How to prevent a node becoming distributed if started by a release?
Once my application starts, I want to talk to Consul to figure out other running nodes and connect them into a cluster. I want to customize my node’s longname and cookie.
The problem seems to be that the node is automatically started as a distributed node since I’m using releases. Therefore I can’t use :net_kernel.start (already started) nor :net_kernel.stop (not allowed).
Is there a way to do it? Or do I need to put all the logic into the env.sh?

I think setting start_distribution to false won’t allow you to start it properly later. If you do try to allow it, the system will be in a borked state with missing components.
This feature is not supported by Elixir releases, so please open up an issue. We should add support for something like RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION=noname.
