Make flake deployable as OPT app and managed as rebar dependency

[ghost]

It would be nice if flake was deployable easily as an OTP application running in the same VM as the application that uses it. Also it would be nice if Flake dependency could be added to rebar.config, as in

{deps, [
{flake, "0.7",
{git, "https://github.com/boundary/flake"}}
]}.

At the moment, rebar get-deps ends with error saying missing_app_file.

+1 I agree this would be nice, I can see how hard it would be to fix this

For now, I have forked and made changes to use it as dependency in other projects. It is available at https://github.com/nehalmehta/flake. It would be great if we can create tag for the same in existing project.

We can probably break this apart without completely forking the project.

If you can separate it out as branch that would be best. Appreciate it!

Yeah I think moving top level stuff into a flake_server project might make the most sense.
