I’ve made a behaviour that helps write faster many named GenServers. Like `named: __MODULE__ `.

It’s a behaviour module for starting supervised GenServer that is named as ` __MODULE__ ` by default or you can supply different name.

With the use of `NamedSupervisedServer`, you can avoid the need to add `c:start_link/1` function with `name: __MODULE__ ` to your module every time you write a new one. If you need your own `c:start_link/1` function, you can override it.

PS. If you use Docker with Elixir, please try [Nbpm](https://hex.pm/packages/nbpm/) package. It frees you from having to deal with EPMD.
