Using Dialyzer for type checking

• Setup with Phoenix
• Uses ExGuard to run every time a file is changed.
• Run mix guard to start watching files.
• Check out .exguard.exs for configuration.

Postgres setup

Setup on Centos7

Change password to postgres user

sudo -u user_name psql db_name

or 

ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';

Edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

local   all   all   trust

systemctl restart postgresql

Postgres in docker container

docker run --name postgres1 -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -d postgres

Issues encountered

• Building the client files fails with not enough ram
• It runs out of ram on a Centos vps so I needed to add more swap space

Battlenet API

Battlenet required https for a redirect for authentication. I use caddy for https proxy during development.

Caddyfile

https://localhost {
        tls self_signed
        proxy / http://localhost:8080 {
                transparent
                websocket
        }
}
