Creating a binary-only Erlang release

I have created a release of my program with rebar. Navigating around in the output directory I see my Erlang source files. Is there any way to create binary only releases of Erlang programs, so that they can be distributed (as closed source) to customers?

Solution

  • Yes, in rebar.config file. {include_src, false} in prod section

    {profiles, [
        {dev1, [{relx, [{dev_mode, false},
                         {include_erts, false},
                         {sys_config, "./config/dev1/sys.config"},
                         {vm_args, "./config/dev1/vm.args"}]}
                ]
        },
        {prod, [{relx, [{dev_mode, false},
                        {include_erts, true},
                        {include_src, false},
                        {sys_config, "./config/prod/sys.config"},
                        {vm_args, "./config/prod/vm.args"}]}]
