If your go-micro options just don't seem to work, try this approach.

create-micro-service.go

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/micro/go-micro"
	_ "github.com/micro/go-micro/broker"
	"github.com/micro/go-micro/server"
	brokerNats "github.com/micro/go-plugins/broker/nats"
	transportNats "github.com/micro/go-plugins/transport/nats"
)

func createService(name string) (ret micro.Service) {
	ttl := time.Second * 30
	t := transportNats.NewTransport()
	b := brokerNats.NewBroker()

	opts := []micro.Option{}

	opts = append(opts, micro.Name(name))
	opts = append(opts, micro.RegisterTTL(ttl))
	opts = append(opts, micro.RegisterInterval(time.Second*10))
	opts = append(opts, micro.Transport(t))
	opts = append(opts, micro.Broker(b))

	opts = append(opts, micro.Server(server.NewServer(
		server.Name(name),
		server.Transport(t),
		server.Broker(b),
		server.RegisterTTL(ttl),
		// In case of HTTP: server.Address(":"+fmt.Sprint(port)),
	)))

	ret = micro.NewService(opts...)

	ret.Init()

	return
}
