Go development container

This container can be used for Go development. Based on the golang:alpine container, it adds the following improvements:

• Does not clobber your file permissions when doing dev with your local directory mounted in as a volume
• Includes git, glide, and make

Usage

The work directory must be set to the place where the working volume will be mounted. The entrypoint script automatically creates a user inside the container to match the work directory's ownership; the container then runs as that user. Example:

docker run \
    -v `pwd`:/go/src/src.paxautoma.com/paxautoma/myproject \
    -w /go/src/src.paxautoma.com/paxautoma/myproject \
    paxautoma/golang-dev:latest

Another approach is to create a Docker image that is based on this one. In that image, you must set WORKDIR to wherever your work directory volume will be mounted.

FROM pa-dev:latest

# ... other other customization here

WORKDIR /go/src/src.paxautoma.com/paxautoma/myproject

Then, run the container like this:

docker run \
    -v `pwd`:/go/src/src.paxautoma.com/paxautoma/myproject \
    <image-name>
