tserver

Minimum Server written in golang

Structure of Directories:

• Golang Server:
  • [server_root] / go / src / github.com / [Your_Github_User] / tserver / main.go
• Webapp files:
  • [server_root] / webapp / github.com / [Your_Github_User] / [ web_app_folders ]
  • For [web_app_folders] pattern, follow instructions from https://github.com/tcarvi/localhost

Container and/or Virtual machine configurations:

• You must have golang tools installed
• $GOPATH must be set to [server_root]/go
• $GOBIN must be set to $GOPATH/bin
• $GOBIN must be in your PATH variable
• Example of commands:

# Golang workspace variables  
export GOPATH=[server_root]/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin

# Path for golang development tools
# Verify if /usr/go/bin is set. If not, add it.
export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
# Make your golang projects to be executed outside its src directory.
export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH

Server Initialization:

• Go to tserver.go directory
• Execute: go install
• Inside the root of the webapp directory, execute: $ tserver

Test on localhost:

• Add a line for your [hostname], in your hosts file (/etc/hosts in linux):

127.0.0.1           localhost
::1                 localhost
[hostname].com      localhost:8080

• Go to [server_root]/webapp/github.com/[Your_Github_User]/
• Clone a WebApp template inside this directory: git clone https://github.com/tcarvi/localhost.git
• Follow instructions from https://github.com/tcarvi/localhost
