UDP server

This GoLang mini-project creates a binary file that listens on an UDP port and prints the output of the UDP port to the stdout.

I use this udp-server project to verify the correct working of my infrastructure.

Usage

Download:

mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/egbertp/udp-server
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/egbertp/udp-server
git clone https://github.com/egbertp/udp-server.git

Build and Run

Install dependencies using Glide Package Management for Go

$ glide install

Build the binary

$ make build

Release the app

$ make release

Run the app

$ ./udp-server --port 37059
