Hi Folks,
I have started working on a project that was not built using docker. Its pheonix framework with liveview implementation. The problem is that in docker there are two problems,
- Auto reload does not work despite all settings
- Page reloads are extremely slow. It takes 10-20 seconds for page refresh. In the terminal i see after page refresh nothing happens but close to 8-9 seconds db requets for data get fired and then page reloads.
I have spent 2 weeks on this trying different online solutions but no joy.
Following are my docker files.
