docker-go

Alpine based docker image for golang version > 1.5.

Each version can be taken from my docker hub, eg. docker pull metal3d/go:1.6

As soon as I can, the "latest" version will be mapped to the latest go version.

So, docker pull metal3d/go will pull "latest" version of go (1.6 at this time).

Images provides build-base (gcc, g++, libs...) and tools to "get" packages (git, bzr, mercurial, curl...)

Instructions

The image uses that directories:

• /go is the GOPATH
• /usr/lib/go is GOROOT
• $PATH provides GOPATH/bin and $GOROOT/bin

ENTRYPOINT is "go", so you can call go commands directly:

$ docker run --rm metal3d/go version
go version go1.6 linux/amd64

Why that image ?

Because I wanted a smaller image, at first. And because there were no docker 1.6 image when I did my build.
