So, I am trying to dockerize a golang application with different directories containing supplementary code for my main file. I am using gorilla/mux. The directory structure looks like this.
$GOPATH/src/github.com/user/server
|--- Dockerfile
|--- main.go
|--- routes/
handlers.go
|--- public/
index.gohtml
It works on my host machine with no problem. The problem is that when I try to deploy the docker image it does not run and exits shortly after creation. I have tried changing the WORKDIR command in my dockerfile to /go/src and dump all my files there, but still no luck. I have also tried the official documentation on docker hub. Doesn't work either.
My Dockerfile.
FROM golang:latest
WORKDIR /go/src/github.com/user/server
COPY . .
RUN go get -d github.com/gorilla/mux
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["go","run","main.go"]
My golang main.go
package main
import (
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
"github.com/user/server/routes"
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
)
func main(){
//...
}
I get this error message when I check the logs of my docker image.
Error Message
