Initialize iex/node with initial instruction

Hi @jonasbhjulstad. Your application module’s start function is generally the place to put code that you want to run on initialization. Often times you should do this via a child in the supervision tree, but you can also do so directly in the start function body too.

I was able to find some code online regarding slave nodes. All I’m looking for is a was to spawn nodes from one iex-shell as a master

<em>:ok = :net_kernel.monitor_nodes(true)
_ = :os.cmd(‘epmd -daemon’)
{ok, master} = Node.start(:master@localhost, :shortnames)</em> <em>setup_slaves = fn(limit) ->
Enum.each(1..limit, fn(index) ->
:slave.start_link(:localhost, ‘slave_#{index}’)
end)
[node() | Node.list()]
end</em> *# setup_slaves.(5) # call this function to create a cluster of 6 nodes*
