LING: Erlang on Xen

Wikipedia: -ling, an English diminutive suffix

How to get started?

The easy way is to use pre-built railing utility:

1. Grab a binary named railing-<version> from releases.

2. Rename the binary to railing and move it to your Erlang project directory.

3. Create the image and the domain configuration file:

   ./railing image
   

4. Boot the Xen domain and get the familiar Erlang shell:

   xl create -c domain_config
   

How to build LING from sources?

See INSTALL.md.

How to use railing?

Run railing without options to get help.

To generate the image and the domain configuration file use the image subcommand:

./railing image

This instructs railing to scan all subdirectories for *.beam files. All files found are embedded into the Xen image and become accessible during runtime. Certain subdirectories can be excluded from the search using -x option.
