I have built a Go project, which is a web application. It has packages and imports from different github repositories (such as Gorilla mux). However, there aren’t really any docs on how to use Docker with a Go project that has dependencies and packages(folders). I am new to Docker, but I am also t…

General idea is to build an executable and package it together with whatever else it needs. FROM alpine:3.7 COPY your files / RUN chmod 0700 /yourexecutable CMD [ '/yourexecutable' ]

Thank you for your response. However, what happens when dependencies and packagea are involved? The docker cannot create the image.

From your output, it looks like your application is called rm1, and is installed directly under the src folder under your GOPATH. Is this correct? If that is the case, you should set that as your working directory in your Dockerfile. The Dockerfile from the golang documentation should be modified …

I think what you’re trying to do is build your application inside a container. I don’t normally recommend that for your “final image” because that means you have your development tools. As you have stated in your OP [image] avivcohen: I have built a Go project, I presume that means you hav…

Ok, I am really sorry for been a noob with Docker (and maybe a little with Go). So basically what I have done so far, is try to create a container with a project folder that contains go files and packages. I have followed your commands, but doing so still provides me with the same errors from the …

I think you’re following @rajchaudhuri advice for the Dockerfile not mine. His approach uses the container to build your Go project. My approach uses the container to run the executable built from your Go project outside Docker. If you want to do @rajchaudhuri approach you have to make sure you a…

Thank you for the reply. I don’t have much of an idea on what you have done there. Is there a way for me to learn that? And precisely in my case, what do I have to do (assuming I am going by your approach-which is more efficient?)?

I see that you’re on Windows but generally containers are using Linux (I haven’t tried the windows containers yet). So you need to work around that. There’s an environment variable GOOS=linux which will allow you to cross compile Linux but I am not sure if the executable it builds works in Linux. …

From your errors screenshot, it seems the go toolset is trying to import packages with the path rm1/controllers (using the command go get -d -v ./...) and failing. This is a go problem, not a docker problem. I am assuming that you know about the go language conventions about package paths and names…
