Hello everyone! I’m quite excited since this is my first post on ElixirForum yay!
Okay so let’s get to the point.
I have created some hobby application on Heroku. I was using this guide here https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/heroku.html
My application is container one, using Dockerfile looking like this:
FROM elixir:1.10.1-alpine as build
RUN apk add --update git build-base
WORKDIR /app
RUN mix local.hex --force && \
mix local.rebar --force
ENV MIX_ENV=prod
ADD . .
RUN mix deps.get
RUN mix deps.compile
RUN mix release
# prepare release image
FROM alpine:3.9 AS app
RUN apk add --update bash openssl
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/_build/prod/rel/<app_name> .
CMD ["./bin/<app_name>", "start"]
So basically everything works great, the application is running but the problem is when I want to connect to my application by IEx shell.
heroku run "./bin/<app_name> remote"
After that I just receive information that
Could not contact remote node <app_name>@187ca8de-f25e-4555-bf9d-eb4a8d3e6649, reason: :nodedown. Aborting...
I’m wondering what’s the case here. I saw on this Heroku docs, that when using buildpack there is a possibility to connect via iex -S mix
of course but in my case when I run the application in a container that’s no go.
Maybe there is no possibility to connect to that app because of how Heroku dynos are working. I don’t know that and this is the case why this post was created
I would appreciate any help, thank you!
