Testing

To test the library's functionality, docker-compose is used to spin up strongswan in a separate Docker container.

$ docker-compose up -V
Creating network "gostrongswanvici_default" with the default drive
Creating volume "gostrongswanvici_charondata" with default driver
Creating gostrongswanvici_strongswan_1 ... done
Creating gostrongswanvici_go-test_1    ... done
Attaching to gostrongswanvici_strongswan_1, gostrongswanvici_go-test_1
