This supervisor module takes care of starting the required database storage processes. It is automatically started with the :ref_inspector application.

If you do not want to automatically start the application itself you can adapt your configuration for a more manual supervision approach.

Instead of adding :ref_inspector to your :applications list or using the automatic discovery you need to add it to your :included_applications:

def application do
  [
    included_applications: [
      # ...
      :ref_inspector,
      # ...
    ]
  ]
end

That done you can add RefInspector.Supervisor to your hierarchy:

children = [
  # ...
  RefInspector.Supervisor,
  # ..
]
