Nerves + Phoenix Saves a Father's Sanity!
summary
A home chore system combines Raspberry Pi 3 hardware with an Umbrella Elixir project running Nerves and Phoenix to present a captive portal web UI that only grants each device internet after listed chores are checked. It uses hostapd, dnsmasq and iptables for the AP and redirect, persistent_storage for disk-backed state, a fake-system for tests and dev, and runs reliably for three kids at home though novelty later declines.
