golang-cross

Docker container to do cross compilation (Linux, windows, macOS, ARM, ARM64) of go packages including support for cgo.

Docker images

• Find it on GitHub packages

  • golang-cross

    docker pull ghcr.io/gythialy/golang-cross:latest
    

  • golang-cross-builder

    docker pull ghcr.io/gythialy/golang-cross-builder:v1.17.1
    

• Build your own images

  • Build base image (optional)

     docker build -f Dockerfile_builder -t ghcr.io/gythialy/golang-cross-builder:v1.17.1 .
    

    Please follow the guide to pack the SDK first

  • Build golang-cross image

    docker build --build-arg GO_VERSION=1.16.2 \
      --build-arg GOLANG_DIST_SHA=542e936b19542e62679766194364f45141fde55169db2d8d01046555ca9eb4b8 \
      --build-arg GORELEASER_VERSION=0.162.0 \
      --build-arg GORELEASER_SHA=4b7d2f1e59ead8047fcef795d66236ff6f8cfe7302c1ff8fb31bd360a3c6f32e \
      -f Dockerfile \
      -t ghcr.io/gythialy/golang-cross:latest .
    

    The default arguments can be overridden with --build-arg

How to use

• Prepare GoReleaser configuration

• Generate environment variable PRIVATE_KEY from the GPG private key (optional), if enable the signing feature

  export PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat ~/private_key.gpg | base64)

• Run docker container to build the binaries

    export GO_BUILDER_VERSION=v1.17.1
    docker run --rm --privileged \
      -e PRIVATE_KEY=$(PRIVATE_KEY) \
      -v $(CURDIR):/golang-cross-example \
      -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
      -v $(GOPATH)/src:/go/src \
      -w /golang-cross-example \
      ghcr.io/gythialy/golang-cross:$(GO_BUILDER_VERSION) --snapshot --rm-dist

Practical example

• .goreleaser.yml
• Makefile
