Building

Run the type-checker (dialyzer):

mix dialyzer

Build w/ mix:

mix release --env=prod

Currently everything is configured through configs.exs.

Docker

I’ve included docker and docker-compose configs, so you can run a testnet locally. The compose config will spin up 6 identical instances, one which matches an address in my test seed DNS: test1.wpc.io. If you don’t modify the seed DNS you risk getting some bad peers but it shouldn’t really matter if they cross-polinate, your nodes might just take longer to connect.

sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up
