Hi friends, great library! We're finding it very useful. However, we're sorta stuck on v1.3.3 because the directory layout doesn't follow the normal Go module version guidelines. Trying to pull a recent version fails:

> go get github.com/buchgr/bazel-remote@v2.4.0
go: github.com/buchgr/bazel-remote@v2.4.0: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so module path must match major version ("github.com/buchgr/bazel-remote/v2")

Thanks!
Scott

Hi, bazel-remote isn't intended to be used as a library (though I have heard of people trying), and the "official" way to build it is with bazel, which "go get" doesn't support. Do you actually need to consume parts of bazel-remote as a library, or are you just trying to get a binary?

dragonsinth commented

I'm actually trying to use it as a library, since it has a pretty nice clean interface. I'm bundling it into a service that also includes other sorts of network-accessible caches and proxies. (And in my case, it's easier to deploy as part of internal application framework, where I get things like logging and metrics and monitoring for free.)

I'll need to do some research on go modules then (perhaps next week). I wonder if moving all the code except main.go into a v2/ directory with its own go.mod file would work...

dragonsinth commented

It might be possible to just change the module declaration? Example I found: https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-go/blob/main/go.mod -- this package is imported as github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-go/v2 and works just fine.

Assuming there's no need to maintain 1.x releases going forward, this might be easiest.

I'm running into this same issue. I want to build my own version of bazel-remote with a custom cache implementation.

Sorry it took me a while to get around to this. Would something like this work? #646

(Note that I provide no guarantees on the stability or backwards compatibility of these packages.)

I would love to hear more about how you're using bazel-remote (or parts of it). Just curious- maybe it's something worth upstreaming?

dragonsinth commented

Seems like that would work #646 (comment)

I'm putting together a caching proxy for a self-hosted CI that can handle multiple languages/tools, such as bazel, npm, go, python, etc. We sort of have our own "service rails" that make it easy to deploy self-built Go services.

I made a 2.4.1 release with this change- does it work for you now?

dragonsinth commented

Seems to work, thank you!!
