Connect the session to an already running node and evaluate code in the context of that node. Thanks to this approach you can work with an arbitrary Elixir runtime. Make sure to give the node a name and a cookie, for example:

<%= if Livebook.Config.shortnames? do %>
iex --sname test --cookie mycookie
<% else %>
iex --name test@127.0.0.1 --cookie mycookie
<% end %>

Then enter the connection information below:

<%= f = form_for :data, "#", phx_submit: "init", phx_change: "validate" %>
Name
<%= text_input f, :name, value: @data["name"], class: "input", placeholder: if(Livebook.Config.shortnames?, do: "test", else: "test@127.0.0.1") %>
Cookie
<%= text_input f, :cookie, value: @data["cookie"], class: "input", placeholder: "mycookie" %>
<%= submit "Connect", class: "mt-5 button button-blue", disabled: not data_valid?(@data) %>
