Cloud Gox

A Go (golang) Cross-Compiler in the cloud

• Uses latest Go
• Embedded realtime front-end
• Automatic multi-platform Github releases
• Compile your favourite command-line tools from the browser

Demo

Install

Binaries

See the latest release

Source

$ go get -v github.com/jpillora/cloud-gox

Deploy

1. Click this button to deploy cloud-gox for free on Heroku

   

2. Optionally add HTTP authentication

3. Optionally add your Github authentication

   Github web-hooks sent from the specified user to cloud-gox will create a new Github release inside the source repository for specified tag and then each of the compiled binaries will be uploaded as release assets. Once you've set GH_USER/GH_PASS or GH_TOKEN environment variables, you can setup any of your repositories for automatic releases:

   1. Go to https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/settings/hooks
   2. Click the Add Webhook button
   3. Set the Payload URL to http://<cloud-gox-location>/hook (see optional params below)
   4. Again, click the Add Webhook button
   5. Now, pushing git tags will trigger a new release and your app will be cross-compiled and uploaded to Github

   You can customize your web-hook using query parameters (e.g. /hook?foo=bar). You can set:

   • a versionvar parameter to change the ldflags variable (defaults to main.VERSION)
   • a osarch parameter which provides a comma separated list of build platforms, each platform must be in the form os/arch
   • a target parameter which provides a comma separated list of each command-line tool within your package (e.g. target=cmd/foo will build <repo>/cmd/foo)

Todo

• Run parallel builds
• Verify Github signed web-hooks

Notes

I've forked Heroku's Go buildpack in order to keep the local copy of the Go tools (Heroku's version keeps them only in the build cache).
