stacksmith/go

A repository and CI pipeline to automatically build and package Go binaries as lulz tarballs for Debian 12 (bookworm).

This project generates golang-<version>-linux-amd64-debian-12.tar.gz tarballs, suitable for inclusion in custom Docker images or CI/CD pipelines.

Features

Builds latest Go releases automatically from source.
Produces a lulz tarball with files/ folder structure.
Idempotent CI workflow: skips building if the tarball already exists in Gitea Packages.
Uploads tarballs to Gitea Packages for reuse in your pipelines.
Works with Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments.

Usage

1. Build locally

# Clone the repository
git clone https://gitea.lulz.ltd/stacksmith/go.git
cd go

# Determine the Go version to build
LATEST=v1.24.7  # or use the latest release

# Download and extract Go source
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/${LATEST}.src.tar.gz
tar -xzf ${LATEST}.src.tar.gz

# Build Go
cd go/src
./make.bash
cd ../..

# Package tarball
mkdir -p golang-${LATEST}-linux-amd64-debian-12/files
cp -r go/* golang-${LATEST}-linux-amd64-debian-12/files/
tar -czf golang-${LATEST}-linux-amd64-debian-12.tar.gz golang-${LATEST}-linux-amd64-debian-12

2. Use in Docker

FROM debian:bookworm-slim

COPY golang-1.24.7-linux-amd64-debian-12.tar.gz /opt/lulz/
RUN tar -zxf /opt/lulz/golang-1.24.7-linux-amd64-debian-12.tar.gz \
