Chapter 5. Container images with Go Toolset

You can build your own Go Toolset containers from either Red Hat Enterprise Linux container images or Red Hat Universal Base Images (UBI).

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 container images of Go Toolset contain the following packages:

Go

1.17

RHEL 7 — go-toolset-1.17.7 RHEL 8 — go-toolset-1.17.7 RHEL 9 — go-toolset-1.17.7

Pull the container image from the Red Hat registry before running your container and performing actions.

Procedure

To pull the required image, run:

  • For an image based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7: 

    # podman pull registry.redhat.io/devtools/go-toolset-rhel7
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • For an image based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8: 

    # podman pull registry.redhat.io/rhel8/go-toolset
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • For an image based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9: 

    # podman pull registry.redhat.io/rhel9/go-toolset
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

On RHEL 8, install the UBI Go Toolset container image to access Go Toolset.
Alternatively, you can install Go Toolset to the RHEL 8 base UBI container image. For further information, see Accessing Go Toolset from the base UBI container image on RHEL 8.

Procedure

To pull the UBI Go Toolset container image from the Red Hat registry, run: 

# podman pull registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/go-toolset
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

On RHEL 8, Go Toolset packages are part of the Red Hat Universal Base Images (UBIs) repositories, which means you can install Go Toolset as an addition to the base UBI container image. To keep the container image size small, install only individual packages instead of the entire Go Toolset.
Alternatively, you can install the UBI Go Toolset container image to access Go Toolset. For further information, see Accessing the UBI Go Toolset container image on RHEL 8.

Prerequisites

  • An existing Containerfile.
    For information on creating Containerfiles, see the Dockerfile reference page.

Procedure

  • To create a container image containing Go Toolset, add the following lines to your Containerfile: 
FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi:latest

RUN yum module install -y go-toolset
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • To create a container image containing an individual package only, add the following lines to your Containerfile: 

    RUN yum install -y <package-name>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    • Replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to install.

You can use the Go Toolset container image as a Source-to-Image (S2I) builder image on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Procedure

  1. Set the IMPORT_URL variable to a URL specifying the location of your code.
  2. To build your S2I builder image, run the s2i build command.
Note

If the main package location is not identical with the location specified by the IMPORT_URL variable, set the INSTALL_URL variable to a URL that specifies the package location providing the application’s main executable file when built.
