Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

⁠ Configuration

The following section describes how to run commands

⁠ Running your Golang project

The default workspace for the Bitnami Golang image is /go (GOPATH, consult Golang documentation⁠ for more info about workspaces). You can mount your custom Golang project from your host, and run it normally using the go command.

$ docker -it --name golang run \
  -v /path/to/your/project:/go/src/project \
  bitnami/golang \
  bash -ec 'cd src/project && go run .'

The Bitnami Golang Docker image from the Bitnami Secure Images⁠ catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

• OPENSSL_FIPS: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. yes (default), no.
• GODEBUG: controls Go FIPS mode. Use fips140=only (restricted), fips140=on (relaxed), or fips140=off (disabled).

⁠ Logging

The Bitnami Golang Docker image sends the container logs to the stdout. You can configure the containers logging driver⁠ using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.
