Deploy Go
to Amazon Web Services (AWS) VMs.

# Create the virtual server using the CLI
vxcli vm create \
  --name web-instance \
  --cloud aws --region us-east-1 --instance-type t3.medium \
  --key-pair-name PRODKEY1

# Save public IP address for deployment
export HOST_IP=<public-ip-from-output>

# Ensure you have a valid go.mod in your root directory.
# Below is the typical Dockerfile compiled by our template runner:

FROM golang:1.22-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download
COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -o main .

FROM alpine:latest
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/main .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["./main"]

# Trigger the container build and establish reverse proxy routes
vxcli deploy go \
  --source-dir ./ \
  --app-name web-app \
  --http-port 80 \
  --app-port 8080 \
  --env PORT=8080 \
  --env DATABASE_URL=postgres://... \
  --enable-ssl \
  --domain app.example.com \
  --ssl-email [email protected] \
  --host $HOST_IP --ssh-user ubuntu --key-pair-name PRODKEY1

# app.example.com is now live with automated Let's Encrypt SSL.
