<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Lukas,</div><div><br></div><div>I use erl_boot_server in an internal/under development tool aimed for helping running heterogeneous integration tests from common tests or ex_unit in a<br>docker compose like environment. The erl_boot_server is used when one of the nodes (docker container) needs to load code (e.g: web application) and configuration<br>using test specific parameters. I could use another solution for erl_boot_server if it gets removed one day.<br><br>IMO, I think erl_boot_server and erl_prim_loader really interesting when looking at some possible use cases in embedded context and cloud as well.<br><br>Is it possible to move erl_boot_server and erl_prim_loader to an external open source project or something like that ?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Dec 10, 2020 at 2:24 PM Lukas Larsson <<a href="mailto:lukas@erlang.org">lukas@erlang.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello!<div><br></div><div>We are thinking about deprecating and then removing the erl_boot_server (<a href="https://erlang.org/doc/man/erl_boot_server.html" target="_blank">https://erlang.org/doc/man/erl_boot_server.html</a>) and corresponding support in erl_prim_loader. erl_boot_server is used to boot systems that do not have a disk to read Erlang modules from but instead do it via tcp.</div><div><br></div><div>So we would like to know if anyone is using this functionality? and if so, what is the problem that you are solving with it?</div><div><br></div><div>Lukas</div></div>
