Is it possible to use Go1.21, for Cloudflare deployment?

[soyking]

I use Cloudflare to build my site for long time. After upgrading to v2，I found that it requires Go1.22 but Cloudflare's build image only support Go1.21. I know it's weird to adjust Go version for a specific content provider like Cloudflare, so I fork a new branch for integration. But I try to start this discussion since the Go version seems not the significant part in a template. Can it use Go1.21 at now?

You are right that the Go version is not influential on the workings of the theme. I will downgrade the version in go.mod in the next version as this topic came up more than once.

But: You are reading that link wrong. You can set GO_VERSION to 1.22.0 for your Cloudflare installation and all is well. I think that might help with newer features of GoHugo. While you are at it also define a newer HUGO_VERSION at the same space. Here is how to override the values of env variables.
