I am trying to build a mix release but it is failing on start

MIX_ENV=prod mix release papercups

SECRET_KEY_BASE="test"  DATABASE_URL=ecto://postgres:postgres@localhost/chat_api_dev _build/prod/rel/papercups/bin/papercups start

chat_api: generated priv/static/swagger.json
* assembling papercups-0.1.0 on MIX_ENV=prod
* using config/releases.exs to configure the release at runtime

Release created at _build/prod/rel/papercups!

    # To start your system
    _build/prod/rel/papercups/bin/papercups start

Once the release is running:

    # To connect to it remotely
    _build/prod/rel/papercups/bin/papercups remote

    # To stop it gracefully (you may also send SIGINT/SIGTERM)
    _build/prod/rel/papercups/bin/papercups stop

To list all commands:

    _build/prod/rel/papercups/bin/papercups

The code is on this branch to repro https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups/tree/prod-self-deploy-docker

I m not too sure how to debug this would love any feedback or help
Thanks!

I think it expects for configuration for (:chat_api, ChatApiWeb.Endpoint) is not set properly
according to this part

config :chat_api, ChatApiWeb.Endpoint,
  http: [port: {:system, "PORT"}],
  url: [scheme: "https", host: {:system, "BACKEND_URL"}, port: 443],

try to start release with BACKEND_URL and PORT env variables

UPD. I though it should fallback to default “localhost”, though… :thinking:

Thanks Rud! It was ChatApiWeb.Endpoint but in the releases.exs
