Ed's starting Go server with live reload that deploys to Fly.io and Render

A minimal Go application for fly.io Getting Started documentation and tutorials.

Deployment

Fly.io

  1. clone this repo
  2. flyctl launch to launch the app on fly.io for the first time
  3. flyctl deploy to deploy the app to fly.io after the first launch
  4. flyctl open to open the app in your browser
  5. flyctl logs to see the logs
  6. flyctl rsync to sync files to the fly.io app
  7. view the deployed app with flyctl open

Render.com

  1. clone this repo
  2. Just push to the master branch to deploy to Render.com
  3. You can do pull request deploys to Render.com by creating a new branch and pushing to it too

Development

In one terminal, run this to start the server:

air app.go

Air will do live-reload of the Go server on file changes

In another terminal (split terminal), run this to have automatic live reload in the browser:

browser-sync start --proxy "127.0.0.1:8080" --files "templates/*.tmpl" --reloadDelay 2000 --no-open --no-notify

The reloadDelay is to avoid browser-sync from reloading the page too quickly while air is rebuilding the Go app.

You don't have to do the browser-sync bit if you're happy to manually refresh the page.s
