How can I compile and build a Phoenix application locally so that I can upload a compiled one to a server?

It sounds like that’s what you’ve already been doing… or have you been using your “destination server” as the build server for Edeliver? Because yes, you can absolutely build it locally, and then just deploy the packaged release (which should work with pretty much any Linux system, if built on Linux). No other dependencies needed.

This is the approach I’ve been using with Edeliver:

Wanted: Recommendations on how to use docker as a release build environment (for a phoenix app) with edeliver and distillery

When we were setting up Edeliver + Docker for a couple of internal tools, we wanted to still keep things very streamlined; basically you shouldn’t “need” to know that a Docker instance was involved, whether it was started or not, etc. We’re also commonly running SSH servers on our dev machines, so we can’t map the port directly. Our release process is basically: # Build it and deploy to staging: ./build_release.sh mix edeliver deploy release to staging --version=THE_VERSION --start-deploy # Te…

TL;DR - We build locally, in a Docker container, and then Edeliver ships off the release to the destination server(s).
