In this recipe, we will start two different terminal sessions that will be our nodes, and we will connect them.
Start a named node in terminal window one:
> iex --name [email protected] Interactive Elixir (1.0.2) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help) iex([email protected])1>
Start another named node in terminal window two:
> iex --name [email protected] Interactive Elixir (1.0.2) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help) iex([email protected] )1>
Verify the list of nodes that each of our newly created nodes is aware of:
iex([email protected])1> Node.list [] iex([email protected])1> Node.list []
To connect the two nodes, we will just need to instruct one of them to perform the connection:
iex([email protected])2> Node.connect :"[email protected]" true
Now, confirm that both nodes are connected and aware of each other:
iex([email protected])3> Node.list [:"two...
