The Docker Official Image packaging repository for the Go programming language, providing the 'golang' images published on Docker Hub. It contains the shell scripts and Dockerfiles that build maintained Go toolchain images for use as build and runtime bases in containers.
Use cases
- build go applications inside docker containers
- base image for golang dockerfile
- multi-stage docker build with go toolchain
- run go compiler in ci pipeline container
- pin a specific go version in containerized builds
- containerize a go microservice
When to choose
- you need a trusted, regularly updated Go toolchain image for Docker builds
- you want multi-architecture official images for building or running Go code
- you want reproducible Go versions in CI/CD containers
When to avoid
- you need the Go compiler installed natively on your host rather than in a container
- you need a minimal distroless runtime image with custom tooling
- you want to modify the Go toolchain itself rather than consume it
