I’m working on an Elixir application where there’s a constant need to recompile. Usually, we do this locally by running: ```auto iex -S mix ``` This puts us into a REPL at all times to work where we can run recompile(). In my convox.yml, I have: ```auto command: mix phx.server ``` But, if I run: ```auto iex -S mix phx.server ``` I won’t be able to work within that process since I don’t know how to get an interactive REPL from `convox start`. As such, I’ve decided to switch `command` to this: `command: sleep infinity` This way, I can run `convox run web bash` and get into the rack and then since I’ve already exposed the proper port, I can then after getting into a bash instance on my rack run `iex -S mix`. This works great and the running server immediately runs on port 3000, however, convox’s health checks eventually roll back my rack since I’m not using the `command` in the `convox.yml` to run the server. So my questions were: 1. **How do I disable health checks on the local rack?** If I could do this, everything would work. 2. Is there a way to get into the live instance of convox start? 3. Is there a way to use a local postgres tool to access the database convox creates for the local rack, I know the URL is `postgres://app:foo@resource-database.convox-APPLICATIONNAME.svc.cluster.local:5432/app`, but I can’t seem to dump that URL into my Postresql application. How would I do that?
