Build own base container

docker build -t golang:1.16.6-alpine-own docker/golang1.16.6-alpine
docker build -t golang:1.16.7-alpine-own docker/golang1.16.7-alpine

Build own base container from a go git repo

git clone https://github.com/golang/go.git
cd ../..
docker build -t golang:master --no-cache docker/golang-git

Install Go from source package

Download, unpack and build wanted version using existing Go installation. This example uses a local go 1.16.6 when bootstrapping.

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.8.src.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf go1.17.8.src.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/go/src
sudo GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$HOME/sdk/go1.16.6 ./make.bash

Install Go from git master

cd /usr/src/
git clone https://github.com/golang/go.git
echo "go1.XX" > VERSION
cd src/
sudo GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$HOME/sdk/go1.16.6 ./make.bash

Uninstall

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go and remove from path
