Orb Badge Server 
Orb Badge is a mini Go server designed to provide a JSON endpoint for Shields.io's custom badges. This allows Orb developers to use a status badge on their repo's readme file.
This software is currently considered a proof of concept. It may go away, and it may break as the Shields.io service is in beta.
Using a Badge
You show an orb version status badge with the following URL:
https://img.shields.io/badge/endpoint.svg?url=https://badges.circleci.io/orb/<namespace>/<orb-name>
where <namespace> is your Orb's namespace and <orb-name> is the name of the specific Orb.
For example, here's a badge for the CircleCI AWS CLI Orb in Markdown with a link back to the Orbs page:
[](https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/circleci/aws-cli)
and here is how it render's:
Development
Raw / Straight on local machine
This server is written in Go. Please use Go v1.11 or later. It may work with earlier versions but it's untested.
go get -u github.com/felicianotech/orb-badge
go run .
Docker
If you don't have Go installed locally or just want to use Docker regardless:
git clone https://github.com/felicianotech/orb-badge-server
cd orb-badge-server
docker build -it dev/orb-badge-server # will show the server running in the terminal and stay attached
docker build -it dev/orb-badge-server # will run the terminal in the background and return control
The server will be available at http://localhost:1107/.
Production
There really isn't a production server right now. I am running a test/beta at https://badges.circleci.io.
To run your own, place the binary on a server and run it.
If you use port 80, sudo will be needed for non-root users.
go build ./...
./orb-badge <port>
Running the binary in something like tmux will make your life easier as well.
