title: Minimal Phoenix and Elixir Dockerfile Example
|

---
|
||||

Recently, I was setting up a Dockerfile for a Phoenix web app. There are official **Elixir** Docker images, but finding one specifically set up to handle the Phoenix Framework with asset compilation is messier territory. There's no single set of \"official\" configurations.

Everybody has an opinion about how you should do this. A lot of these opinions involve adding a lot of bells and whistles. For one, their preferred solution might include Docker Compose. For another, Distillery releases. Since I had not successfully deployed my app with Docker yet at all, I wanted fewer variables to debug.

This starts with the elixir alpine image. Alpine is a skinny Linux that works well in containers. I've found that it is a suitable base for Elixir apps. In my case, I needed a C toolchain to compile some libraries. You might not need that part. Then it sets up hex and rebar for fetching and building dependencies. Then it adds the application directory. It sets the default port and environment. It fetches the dependencies, compiles them, compiles the app, and digests the assets. Then, it starts the server. That's it.

|
|||
|
||||
I have been a Travis CI user. However, Travis has gotten less reliable for me lately. On top of that, I have qualms about how the acquisition of Travis by Idera, and the subsequent layoffs, were handled. Travis is also a square peg in the octagonal hole of my Kubernetes environment. It is a hosted, external service. Everything else I use to develop my applications is hosted inside of my cluster. My Docker registry and my gitops operator run in my cluster. My databases are in my cluster. My storage provider and object store run in cluster. My apps run in cluster. Why would I run my CI/CD service outside of the cluster?
|
||||
|
||||
I came across Drone in my research about alternatives. Drone is a fully container-native, container-loving CI solution. It's Docker all the way down. Since my application is already \"Dockerified\", my hosting environment is all Docker all day, and my deployments are already in the form of a Docker push, why not do CI/CD in Docker as well?

Drone is basically a small framework for running CI jobs made of docker containers. You build your pipeline as a series of steps, each of which is a docker base image, some configuration, and your test commands. Drone also has all the standard integrations you would expect for a CI service-- it talks to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
To use Drone, you'll have to embrace the Docker way. Let go of your test scripts that are building everything from a ubuntu image or a language version manager. Let go of the \"special case magic\" way DBs and other supporting services are handled in other CI platforms. In exchange, you'll find that Drone will let you use any language, any tools, and any languages, so long as they have a Docker image.

|

|

It's actually best to use two of these. Drone (and Docker) prefer if any long running services, such as the Docker daemon, run in their own containers. In my experience, trying to run the Docker daemon in the background of a container that is also doing other commands overcomplicates things. Running the Docker daemon in an isolated container works better, because Docker has provided out of the box initialization scripts for that scenario.

That's a lot of new pieces. What's going on? Well, we've added a `docker:dind` step to the pipeline. This will run our Docker commands, for building and pushing the Docker image. We also need npm and NodeJS, because semantic-release is a Node package. We install npm and update it to the latest version for good measure. Then `(cd assets; npm install; npm run deploy)` builds my assets for production. `npm install` installs semantic-release and the various plugins I use (see my article from the Revelry blog). I build the Docker image. Then, I run semantic-release. Since I'm using semantic-release-docker, it will login to my Docker repo and push the image.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to actually build the image, we need a running Docker daemon. That's where the second `dind` comes in. This one is a service. It runs in privileged mode (required for the dind daemon), which means my Drone project must be flagged as \"trusted.\" We use a shared volume to allow the Docker CLI running in my deployment step to communicate with the Docker daemon running as a service.

I need to provide some credentials for GitHub and for my Docker registry. I do that by exposing them as environment variables. Since I don't want to check in a sensitive credential to git, I use Drone secrets for passwords and tokens. You can set the value of the secret in the project settings UI.

I had a lightbulb moment while I was working with Drone. I had been wondering things like \"I wonder which DBs Drone supports\" or \"I wonder which languages Drone supports.\" Then I realized: Drone supports everything that has a Docker image. To me, this makes it a more flexible and powerful tool than a CI architected like Travis or Codeship. In those CIs, you either have to wait for official support for your language (or service), or you have to hack together a working test script from a base intended for a different language or DB. The way Drone does this means that Drone immediately has a \"feature list\" longer than I can write here.

Where their argument falters is that they seem to assume that which of these models will emerge is a function of which one best addresses the challenges of the modern era, climate change, and the pressures of automation. That's not how economies change. Economies change as a function of who holds economic power, those people's interests, and how people generally relate to economic activity. Without radical economic democracy which places power in many hands, whatever comes next will only serve the few who currently hold power.

I think we all need negative space in our days. We need time to rest and think. It's gauche to admit that in our puritan work culture. We need to be constantly in motion and be seen being constantly in motion. So the average office is a dryer full of ping-pong balls all bouncing off of each other, going round and round, but not making much forward progress. In fact, we're all probably melting a little.

As I read the book, my mind kept finding lines between Fuller and eco-socialism or eco-anarchism. While Fuller calls capitalism and socialism \"mutually extinct,\" there are some ideas in his work that wouldn't be out of place in Marx, Proudhon, or certainly Bookchin.

