vensder/hello-go repository overview

⁠Small Golang webserver in Docker

⁠How to run:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --rm --name hello-go vensder/hello-go

Open http://localhost:8080/Hi%20there!⁠ or any other random path after slash in your web browser.

View logs:

docker logs hello-go

Stop container:

docker stop hello-go

⁠How to build your own image if you don't have Go (but have a docker):

git clone https://github.com/vensder/hello-go.git

cd hello-go

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang:1.8-alpine go build -v webserver.go

Make binary file smaller:

strip webserver

mkdir -p bin/ && mv webserver bin/

Build docker image:

docker build -t hello-go .

So you got smallest docker image with built-in web-server, it has size less than 8 MB! You can use it even in embedded systems.
