Try Golang, without Golang

docker-golang.md

Experiment with golang without polluting your local

1. install docker ... really, you need to look at containers !!!

2. docker pull golang

3. pretend we have go installed

       echo 'alias go="docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang go "' >> ~/.bash_profile
       source ~/.bash_profile
   

4. write some code and build it read the tut's

       go build [...]
   

5. think some more ... lets change that bit in ~/.bash_profile

       alias gorun="docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp golang "
       alias go="gorun go "
   

6. now run that app you compiled

       gorun ./myapp
   

7. consider what you have just achieved .. maybe delete go completely, or install it properly .. either way, you just ran a compiler in a container, without polluting your pristine local machine

       # recover that disk space by removing the golang image
       docker rmi golang
   

8. you may well have a compiled binary in the directory with your go code ... it probably wont run directly on local so rm that

Thats all enjoy ... and bye

PS ... remember to remove those aliases from ~/.bash_profile when you are done
