Linked Data server for Go, based on initial work done by William Waites.
sudo docker pull linkeddata/gold
sudo docker run -p ip:port:443 linkeddata/gold
Replace ip and port with your host computer's IP address and port number.
To check the status of the container, type:
sudo docker ps
IMPORTANT: if you want to mount a host directory into the container, you can use the -v parameter:
sudo docker run -p ip:port:443 -v /home/user/data:/data linkeddata/gold
This will mount the host directory, /home/user/data, into the container as the /data/ directory. Doing this will allow you to reuse the data directory without worrying about persistence inside the container.
Setup Go + dependencies:
# on OSX eg.
brew install go raptor libmagic
# on Ubuntu eg.
sudo apt-get install golang-go libraptor2-dev libmagic-dev
mkdir ~/go; export GOPATH=~/go
go version
IMPORTANT: Please check that you have at least Go version 1.4 installed. If you don't, please consider installing a more recent version.
Use the go get command to install the server and all the dependencies:
go get github.com/linkeddata/gold/server
Optionally, you can install some extra dependencies used by the tests:
go get github.com/stretchr/testify/assert
Run the server:
cd ~/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/server && go install
~/go/bin/server -https=":8443" -root=/home/user/data/ -debug
Alternatively, you can compile and run it from the source dir in one command:
go run ~/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/server/*.go -http=":8080" -https=":8443" -root=/home/user/data/ -debug
You can also use the provided gold.conf-example file to create your own configuration file:
cp ~/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/gold.conf-example ~/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/server/gold.conf
nano ~/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/gold.conf
~/go/bin/server -conf=/home/user/go/src/github.com/linkeddata/gold/gold.conf
To see a list of available options:
~/go/bin/server -help
IMPORTANT: Please consider running gold as a regular user instead of root. Since gold treats all files equally, and even though uploaded files are not made executable, it will not prevent clients from uploading malicious shell scripts.
