Go + DB + Docker Boilerplate

Configuration

Configuration is done via environemnt variables.

For local dev they are stored in .env file in repo root, for local docker build in build/local/.env

Variables

• PROJECT - project name, used for docker
• SERVER_PORT - rest api http server port

For local dev also:

• APP_ENV=local - so that app not runs in production config, e.g. removed debug logs, endpoints, etc.

For integration tests:

• SERVER_URL - url of rest api http server to be tested

Docker files

• src.Dockerfile - creates base image with src and dependencies, used by build and int
• build.Dockerfile - builds app image
• int.Dockerfile - builds integration tests image

Deployment

Docker compose files are located in build directory:

• docker-compose.yml - contains the application
• docker-compose.dependencies.yml - contains local dependencies to be substitued by infrastructure on provider
• docker-compose.integration.yml - contains integration tests docker container

Requirements

• docker, docker-compose
• make
• git
• curl (optional)

Windows

• https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
• http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
• https://git-scm.com/
• https://curl.haxx.se/windows/

or using chocolatey:

choco install docker-desktop make git curl

or using scoop

scoop install docker make git curl

Building and running

To install dependencies for local dev: make deps

To build and run locally:

make dev

To run locally with hot reload:

make dev-hot

To build docker image:
