Go Web Server with Docker 🚀

This repository contains a simple Go web server that serves different responses based on different routes. Additionally, a Dockerfile is included to containerize the Go application.

Overview 📝

main.go

• Entry point of the program.
• Defines a basic web server using the net/http package.
• Two routes: / and /hello.
• / responds with a formatted string containing the escaped URL path.
• /hello responds with a simple "Hello" message.

Dockerfile

• Uses the specified Go version as the base image.
• Sets the working directory inside the container.
• Copies the source code, builds the Go application, and defines the command to run the executable.

Building and Running 🛠️

To build the Docker image and run the container:

• This command builds the Docker image for the Go web server based on the provided Dockerfile:

docker build -t go-docker-test .

• Use this command to start the Docker container:

docker run -p 8000:8080 go-docker-test

It maps port 8000 on your local machine to port 8080 on the container, allowing you to access the web server at http://localhost:8000/.

Note for Windows

If you are using Git Bash on Windows, you might encounter issues with the terminal. In such cases, use the following command with winpty:

winpty docker run -p 8000:8080 go-docker-test
