Gofile is an alternative way to package a Go binary into a minimal container image without using a Dockerfile.
This is purely a fun project to help me learn more about BuildKit its features.
It's pretty much similar to the gockerfile project but maybe I'll add some extra features in the future, who knows.
Create a Gofile.yaml file indicating the Git repository, the path, and the Git ref where the Go application is located.
#syntax=felipecruz/gofile
repo: https://github.com/dockersamples/helloworld-go-demo
path: .
ref: main
scratch: true # Use scratch image as base with CA certs, otherwise defaults to alpineOr to build a Go binary from a local directory:
path: ./example/demo
scratch: trueBuild the image:
docker build -t felipecruz/gofile-demo -f Gofile.yaml .Check the image size:
docker image ls felipecruz/gofile-demo
