Nbpm

Name-Based Port Mapper

Nbpm is a lightweight Elixir module that provides a simplified implementation of the Erlang Port Mapper Daemon (EPMD) protocol. It enables basic functionality for mapping Erlang node names to network ports. This module is designed as a convenient alternative to a full EPMD implementation, making it easier to facilitate communication between Erlang nodes.

Features

• Mix.Release compatibility.
• Ability to specify port number in the node name.
• Hash-Based Port from node name.

Installation

To use Nbpm in your Elixir project, add it as a dependency in your mix.exs file:

def deps do
[
    {:nbpm, "~> 0.2.0"}
]
end

Execute mix nbpm.install

This will add -start_epmd false -epmd_module Elixir.Nbpm to ELIXIR_ERL_OPTIONS in files rel/env.sh.eex and rel/env.bat.eex
