This Docker repository belongs with the following blog post:

http://blog.xebia.com/2014/07/04/create-the-smallest-possible-docker-container/⁠

Update (11 May 2017): The image creation process is greatly simplified with the introduction of Multi-Stage Builds. See my new blog “Simplify the Smallest Possible Docker Image⁠”

The purpose is to create a Docker image FROM scratch and make it useful by placing a GoLang executable inside it. In this case, a simple Hello World web server.
