I'm assuming your ExAmple app picks up whatever the default is, see the hello app for an appropriate example. https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Release.html &=20 https://github.com/skunkwerks/hello/blob/master/rel/config.exs#L33 I've tried both approaches in the past, and now I always bundle erts within the application. You do need to run the epmd daemon somewhere, this is easily enough done via including lang/erlang as a package dependency, or via your CI/CD deployment tools, and starting the epmd service that is provided on FreeBSD. I suggest taking a close look through build.sh, app.sh and the rc.d wrapper in the hello app above, each of the lines there deals with all these nasty little issues. A+ Dave
