How to deploy a Go application to Bluemix?

Question

I am using Bluemix to run app, I can deploy Java app to Bluemix, does anyone know how to deploy a Go App to Bluemix?

Answer 1

Actually, Bluemix now includes the Cloud Foundry Go buildpack https://github.com/cloudfoundry/go-buildpack in its catalog. Hence, it should be unnecessary to resort to use of the BYOB feature.

API endpoint: https://api.ng.bluemix.net (API version: 2.19.0)

Answer 2

Just to be clear the full command would be the following.

cf push appname -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/go-buildpack.git

Answer 3

Issue the following command with the -b option to deploy your application with your own buildpack, in which buildpack_URL is the URL of the buildpack:

$ cf push app_name -b buildpack_URL

More specifically

cf push app_name -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/go-buildpack.git

more info is below:

https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#starters/byob.html.

Answer 4

You have to include "-b" option while pushing your go app on Bluemix cloud.

cf push app_name -b buildpack_URL

For any other types of app, you can refer below link for pushing app on bluemix:

https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#starters/byob.html.

Answer 5

You can deploy a Go application to Bluemix, but need to supply -b with the Go Buildpack URL.

There is a sample application you can take a look: https://github.com/acostry/Go-on-Bluemix

Answer 6

You need to use a custom buildpack to deploy a Go web application. So, login to your cloud and run the cf command below from the root folder of your application:

cf push appname -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cloudfoundry-buildpack-go
