Proof of concept of a notification server for Pillar, written in Go.
Note there is golang in Ubuntu but it is not up to date. An up-to-date version may be found at ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable. Try this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install golang
That is all you need to get go working on your system. (You can use go env GOROOT to be sure
where the Go files are, if you're curious.) Don't forget to create your GOPATH.
The HTTP proxy code originated at Fabio.
