Run App Locally

You'll need to have go installed in your system to run the app with this method.

1. cd to the app directory
2. Don't forget to add your environment variables (copy .env.sample to .env file and modify)
3. Run following command on your terminal

go run main.go

OR alternatively,

go build -o main . && ./main

Run App with Docker

Alternatively, you can also run the app using docker. The Dockerfile is already present in the project.

docker run --rm -it $(docker build -q .)

Alternative, you can also build an image with a tag (to run later without building again)

docker build -t <TAG_NAME> .

and run it

docker run -d <TAG_NAME>

Don't forget to replace <TAG_NAME> with the name of your choice.

Run app with hot-reload

You need to install air for hot-reload support. Follow their documentation to install in on your system. Once it is installed, just run this command:

air
