Mock HTTP Server

This project provides an ultra-simple HTTP server written in Go that responds to all requests with a 200 OK -- and is useful as a mock endpoint for functional testing.

The project uses a special 2-phase build process that statically compiles Go binaries and injects them into an empty Docker image, shrinking the resulting image from hundreds of MB to < 5 MB.

Running this Container

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 deis/mock-http-server

Building from Source

To build the image, run make build.

The build and runtime environments are split into two parts:

The build environment

Based on deis/go, this image installs a Go development environment and compiles a binary.

The runtime environment

This image pulls in the standalone binary compiled in the build environment and injects it into a minimal standalone container inherited FROM scratch.
