This is the Elixir OTP core or functional engine of the server process.
The use of the Makefile is preferred for building and running this project due to its NIF dependencies. Use the respective make build and make run options to build and run host_core.
- Elixir installation, minimum
v1.14.0 - Erlang/OTP installation, minimum
OTP 25 - NATS installation, minimum
v2.7.2
If you have a functioning Elixir development environment that includes NATS, then you can simply git pull this entire repository, cd into the host_core directory, and run iex -S mix to launch the application with an active iex console.
If instead you prefer to work from the production release, then consult our installation guide for the exact instructions.
This OTP application requires the use of NATS with the JetStream server enabled (v2.7.2 or later). Thankfully JetStream comes built-in to all NATS servers and you can simply launch your server with the -js or --jetstream flag.
This OTP application will fail to start without a running NATS server.
For information on how to configure the OTP application (which includes supplying NATS connection information), check out the host runtime reference.
