Go Development Environment 🚀

Go development environment configured on host, in a ubuntu container or in a weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu MicroVM image.

Setup

Edit [scripts/go-dev-env.conf](https://github.com/nolancon/go-dev-env/blob/master/scripts/go-dev-env.conf) with desired parameters before executing any of the options below.

IMPORTANT: Set correct git credentials

Host (Bare Metal or VM) 💻

Run make local to configure your environment with the following (suitable for Bare Metal or VM):

• go environment configured with desired version
• git configured with user credentials
• vim updated to desired version (8.1 by default - compatible with vim-go)
• vim-go plugin enabled for Vim (edit utils/vimrc for other plugins)
• docker desired version installed
• kubectl desired version installed
• operator-sdk desired version installed
• .bashrc applied (edit utils/bashrc to customise and add aliases etc)
• Github repos specified in go-dev-env.conf cloned locally to GOPATH
• firecracker installed
• ignite installed

Docker Container 🧰 or Ignite MicroVM 🔥

Run make build-docker to build a ubuntu docker image with the following: Run make build-docker to build a weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu MicroVM image with the following:

• go environment configured with desired version
• git configured with user credentials
• vim updated to desired version (8.1 by default - compatible with vim-go)
• vim-go plugin enabled for Vim (edit utils/vimrc for other plugins)
• docker desired version installed (CLI only)
  • CLI is installed and connects to host Docker daemon. Therefore containers created from within go-dev-env container become sibling containers and not child containers.
• kubectl desired version installed
  • ~/.kube directory is mounted from the host to the go-dev-env container, therefore kubectl commands from within the container interact with the host's K8s API.
• operator-sdk desired version installed
• .bashrc applied (edit utils/bashrc to customise and add aliases etc)
• Github repos specified in go-dev-env.conf cloned locally to GOPATH

Deploy Docker Container

make deploy

Deploy Ignite MicroVM

Note the image is >4GB so 6GB micro VM is created to facilitate

ignite run nolancon/ignite-go-dev-env \
  --name my-vm \
  --cpus 2 \
  --memory 1GB \
  --size 6GB \
  --ssh
