Distributed IEX Sessions - or other Elixir apps (OTP or phoenix)
I and my friend collaborate remotely via zoom. We share screen and pair program.
Sometimes, I would like to execute certain commands on his local machine (by attaching iex shell) while he is working on something else, so that we both are testing functions from the same codebase.
How can I attach iex shell to his machine?

If you don’t need encryption, it’s pretty simple:
Make sure to use the same cookie. You may need to open ports in the firewall, or ideally use something like Tailscale to create a secure VPN.

How about something like wemux where you’re sharing a shell?

That way you could execute arbitrary commands.
