Golang development images

Description

The ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang package hosts Docker images tailored for seamless local development environments using VSCode's devcontainer feature. Each image is preconfigured with the essential components required for Go programming, ensuring a hassle-free setup process for developers. These images are also suitable for integration into CI/CD pipelines.

Supported Go Versions

Images are built for the latest four supported Go versions:

• Go 1.27
• Go 1.26
• Go 1.25
• Go 1.24

Go 1.23 and earlier are no longer built or maintained by this repository.

Contents

Contained within this repository are Docker images equipped with:

• Go Programming Environment: Pre-installed Go language tools and dependencies for efficient development.
• VSCode Devcontainer Setup: Configured settings and dependencies to facilitate integration with Visual Studio Code's devcontainer feature.
• Additional Utilities: Optional add-ons or tools that enhance the development workflow for Go projects.
• AI Coding Assistants: Dedicated claude and codex image targets with the corresponding command-line tools pre-installed.

Usage Instructions

You can utilize these Docker images for your VSCode devcontainer setup, here you can find a skeleton of an already configured project that uses these images.

The images are public and can be pulled from GitHub Container Registry without authentication:

docker pull ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:1.27-bookworm-dev

Tags follow this pattern:

• ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:<go-version>-bookworm-base
• ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:<go-version>-bookworm-sam
• ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:<go-version>-bookworm-dev
• ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:<go-version>-bookworm-claude
• ghcr.io/marcodellorto/golang:<go-version>-bookworm-codex

Project images previously published to Docker Hub are no longer updated there. The build workflow still authenticates to Docker Hub to pull the upstream images used as build stages.
