Please add windows builds

[withinboredom]

This way, us Windows peoples can be lazy like the OSX peoples and not have to build things from scratch.

Check out appveyor if you need a free environment to build the releases.

Thank you!

Or at least proper instructions for windows users with concrete build steps) Though build is better of course.

I have built rocker for Windows with:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -e GOPATH=/usr/src/myapp -e GOOS=windows -e GOARCH=amd64 -e GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 golang:1.6 go get -v github.com/grammarly/rocker

then in ./bin/windows_amd64/ I've got rocker.exe.

Before running, the env variable must be set to let rocker connect to docker, in my case (Windows 10 x64, Docker on Hyper-V) it is:

DOCKER_HOST="tcp://localhost:2375"

However, I experience issues with file paths on Windows. First, the cache directory is "~/.rocker_cache" by default, so it must be manually set on "rocker build" calls with "--cache-dir" option. Next, on building, rocker tries to create directories named like "sha256:0584ab3..." - the colon is not acceptable in Windows paths. This is where I am with this topic. The colon problem should probably be solved in the sources of rocker.

Maybe it helps and someone goes further.

Even though I am on MacOS, some of my colleges use Windows. To use Rocker as a development tool within our company, platform independence is crucial.

@matleh I advice to use "Ubuntu bash for windows" for web dev on windows. You can install docker client there and it will interact with docker for windows host.

Thanks for requesting. Unfortunately, we are discontinuing this project. See the notice here: https://github.com/grammarly/rocker/blob/master/README.md

Closing this issue as we are not able to implement it. Sorry.
