freshwebio/gowatch repository overview

Provides a script which runs as the container endpoint which deals with utilising the inotify-tools inotifywait command to listen for changes to *.go files in the specified root directory. It will then attempt to build the app, if that succeeds kill the current process running the app and starting a new one.

Prerequisites for using this image is that the two following environment variables are required: APP_DIR - The directory in the container which the application source code will be mounted to. APP_NAME - The name of the app so the script can run the correct binary once it has successfully built the app.
