nolim1t/golang-httpd-test repository overview

⁠Test GoLang HTTPD

⁠About

The purpose of this project is purely for learning how go build interfaces and a HTTPD API server in GOLANG.

I do like go, because the packaging system works with git seamlessly (because decentralization!)

Eventually, I'd like to use this for querying external based libraries (such as lnd / bitcoind), and utilizing a config file.

⁠Directory structure

• common: contains some useful utilities.
• pineclient : contains the pineclient package for reading stuff from the PINEphone.
• bitcoind : contains bitcoind client package for reading bitcoind
• btcprice : contains btc price utilities
• go.mod : contains a list of all the go modules and defines the base package name.
• main.go : Defines the entry point which binds all the modules together.

⁠Building - Docker

⁠Build Arguments

• VERSION - defines the version to be timestamped inside the --version identifier in the binary
• VER_GO - defines the version for GO to be used (default: 1.15)
• VER_ALPINE - defines the version of alpine to be used. Must also support the version of go or it will fail (default: 3.12)
• TAGS - defines any build tags to be used.

⁠Example

Here is an example of building this project in docker (on your current environment). You may substitute this with buildx build which uses very similar parameters.

docker build --build-arg VERSION=0.0.1 \
             --build-arg VER_GO=1.15 \
             --build-arg VER_ALPINE=3.12 \
             --build-arg TAGS="static_build" \
             -t nolim1t/httpd:0.0.1 \
             .

⁠TODO

• Configuration File support
• Static Directory serving
• Toggle between dev and production mode
• Dockerfile support
• Docker buildx support to push to both github and gitlab
• Tidy up code and make this a template fully configurable server in a MVC format
