"hello world" web server application in go for show autoreload functionality within Docker.
A script is installed in the Docker container that utilizes
inotifywait and watches
for the specified file changes. The example in this repo watches for *.go file changes.
If you want to watch files in subdirectories, you'll need to configure for something like:
./*.go ./**/*.go ./**/**/*.go. Sadly, inotifywait can't recursively watch
specific file extensions.
Build the docker image:
make build
Run the go webserver:
make start
Autoreload script takes the following parameters:
./autoreload.sh [output_filename] [files to watch]
