Golang Ansible Role

The Golang ansible role allows you to install a specific Go version (only linux OS is supported at the moment) including setting up an example hello world Go web application as a systemd service.

• For Windows, you could simply install go using choco install golang
• For MacOS, you could simply install go using brew install go

Getting Started

Update the inventory file

Adjust the example.inventory.ini file according to your target host and SSH credentials then rename the file to inventory.ini

Run on local machine

ansible-playbook testapp.yml -i inventory.ini

Test on target machine (defined in the inventory file)

You could test whether the example hello world Go web application has been running successfully using the following commands on the target machine defined in the inventory file:
