This is simply the wrong way to dockerize go apps. Like, exactly how you should NOT do it. Go programs have the benefit of being a single dependency-less executable (if no cgo is used), meaning they can (and should be) run in a container made from scratch barely larger than the binary itself. Your image size is beyond 700 MB for a simple hello world app. This is ridiculous - not even my full blown Python apps bundle into such big images. The docker image is made for building your app in multi-stage docker builds. There's literally no downside of building an golang image correctly, even for testing.

This may be one of the clearer and most informative video ever in the programming sphere. Your explanation are top-notch, the editing is good and the pace is perfect. Thanky ou so much for this, this is exactly what I needed. Instantly subscribed.

Well done. Beginners like myself are well served by this.

I went through 5 different docker beginner videos. this by far is the BEST. concise, to the point and gets the job done. THANK YOU!!

[jonahbutler]

Worked like a charm. :) Thanks for the straight ahead lesson and insights!

Can you maybe make a video on how to run it with docker compose without installing go locally and developing inside container ?

[PhanorColl]

it would be great to see a video of a complete CI/CD pipeline with docker go .. Great video BTW

[annusingh]

Excellent video, fast paced with lots of info

[brychanmd]

Why not copy whole working directory instead of just main.go and go.mod?

Please what exetensions are you using to send request

[satotakeru]

why did you execute go get on your local machine?

[lange]

Thanks a lot!

What if im using an external api like OpenWeatherApi to create a simple cli app. Is there anything I have to do different in my docker file to take the api key into account?

[rakeshojha]

hi your videos are great, can you please make a video where you can load a config from viper and dockerise it.

[thechaoslp]

What's the plugin for sending the http requests?

[brandon_wallace]

Very nice video. Why did you not put EXPOSE 8080 in the Dockerfile?

[axMfqTI]

Why would I copy the source files to the container and not the compiled app?

[MR-list]

So many ads. I watched 30 second ads, and then 5 seconds into the video, another 30 seconds ads came up 😡

I was expecting more of dockerizig go-app+mongo dockerization. This way dockerizing is of no good.
