To start your Phoenix server locally:

• Setup the project with mix setup
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

This project contains a Dockerfile to build and deploy the application in a docker container.

docker build . --tag recipes_backend:0.0.1

Before you run the image, make sure to pass the required environment configuration variables. You can create a .env file with the following content:

DATABASE_URL=ecto://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<db_name>
SECRET_KEY_BASE=<key generated with mix phx.gen.secret>

Replace the values matching your environment. Then run

docker run -p 4000:4000 --env-file=.env --rm recipes_backend:0.0.1 bin/recipes_backend start

For more information check the phoenix deployment guides.

You can also use docker-compose which automatically respects the .env file.

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose  run --rm app bin/recipes_backend eval "RecipesBackend.Release.migrate"

docker-compose run --rm -e PGPASSWORD="postgres" db /usr/bin/pg_dump -h db --no-owner -U postgres recipes --no-password > dump.sql

docker-compose run --rm -e PGPASSWORD="postgres" db /usr/bin/psql -h db -U postgres recipes < dump.sql
