# GocustomUrls
|
|
|
|
This is a homespun implementation of the practice of [using custom import paths for go modules](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths).
|
|
|
|
This package basically returns a html document with a prefilled meta tag
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<meta name="go-import" content="{package} git {url location of the package}">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are ways to do this with [nginx](https://www.nirenjan.com/2019/golang-vanity-urls-in-nginx/) or [hugo](https://blog.jbowen.dev/2020/07/using-go-vanity-urls-with-hugo/) but I wanted to:
|
|
|
|
* host on a subdomain
|
|
* not muck up my ngnix config
|
|
|
|
So I used golang for this project.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
You can test with
|
|
|
|
(a) [httpie](https://httpie.io/)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ http --body "https://{domain.name}/{package}?go-get=1"
|
|
...truncated output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(b) With the go-get command
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ go get -v -u jbowen.dev/cereal
|
|
get "jbowen.dev/cereal": found meta tag get.metaImport{Prefix:"jbowen.dev/cereal", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://github.com/jamesbo13/cereal"} at //jbowen.dev/cereal?go-get=1
|
|
jbowen.dev/cereal (download)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODOs
|
|
|
|
* [x] Fix permission errors around opening the app.log and rules.json.
|
|
* [x] Make the flags (config, rules) required instead of optional.
|
|
* [ ] Figure how to use logrotate (a linux utility) |
