I’ve made a behaviour that helps write faster many named GenServers. Like named: __MODULE__.

It’s a behaviour module for starting supervised GenServer that is named as __MODULE__ by default or you can supply different name.

With the use of NamedSupervisedServer, you can avoid the need to add c:start_link/1 function with name: __MODULE__ to your module every time you write a new one. If you need your own c:start_link/1 function, you can override it.

PS. If you use Docker with Elixir, please try Nbpm package. It frees you from having to deal with EPMD.
