backplane/goenv repository overview

⁠goenv

alpine:edge⁠-based dockerization of the go⁠ programming language compiler and tools

As the homepage says:

This image is meant to be used as a builder stage in a multi-stage build and it is also very useful for interactive use during development.

The source code for this image is hosted on GitHub in the backplane/conex repo⁠.

⁠Usage

⁠Interactive

This shell function demonstrates using this image in place of having the actual go installation.

goenv() {
  docker run \
    --rm \
    --interactive \
    --tty \
    --volume "$(pwd):/home/user/go/src/local" \
    "$@" \
    backplane/goenv
}

Then you just cd to a directory with a go project (or an empty directory) and run goenv.
