A library that implements (to some level) another way of setting up Erlang Distribution. You need to use a custom EPMD module as well. There are two options available in this repo which work to some extent. It's still a work in progress.

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding inet_tcp_dist to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:inet_tcp_dist, "~> 0.1.3"}]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/inet_tcp_dist.
