runtime

google/golang-runtime

google/golang-runtime is a docker base image for easily building containers for standard golang applications.

It can automatically bundle a golang application with its dependencies and set the default entrypoint with no additional Dockerfile instructions.

It is based on google/golang base image.

Usage

• Create a Dockerfile in your golang application directory with the following content:

    FROM google/golang-runtime
  

• Build your container image by running the following command in your application directory:

    docker build -t app .
  

Sample

See the sources for google/golang-hello based on this image.

Notes

The image assumes that your application:

• has a main package

• listens on port 8080

• may have a gopath subdirectory containing a GOPATH with internal packages dependencies, eg:

    gopath/
    gopath/src/internal
    gopath/src/internal/internal.go
    gopath/src/corp
    gopath/src/corp/corp.go
  

When building your application docker image, ONBUILD triggers fetch the dependencies of your application using go get if not present in the gopath subdirectory.
