Exon 2

Exon is a “mess manager” developed in Elixir and provides a simple API to manage & document your stuff. And by that I mean "physical stuff".

About the clients

The specs are located here. Please tell me if something went wrong during their implementation.

About the server

Running the server.

(export MIX_ENV=prod)

1. Edit the config file ) according to your needs.
2. mix do deps.get, compile
3. mix ecto.migrate
4. iex -S mix or iex -S mix phx.server to enable the WebUI
5. ???
6. Enjoy.

Logging

For the moment (16/09/2016), partial logging on disk is done, at log/exon.log. It contains the date + hour of the operation, the result (success/failure) and the client's username + hostname/IP address.

What should be done

• Authentication
• Writing tests.

• Make it more CRUD

  • For the moment, every comment and item are stored ad vitam æternam

• A search functionality

  • Use LIKE.

Authentication

An authenticated user can register items with their name, and are able to remove items.

TODO:

• In case of repetedly login failure, activate a timeout and a ban.

Trivia

{:ok, socket} = :gen_tcp.connect {127,0,0,1}, 8878, [:binary, active: false] :ok = :gen_tcp.send(socket, "id 324234n") {:ok, json} = :gen_tcp.recv(socket, 0)
