Description
I have stumbled upon two issues when trying to deploy our app to GAE using this runtime. Both could be solved by adding an additional build hook where I can paste in my code. You already provide similar hook that we need, but it's executed too late, i.e.:
runtime_config:
build:
- mix phx.digest
- mix do.something.else
As described: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/elixir-runtime#customizing-application-builds
This is useful if you want to tweak the build, but it is not useful for us because at this stage Elixir and Erlang and app deps are already installed.
We probably would need two hooks in fact that are executed before that.
First hook would be executed before we run asdf install
in the build process. This is so we can add additional asdf plugins that we need. In particular, we would like to speed up our build times by using custom asdf plugin similar to this one https://github.com/michallepicki/asdf-erlang-prebuilt-ubuntu-20.04, which would fetch official Erlang builds used by and provided by hex.pm, so that our deployments use them instead of building Erlang 24 every single release.
The second hook we would need is after asdf install
is performed and we have erlang and Elixir. We'd need this to set private Hex repositories to import our private Hex packages but also Oban's PRO hex package and a web ui. I believe we have a request on this repo in #23 and this will only get more badly needed as Oban's popularity grows.
So I imagine this as being these two extra hooks, but I could also settle for an entirely custom build hook where you can specify commands that are executed instead of current hardcoded build process.
Let me know what you think would be best solution here form your point of view. I can provide a PR.
