How To Use

Start the Docker containers:

Running this step for the first time builds the container images. This process can take a while.

docker-compose up

this starts Nginx and Go containers. Nginx is a reverse proxy passing requests to the Go server.

What Next

While the containers are running, visit http://localhost in your browser.

Create a new package:

mkdir your_package

add your new go package, compile, and run it:

docker exec -it goenv_app_1 go build -o your_package /code/your_package/example.go

docker exec -it goenv_app_1 go run /code/your_package/example.go

Stop the running containers:

docker-compose down
