I'm trying to build a very small Docker container for a Go program. To do that I'm hoping to use a Docker container to build the Go program then (within the container) build another Docker container to run the program.
Here's my build Dockerfile:
FROM google/golang
WORKDIR /gopath/src/mycompany/mygoprog
# Build the Contributors application
RUN mkdir -p /gopath/src/mycompany/mygoprog
ADD ./src/* /gopath/src/mycompany/mygoprog/
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -a -tags rs -ldflags '-w' /gopath/src/mycompany/mygoprog/*.go
RUN cp mygoprog /mygoprog
CMD docker build -t foobar /gopath/src/mycompany/mygoprog
My source directory has my Go program (trivial--compiles/runs) and this Dockerfile for the final product:
FROM scratch
ADD /mygoprog mygoprog
ENTRYPOINT ["/mygoprog"]
EXPOSE 9100
These files are organized thusly:
/myproject
Dockerfile
/src
Dockerfile
mygoprog.go
To launch the build I go to the top directory and run:
docker build .
This runs without errors....and no final image! Output looks like this:
bash-3.2$ docker build .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 6.656 kB

What am I missing so I get a final, runnable Docker with my compiled program inside?
You've produced docker image, but as you haven't specified tag for it is accessible only by hash (d91a908ee663). It is better to specify tag: docker build -t mygoprog . And if you will try to run your image without additional setting it will fail because there is no docker inside of it. Easiest solution here to give access to your docker daemon from container:
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker mygoprog
Docker location could be different in your distro, you also may need --privileged flag.
