GoProd - Let's go live on production!

GoProd is a simple tool that let you package your Golang app in seconds!

Usage

$ goprod \
     -combo="linux/arm;linux/i386;linux/arm64;linux/amd64;windows/amd64;windows/i386" \
     -builddir="build" \
     -tags="gui"

Installation

To install from source: go run main.go -binname="goprod" -combo="$(go env GOOS)/$(go env GOARCH)" && apt install ./build/deb/goprod*.deb

To get a prebuild binary:

# wget 'https://static.mrcyjanek.net/abstruse/apt-repository/mrcyjanek-repo/mrcyjanek-repo_2.0-1_all.deb' && \
  apt install ./mrcyjanek-repo_2.0-1_all.deb && \
  rm ./mrcyjanek-repo_2.0-1_all.deb && \
  apt update \
  apt install goprod

Advanced Usage

Goprod exist because I want to package my programs with ease, and I expect thhem to 'just work', I don't care about proper debian packaging (well I do - but not here.). Here are all possible options

You can build and package for:

• Android (.apk)
• Debian (.deb)
• MacOS (partial, .zip)
• Windows (aka portable exe)
• Ubuntu Touch (.click)
• Flatpak
• Sailfish OS

I generally recommend you using the docker image if you have some CI/CD solution installed (btw you should use Abstruse). If you want to run something on your machine just for development - then grab a copy of gcc and g++ and checkinstall, and make sure that /bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ is a symlink to your gcc, on debian it's automatic (afaik) but on arch I had to do that manually. So keep this in mind when something goes wrong with GCC.

Reference app

For an reference app check out magnetgraph I use goprod to package it

Preparing

You need to install depedencies, for debian check docker/ for an up-to-date list of all depedencies (you usually don't need all of them, unless you deploy from the machine on which you work.)

So list of required things:

• To compile native pure-go apps: golang
• To compile (native) apps that require c/c++ stuff: gcc and g++
  • To compile apps for the adware os: gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-win32 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-win32
  • To compile apps for the bloarware os:
    • This is actually the hard path, but chill - we can handle that for you:
    • goprod update-ndk - this command will update (if required) the ndk and place it by default in ~/Android/Sdk/ndk
      This will also download commandline tools and place it by default in ~/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/
    • goprod accept-license will accept the sdk licenses, so you will be able to compile things for android.
    • To package for android default-jre is required.

goprod is accessible there as a command, together with everything configured, except for your email - you may want to do git config user.email [email protected] and git config user.name "Your Name", because this name and email is used to package debian package.

A word about docker

There are a couple of docker images available, and if you feel bad about using the public docker registry - make docker:

• mrcyjanek/goprod:core
  This is the smallest image - it only contain goprod executable, and (sometimes) not it's up to date version (it's a cached version from my apt, in the other versions it is getting updated by compiling what's in this repo). It's used to build other docker images.
  It's fine to use it for darwin builds afaik, but I didn't really test it.
• mrcyjanek/goprod:nodejs
  This is like core but with nodejs installed. Why? Sometimes you may want to use some nodejs thing to build frontend, that's why.
• mrcyjanek/goprod:core-android
  This image contain things to build stuff for android, that include android ndk, sdk, java and an emulator.
• mrcyjanek/goprod:nodejs-android
  Same as above but with nodejs
• mrcyjanek/goprod:core-linux
  This image contain all the things required for linux (cross) compiling and packaging.
• mrcyjanek/goprod:nodejs-linux
  Same as above but with nodejs
• mrcyjanek/goprod:core-windows
  This image contain 32 and 64bit mingw for cross compiling.
• mrcyjanek/goprod:nodejs-windows
  same as above but with nodejs
