DB migrations

Config Template Example

# <appname> configuration
# Generated on first run. Edit as needed.

server:
  port: 8080

database:
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  user: ""
  password: ""
  dbname: ""

First-Run Behavior

Start
  -> config missing
  -> create directory
  -> write template
  -> print config path
  -> exit 0

Expected message:

Config created: ~/.config/<appname>/config.yaml
Edit the file and restart the application.

Build Examples

Without CGO:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o bin/<appname> ./cmd/<appname>

With CGO where required:

CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o bin/<appname> ./cmd/<appname>
