How to run golang using docker?

May 30, 2022

I’m trying to use docker with go lang & PostgreSQL

I have this structure for the project:

-project_name
   - src
     - app
     - config
     - main.go
     - .env
     - docker-compose.yml 
     - Dockerfile

the docker-compose.yml file contains ( I need GO server & PostgreSQL)

version: '3.9'
services:
  app:
    container_name: logger_app
    build: ..
    ports:
      - "12000:12000"
    restart: on-failure
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    networks:
      - MYAPP

  postgres:
    image: postgres:latest
    container_name: postgres_db
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=${DB_USER}
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
      - POSTGRES_DB=${DB_NAME}
      - DATABASE_HOST=${DB_HOST}
    ports:
      - '5432:5432'
    networks:
      - MYAPP

networks:
  MYAPP:
    driver: bridge

The Dockerfile contains:

FROM golang:1.18 as builder

RUN mkdir /app
WORKDIR /app

COPY . .

RUN go get -d -v ./...

RUN go install -v ./...


RUN go build -o /build

EXPOSE 12000

CMD [ "/build" ]

when I run docker-compose up –build I got this error:

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount868285600/Dockerfile: no such file or directory
ERROR: Service 'app' failed to build : Build failed
