Hi everyone,
Goal
I am seeking advice on running an Elixir WebRTC peer from a docker container.
Problem
When running the application from the root system, everything works fine, but running the same in a docker container crashes on load of the NIF used by ex_sctp.
Sample Project
A sample project can be found here
Intended Architecture
The Macula Ring in this drawing is intented to be powered by WebRTC.
Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Many thanks for your response. I’ve updated the repo with some additional scripts and indeed, the release runs fine on the host machine, but fails to start inside a container.

Hmm, getting the exactly same issue. Can you confirm that you can run the release outside of docker?
I might have a suspicion that the release is not bundling the compiled NIFs correctly.
