ubuntu/go repository overview

ubuntu/go is a rock for go maintained by Canonical⁠.

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

This contains a minimal Go toolchain which can be used to build a wide variety of Go applications. It also includes a minimal GCC toolchain to build the Go applications that have C dependencies.

Any additional dependencies can be either mounted at runtime or installed with the apt installation included in this rock.

This rock's entrypoint is Pebble, a container-optimized init process that enables the orchestration of a collection of local service processes as an organized set.

⁠Inspect

To view the Pebble services⁠ and checks⁠ defined in this rock:

docker run --rm ubuntu/go:1.26-26.04_stable plan

⁠Run

To run this rock, use any of the usual container runtimes, for example, docker:

docker run --name go-container \
    --rm -v /path/to/your/go/project:/work -w /work \
    ubuntu/go:1.26-26.04_stable \
    exec go build /path/to/target

The project within the current working directory will be built with the go build command. The resulting binary will be placed in the current working directory.

⁠Get logs

To view the logs of the running container, run:

docker exec go-container pebble logs

Or, for a specific service:

docker exec go-container pebble logs <service>

⁠Monitor health checks

Rocks may have predefined health checks that you can list by running:

docker exec go-container pebble checks

The overall health of your container can be inspected via:

docker exec go-container pebble health
