Hosting Golang with Mysql

To host Golang on Container Hosting and connect to the Mysql database from it, you need to complete the following three steps.

1. Installing the project management utility

If your project files are in a Git repository, then installing the utility is not necessary, since you can run the project from the browser.

If you have installed the conhos utility earlier, then simply proceed to the next step. If you have not installed it, then use the Instructions to install it.

2. Creating a configuration file

If your project files are in a Git repository, you can create a configuration file from your browser.

Configuration file for creating a Golang service in Container Hosting with a Mysql database server running and connecting to it from an application, and an optional example of updating Adminer to administer the database. More details in the Configuration File.

Check the current version of the Mysql container in the official Mysql repository

name: my-golang-mysql-project
services:
  golang1:
    image: golang
    size: mili
    active: true
    version: ${{VERSION}}
    pwd: examples/golang-mysql
    exclude:
      - vendor
    command: go build -o main && ./main
    ports:
      - port: 3000
        type: proxy
    depends_on: # The service should only start after the following services
      - mysql0 # mysql0 service
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
      # Next we forward the connection variables
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=value0
      - MYSQL_USER=value1
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=value2
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=value3
  postgres0:
    type: mysql
    size: mili
    active: true
    version: latest
    environment:
      # Variables for initializing the database
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=value0
      - MYSQL_USER=value1
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=value2
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=value3

The database host will be accessible in the application container via the environment variable [SERVICE_NAME]_HOST, for example for the service mysql0 the name of the host variable inside the container that references this service via depends_on will be MYSQL0_HOST

3. Launching a project in the cloud

To upload files to the cloud and run services in containers, run the command:

conhos deploy
