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
