NodeHelper aims to make converting between node representations into FQDN nodenames

Auto Localhost Calculation

Ever tried to connect to another local node but your machine name is not fun to enter? Now all you need to do is enter a name for the node and the localhost is automatically appended

Node Formats

The following is a list of valid node formats and how they are expanded

• name -> :name@localhost
• name@host -> :name@host
• name@a.b.c.d -> :"name@a.b.c.d"
• %{name: name} -> :name@localhost
• %{name: :random} -> random 6 digit name, eg: :atj2ld@localhost
• %{name: [random: 3]} -> random 3 digit name, eg::d5h@localhost
• %{name: name, host: host} -> :name@host
• %{name: name, host: :shortname} -> :name@localhost
• %{name: name, host: :longname} -> :name@localhost_ip
