在docker中使用gitlab私有仓库作为golang依赖

Question

I am mirroring a popular go library in my organizations gitlab's group (for redundancy).

In my code I have: import ( "gitlab.com/org/group/library.git" )

I used this answer for guidance on using go get with a private repository. On my machine go get ./... works because I configured git using the following command:

$ git config --global [e-mail]:.insteadOf https://gitlab.com/

When I try to build a docker container the command RUN go get ./... fails with the following output:

package gitlab.com/org/group/library.git: cannot download, git://gitlab.com/org/group/library uses insecure protocol

It seems the popular answer from a similar thread or this article is to do something like upload your ssh keys to the docker container. I don't really feel comfortable with that because I don't exactly understand what is doing, or the security implications.

Any insight on how to properly configure my dockerfile or my golang work flow would be of great assistance.

Answer 1

It appears that golang v1.11 includes modules.

To quote the source

A module is a collection of related Go packages that are versioned together as a single unit. Most often, a single version-control repository corresponds exactly to a single module.

Using the latest version of golang along with modules allows me to use all of my dependencies.
