Evaluates Erlang code and prints it's stdout and process return code.

JSON

curl -i -d '{"code":"-module(main). -export([main/0]). main() -> io:format(\"Hello, world!\").","release":"21.3"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/evaluate

x-www-form-urlencoded

curl -i -d 'code=-module(main).%20-export(%5Bmain%2F0%5D).%20main()%20-%3E%20io%3Aformat(%22Hello%2C%20world!%22).&release=21.3' http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/evaluate

Compile

Compiles Erlang code to different forms and prints compilation result.

x-www-form-urlencoded

curl -i -d 'code=-module(main).%20-export(%5Bmain%2F0%5D).%20main()%20-%3E%20io%3Aformat(%22Hello%2C%20world!%22).&release=21.3&emit=beam' http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/compile

Pastebin

Basic pastebin to store and retrieve code snippets.

JSON

curl -i -d '{"code":"-module(main). -export([main/0]). main() -> io:format(\"Hello, world!\").","release":"21.3","emit":"beam"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/pastebin

x-www-form-urlencoded

curl -i -d 'code=-module(main).%20-export(%5Bmain%2F0%5D).%20main()%20-%3E%20io%3Aformat(%22Hello%2C%20world!%22).&release=21.3&emit=beam' http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/pastebin

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" http://tryerl.seriyps.ru/api/pastebin/<paste id>

Deployment

Create new Ansible variables file

cp deploy/vars_example.yml deploy/vars.yml
nano deploy/vars.yml

Create Ansible inventory file

It should have playpen host.

nano deploy/hosts

Run ansible

ansible-playbook -D -K -i deploy/hosts deploy/main.yml

Be careful to not run it with postgres tag agin - it may wipe your pastebin database! Use --skip-tags postgres for re-deployment / upgrades. --tags=src,conf,erl_version,release,start for OTP version updates.
