Nerves Dev Server

Nerves Dev Server is part of the Nerves Devtools ecosystem. When installed on a Nerves device, this package exposes a Phoenix application that provides runtime data and an API for development utilities.

Features

• Provide device metadata (e.g. firmware version, active partition, platform information, etc.)
• Hot module replacement

Roadmap

• Improved API authentication
• Logging tools

Installation

Warning: One of the main features of this application is the ability to do remote code execution. You are advised against using this project in production or on devices that may connect to untrusted networks. In the future, it will be possible to enable/disable this functionality entirely, but we're not quite there yet.

Add nerves_dev_server to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:nerves_dev_server, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Configuration

To get started, add the following to your application's config.exs:

config :nerves_dev_server,
  token_secret: "A RANDOM STRING",
  endpoint: [
    # See https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/Phoenix.Endpoint.html#module-runtime-configuration
    # for a full list of options.
    http: [ip: {0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 4000]
  ]

# Alternatively, you can use `Poison` or `JSON` here instead
