Web-Serve

Procedure

• Generate your production build through npm run build (for eg.) or any appropiate way.
• Place the build directory inside html directory replacing the existing one.
• Update the configuration in conf.yml if required. The YAML is self explanatory.
• Build the binary.

# Required go version 1.16 or higher
export GO111MODULE=on
go build -o <output binary name> main.go

• Run the binary by ./<binary_name>

Build the Binary using Docker

Now no hassle of installing dependencies to build the binary. FYI, I can't provide ready to use built binary for diferrent platforms as the web build assets is going to be embedded into the binary during compile time.

But be assured, i have provided a very easy way to resolve the issue. Just run these commands,

# build the docker image
docker build -t web-serve . 

# Running the build
docker run -v $(pwd):/web-serve -e OS="linux" -e ARCH="amd64" -e BIN_NAME="your binary name" web-serve

# Change ownership of the binary directory from root to host user
sudo chown -R $(id -u) binary

As binaries are platform dependent, you have to mention the Operating system and processor instruction Architecture via environment variables OS and ARCH respectively. A binary will be created at binary/ dorectory of current working directory. The environment variable BIN_NAME (Optional) is the name of the output binary.

A list of supported OS and Architecture has been made available here. Just replace it with the environment variable OS and ARCH during docker run.
