Hi…
Today I have been looking at understanding release builds in more depth and I have made some progress which is comforting. My Phoenix application is backed by a MYSQL database and I am trying to wrap my head around where the database creation fits into the scheme of things when it comes to deploying my release to my server.
I am using the technique described on this page to allow me to run my migrations on the server I am using for deployment:
https://hexdocs.pm/distillery/running-migrations.html#custom-command
This technique is working (for migrations), but I don’t see a mention of ecto.create and I am wondering if it would also be a good idea to include that as a command or whether I should be just manually creating the database on the server before I run migrate and start…
Any suggestions / recommendations on which way would be best to head here?
Cheers…
