I am the maintainer of Comeonin (and its password hashing dependencies). Several users are having problems deploying argon2_elixir, as can be seen in this issue . It seems that there are no problems with bcrypt_elixir. If anyone is successfully deploying argon2_elixir, we would love to hear from yo…

The problem people are reporting is that their dev builds work, but the production build doesn’t, and it seems they’re using Distillery. :slight_smile:

Just want to chime in and say that I’ve reviewed the thread, and I don’t believe the issue lies with Distillery. If there was a general issue with NIFs, we’d see it in other cases, but we don’t. Rather curiously, even between two very similar libraries (bcrypt_elixir and argon2_elixir), only the lat…

Can someone explain why would a dev build work, but a prod release fail please? It really bothers me in a “Can I depend on this thing” kind a way :slight_smile:

Wonderful :slight_smile: Is this a Distillery specific problem or release problem in general?

[image] Deithrian: Is this a Distillery specific problem or release problem in general? Releases in general, they are designed to be small packed distributions with no extra stuff. :slight_smile: It’s not even a problem, it is just by design, just all libraries should do things right or the…

You’re making the assumption that this is even caused by releases in the first place. Based on that thread, it’s not clear to me whether people are running into this issue because they are taking a release and dropping it on another host which is missing system dependencies, or same OS but different…

Quick update: I have made changes to the Makefile (removed some of the optimization options), and I’m waiting for feedback on those changes.

Problem solved :smile: Simplifying the Makefile, along with a couple of other minor changes to the NIF code, (in version 1.2.13) seems to have solved the problem. If anyone here was having issues creating a release, please update to 1.2.13.
