert: mkcert -install (if not already available)

4. Generate ssl cert:

   mkcert --cert-file docker/files/certs/cert.pem --key-file docker/files/certs/cert-key.pem example.com.test
   

5. Enable SSL in Nginx

   sed -i.bak 's/\#mkcert\ //g' docker/files/config/nginx.conf.template
   rm -f docker/files/config/nginx.conf.template.bak
   

6. Start project

   docker-compose up
   

7. Visit your site on https://example.com.test:8001/

Running elixir/otp locally

1. Copy configuration

   cp docker/config/elixir.example.env docker/config/elixir.env
   

2. Include this ip on your hosts-file

   127.0.0.1 example.com.test
   

3. Add root cert: mkcert -install (if not already available)

4. Generate ssl cert:

   mkcert --cert-file docker/files/certs/cert.pem --key-file docker/files/certs/cert-key.pem example.com.test
   

5. Enable SSL in Nginx

   sed -i.bak 's/\#mkcert\ //g' docker/files/config/nginx.conf.template
   rm -f docker/files/config/nginx.conf.template.bak
   

6. Disable elixir docker image

   cp docker-compose.override.example.yml docker-compose.override.example.yml
   

7. Start project

   docker-compose up -d
   

8. Start phoenix

   cd src
   mv local.tool-versions .tool-versions
   asdf install
   source env.local.sh
   mix deps.get
   mix phx.server
   

9. Visit your site on https://example.com.test:8001/

Deployment

Deploying manually

Requirements

• Python 3.8 and pip
• Virtualenv
• Mac OS or Linux (Windows does not currently work)

How to

1. Open deployment folder: cd deploy
2. Setup and activate virtualenv: virtualenv venv && venv/bin/activate
3. Install ansible: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Install ansistrano: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Deploy application

• Stage: ansible-playbook deploy.yml -i stages/stage.yml
• Prod: ansible-playbook deploy.yml -i stages/prod.yml

Style Guide

We use the build in elixir formatter:

docker-compose exec elixir mix format

FAQ
