I am trying to run a golang app using docker-compose, below is my compose configuration.
version: '2'
services:
#Application container
go:
image: golang:1.8-alpine
ports:
- "80:8080"
links:
- mongodb
environment:
DEBUG: 'true'
PORT: '8080'
working_dir: /go/src/simple-golang-app
command: go run main.go
volumes:
- ./simple-golang-app:/go/src/simple-golang-app
mongodb:
image: mvertes/alpine-mongo:3.2.3
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "27017:27017"
On running the compose using command "docker-compose up" i get error "stat main.go: no such file or directory" even when main.go is available in working directory.
it works fine when your host dir layout is
oxo@thor ~/Dropbox/Documents/code/docker/golang_working_dir $ find .
.
./docker-compose.yaml
./simple-golang-app
./simple-golang-app/main.go
so here we
cd ~/Dropbox/Documents/code/docker/golang_working_dir
docker-compose up
for a more complex build involving dependancies I use a Dockerfile :
FROM golang:1.8-alpine
RUN mkdir -p /go/src/simple-golang-app/
COPY simple-golang-app/main.go /go/src/simple-golang-app
WORKDIR /go/src/simple-golang-app
RUN apk add --no-cache git mercurial && go get -v -t ./... && apk del git mercurial
RUN go install ./...
RUN go build
ENV PORT 9000
now update your docker-compose.yaml to use this new image :
old
image: golang:1.8-alpine
new
image: nirmal_golang_alpine:latest
so your commands are
docker build --tag nirmal_golang_alpine
docker-compose up
