# What is Go?
|
|
|
|
Go (a.k.a., Golang) is a programming language first developed at Google. It is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from C, but with additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types (e.g., variable-length arrays and key-value maps), and a large standard library.

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
## Start a Go instance in your app
|
|
|
|
The most straightforward way to use this image is to use a Go container as both the build and runtime environment. In your `Dockerfile`, writing something along the lines of the following will compile and run your project:
|
|
|
|
FROM golang:1.3-onbuild
|
|
|
|
This image includes multiple `ONBUILD` triggers which should cover most applications. The build will `COPY . /usr/src/app`, `RUN go get -d -v`, and `RUN
|
|
go install -v`.
|
|
|
|
This image also includes the `CMD ["app"]` instruction which is the default command when running the image without arguments.
|
|
|
|
You can then build and run the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
docker build -t my-golang-app .
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-golang-app
|
|
|
|
## Compile your app inside the Docker container
|
|
|
|
There may be occasions where it is not appropriate to run your app inside a container. To compile, but not run your app inside the Docker instance, you can write something like:
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang:1.3 go build -v
|
|
|
|
This will add your current directory as a volume to the container, set the working directory to the volume, and run the command `go build` which will tell go to compile the project in the working directory and output the executable to `myapp`. Alternatively, if you have a `Makefile`, you can run the `make` command inside your container.
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang:1.3 make
|
|
|
|
## Cross-compile your app inside the Docker container
|
|
|
|
If you need to compile your application for a platform other than `linux/amd64` (such as `windows/386`), this can be easily accomplished with the provided `cross` tags:
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp -e GOOS=windows -e GOARCH=386 golang:1.3-cross go build -v
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can build for multiple platforms at once:
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang:1.3-cross bash
|
|
$ for GOOS in darwin linux; do
|
|
> for GOARCH in 386 amd64; do
|
|
> go build -v -o myapp-$GOOS-$GOARCH
|
|
> done
|
|
> done
