To start developing Gatekeeper

This repository hosts all information about building Gatekeeper from source, how to contribute code and documentation.

If you want to build Gatekeeper right away there are two options:

You have a working [Go environment].

$ go get -d github.com/axoe/gatekeeper
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/axoe/gatekeeper
$ gatekeeper

You have a working [Docker environment].

Build:

$ git clone https://github.com/axoe/gatekeeper
$ cd gatekeeper
$ docker build -t gatekeeper .

Run Gatekeeper in Docker

By default the Docker image does not have an ENTRYPOINT set. Uncomment the last line on the Dockerfile to launch Gatekeeper when the container starts

Run:

$ docker run -it gatekeeper

Export AWS ACCESS KEYS:

Once you are inside the container you need to export your AWS ACCESS KEYS

/# export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAXXXXXXXXXX
/# export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XxXxXxXXXX
/# gatekeeper ls --region eu-west-2