For example: Fuller's Great Pirates theory of history is a first cousin of \"the history of man is the history of class struggle.\" The Great Pirate theory describes the separation of the ruling class from the ruled class based on who labors and who can command labor. Fuller follows this thread through all the mutations of history— chieftains to kings to industrialists— until we reach the current epoch. In recent history, the Great Pirates— the members of the ruling class— have delegated management of their affairs to states and the scientific-professional class. This is an analysis of our situation that would not be out of place in Piketty.

Fuller correctly concludes that war is a way for the upper class to drive demand and production while controlling the lower classes with xenophobia and violence. He argues that nations and borders are inefficient relics that draw arbitrary unreal lines between people for the purpose of encouraging war and its economic activity. As an engineer, he sees that nations and borders create a tremendous amount of redundancy— redundancy which is useful if you are a Great Pirate who needs production to continue ceaseless to ensure your continued wealth and power.

Fuller couldn't understand why a person with functionally limitless wealth wouldn't start sharing at some point. There comes a point in wealth accumulation when all your barriers are lifted: you have all the creature comforts that you could want, you can travel as much as you would like, and you can work as little as you please. It isn't rational to hoard wealth beyond this point. Fuller, a thoroughly rational person, concludes that the thing to do at that point is to stop seeking further wealth, enjoy what you have, and let the rest flow to everyone else who isn't there yet. He failed to consider that for some people, enough is never enough. Those people seek out wealth, and sometimes they get it. Once they have it, they use their wealth to get more wealth. Since their hunger is infinite, they keep using their wealth to capture more wealth until they have as much as possible, and everyone else is driven to the line of subsistence. The system is inexorable. Even if any individual were to choose differently and give away all their hoarded wealth, another yawning pit of greed would open to fill the gap.

I'm surprised that Fuller missed this, considering he had the Great Pirate theory and whole-systems-thinking right there in the same volume. The Great Pirates keep their fleets because the fleets are power and Great Pirates want power. He spent large stretches of *Operating Manual* discussing how the whole physical world— galaxy upon galaxy&mash; doesn't constitute a complete system without the metaphysical world of human thought and behavior. The universe acts on us and we act on the universe and then this flow continues round and round forever. If the system of \"human ingenuity plus near-limitless solar energy\" is generally pointed toward a future of universal wealth and leisure, shouldn't we consider that the human element would nudge the ultimate result one way or the other? We should.

*Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth* gives us a lot to consider in a scant 150 pages. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in considering our position in time and space, in realms physical and metaphysical.

I know the feeling. Though the term has been around since 1999 or so, there's been a spike in discussion lately. The focus of that discussion has been on finding ways to save time, mostly via automation products and delivery services. It's almost as if there are people with a vested interest in selling you a \"solution\" to this problem (whether it works or not). I think most of the discussion and most of the proposed solutions entirely miss the point.

1. I've been digging [Oxide and Friends](https: //oxide.computer/) from [Oxide Computer Company](https://oxide.computer/). Oxide is doing something very difficult-- building completely custom, completely secure (from the 1st instruction) servers. Oxide and Friends is the team chatting about the interesting parts of that monumental challenge. I only understand a fraction of what they are talking about, but it is still fascinating. It makes me wish I had finished my Computer Engineering degree. My favorite episode so far is [the episode about the various circuit boards they've designed both for the server AND as tools to doing their work in the lab.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmiWIlFvSYs).

Then five years ago, without any warning or explanation, the lunar colonies stopped transmitting and the MPT failed, blacking out the whole world. You play as a lone astronaut sent on a longshot mission to investigate what happened and bring the MPT back on line. I became aware of this game when a sequel (Deliver Us Mars) was released this week.

I am often asked how I find the clients for my Fractional Engineering Lead practice. Here's what I do. It has worked for me for about two and a half years now, but it might not work for you and it might not even work for me a month from now.
|
||||
|

I don't do sales. I don't do \"lead gen\" or \"biz dev.\" I don't even really network in the traditional sense. I also don't have someone to do these things for me.

|
||||
|
||||
What I do is I help people. I don't help them so that they give me contracts some day. I help them because I like helping people, particularly other Software Engineers, and I help them because it's the right thing to do.
|
||||
|
||||
The other thing I do is I ask people to help me. I don't ask for contracts, because either someone has work that's a good fit for me, or they don't. I ask people to give me advice, to help troubleshoot an issue, or to introduce me to their friends.
|
||||
|
||||
Every contract I've ever gotten has been someone who I've helped and/or someone who has helped me. It's usually not anytime close to when we had that first interaction. They usually email me up out of the blue and say \"I have / heard about a project, and I think you could help.\"

When I started working as a Fractional Engineering Lead, I got my first contract from an amazing kind former coworker of mine. I helped her (in a very small way) to get that job, and she helped me fix some HR snags at that company. A couple years later, she heard that I'd lost my job and she connected me to my first incredible client. I don't think I would have the business I have today without her!
