This repository is a code example written in Go. You can clone it and deploy it on Clever Cloud following these steps.
See an app demo here.
NB: alternatively, this can be a reference for deploying your own code on a remote server. You'll need a Clever Cloud account to deploy on the platform.
This few steps will guide you into deploying this app within minutes.
- Fork or clone this repository
- On Clever Cloud, go to create > an app choose your forked repo from GitHub or new app if you deploy using Git.
- Choose GO and follow the next steps. You don't need any addon.
Environment variables are injected dynamically on Clever Cloud. To deploy a Go app, the runtime will need a few instructions to know how to deploy you app.
At the Environment variables step, add the variable name CC_GO_BUILD_TOOL with value gobuild.
Wait until the deployment is completed if you are deploying from GitHub, or copy paste the command from the Console to push the code if you are suning Git.
This repository has already been configured for deployment. Here's how, so you can fix issues on your own code.
Notice this part of the code in main.go:
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", indexPage)
//Clever Cloud applications must listen on port 8080
http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:8080", nil)
}This is how you configure your app to listen to the wild network 0.0.0.0, not only localhost or 127.0.0.1.
For projects that don't support go modules, go build will be used. To use it on Clever Cloud, you use gobuild. We will then deploy your project in a classic GOPATH hierarchy using go build. You can use other Go commands using the CC_GO_BUILD_TOOL variable environment.
By default, Clever Cloud will look for a main.go file containing the code to run. If you want to name it differentely, you'll need to set the CC_GO_PKG environment variable with the main file of your application as value.
You can find more instructions on Go application configuration in our Go documentation.
