See our GitHub repo for the latest content, to file an issue or submit improvements for review and potential inclusion into the project.
See these container image registries for the full listing of available images:
A mix of GitHub Actions / CI focused Docker container images primarily intended to simplify linting/testing/building other Go projects that I maintain. I am developing the content in the open in case it is useful to others.

These images are intended to assist with asserting that projects build with the latest version in a specific series.
Unlike most other images, the go-ci-oldstable-mirror-build
name is not the
title of an image (such as go-ci-stable
), but rather an additional tag for
the latest version of the golang
image for the oldstable
series.
- built from the latest version of the
golang
image for theoldstable
series- e.g., if the latest
oldstable
version of the Go toolchain is 1.19.6 and 1.20.1 is the latest in thestable
series, thego-ci-oldstable-mirror-build
image will refer to the 1.19.6 image
