itzg/go-alpine-build repository overview

This image is used to build alpine compatible golang applications. Alpine uses musl instead of glic, so typical golang builds compiled for "linux" don't work on Alpine. It is based on the official golang⁠ image's alpine tag and pre-installs git and glide⁠.

⁠Usage

Run this image attaching the directory to build to the appropriate sub-path of /go/src and set the working directory with -w to the same path. If an argument is passed after the image name, then that will be passed as the output name (-o) of the built executable.

For example,

git clone https://github.com/itzg/haproxy-gen.git
cd haproxy-gen
docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/go/src/github.com/itzg/haproxy-gen \
  -w /go/src/github.com/itzg/haproxy-gen \
  itzg/go-alpine-build dist/haproxy-gen-alpine

The build will produce an executable haproxy-gen-alpine in the dist directory.

⁠Options

Set -e SKIP_GLIDE=1 to skip the glide install step, which is useful when a previous build in the same workspace has already done this step.
