How to deploy Golang applications in different environments

1. Introduction

Golang is an open source programming language. Due to its simplicity, efficiency, and good concurrency performance, it has gradually become one of the languages ​​that has attracted much attention in back-end development. In this article, we will discuss how to deploy Golang applications in different environments.

2. Installing Golang

To deploy Golang applications on your computer, you first need to install Golang. Installing Golang is simple, just download the executable file from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/) and extract it to your computer. Here, I will take the Linux system as an example to explain.

The official website provides multiple versions of Golang for download. You can choose the latest version or other versions according to your needs. After the download is complete, you can run the following command to decompress it to your computer:

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.17.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz

After decompression is complete, you need to add Golang to your environment variables. First, open your bashrc file:

vi ~/.bashrc

At the bottom of the file, add the following lines:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Execute the source command to update the bashrc file:

source ~/.bashrc

In this way, you Golang has been successfully installed and added to your environment variables.

3. Developing Golang applications

After Golang is installed in your computer, you can start developing Golang applications. Here we will create a simple "Hello World" application in order to test whether our Golang installation is working properly.

First, create a file named "hello.go" with the following code:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
}

After saving the file, you can execute the following commands in the terminal to compile and run the application :

go run hello.go

If everything goes well, you should see the "Hello, World!" output in the terminal.

4. Deploying Golang Application

After completing the development of the Golang application, the next task is to deploy it to different environments. Here, I will introduce methods to deploy Golang applications in Linux and Docker containers.

4.1 Deploying to Linux

Deploying a Golang application to a Linux machine is very simple, you just need to copy the source code to the target machine and compile the application on the target machine.

First, copy the source code to the target machine, you can use the scp command:

scp hello.go user@ip:/path/to/target

Then, on the target machine, switch to the source code directory and execute the following command:

go build

This will build an executable file that you can run in the terminal using the following command:

./hello

If you want to run the program as a background process, you can use the following command:

nohup ./hello &

In this way, you have successfully deployed the Golang application to the Linux environment.

4.2 Deploying to Docker container

Deploying Golang applications to Docker containers is simple and convenient. First, you need to prepare a base image on which to build the environment required for your application.

Here, we can use the official Golang image. First, pull the image:

docker pull golang

Then, you can use the image to create a container and copy the source code into the container:

docker run -d --name my_golang_app -v /path/to/source:/go/src/app golang
docker cp ./hello.go my_golang_app:/go/src/app

Switch to the container and execute the following command To build the application:

docker exec -it my_golang_app /bin/sh
cd /go/src/app
go build

This will build the Golang application in the container and generate an executable named "hello" under the "/go/src/app" directory. You can use the following command to run it:

./hello

If you want to run the program as a background process, you can use the following command:

nohup ./hello >/dev/null &

Now, you have successfully deployed the Golang application to in a Docker container.

5. Summary

In this article, we discussed how to deploy Golang applications in different environments. We first learned how to install Golang and then wrote and ran a simple Golang application. Finally, we covered how to deploy Golang applications into Linux and Docker containers.

In actual application deployment, more complex problems and challenges may be encountered. However, if you master the basic concepts and skills presented in this article, you should be able to solve these problems more easily. Happy studying!
