Getting ssl error when running mix release

/phoenix#deployment

Hi,

I’m getting the following error when running mix release: ** (Mix) Could not load ssl.app. Reason: :enoent

I’m running on Fedora 42 if that helps?

Sharing Erlang + Elixir versions will help, as will telling us if you have OpenSSL’s libraries installed as well.

Also running on Fedora 42 and encountered this today
No mix.exs changes helped me, but using asdf-managed Erlang/Elixir instead of the system one did:

asdf install erlang 26.2.5
asdf install elixir 1.17.3-otp-26
asdf local erlang 26.2.5
asdf local elixir 1.17.3-otp-26

This is with the versions I use, plug in whatever version you need

iex(1)> Mix.Tasks.Release.run([])

I really really want to avoid asdf, I think I will do a docker build if there’s no other options.
