arbuckle / golang-docker-build

Builds a Go (Golang) project in a docker container targeting Alpine Linux

Golang Build Helper

Resolves dependencies using godep and builds a target project, emitting an executable into the working directory.

Uses godep. Prep your environment as follows:

    go get github.com/tools/godep
    godep save

Build target is alpine:3.2.

By default, emits a file named build-YYYYMMDD-HHMM. This behavior can be overridden by passing the FILENAME environmental var into the container

Examples

    // builds the project in the present working directory
    $ docker run -v $PWD:/build golang-build:0.1

    // builds the project in the present working directory and emits an executable with a specific filename
    $ docker run -v $PWD:/build -e FILENAME=my-project golang-build:0.1

Example makefile

Also included is an example makefile. You could include this with your project, for example, to build it using this container simply by calling make build
