Why am I getting 404 with Go in docker

This is my Dockerfile

FROM golang:alpine AS build
RUN apk --no-cache add gcc g++ make git
WORKDIR /go/src/app
COPY . .
RUN go get ./...
RUN GOOS=linux go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o ./bin/web-app ./main.go

FROM alpine:3.9
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates
WORKDIR /usr/bin
COPY --from=build /go/src/app/bin /go/bin
EXPOSE 80
ENTRYPOINT /go/bin/web-app --port 80

And this is a simple main.go:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
)

func main() {
    http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./public")))
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil))
}

The public directory is in the same folder with the main.go file. There is an index.html in the public directory. When I run go run main.go my website is served properly. But with Docker, I get the 404 page. I suspect it has to do with the placement of the files inside the docker container. Any help is appreciated.

As LinPy has mentioned you should copy the public folder from build to alpine

And you have to set the WORKDIR to /go in order for the relative path to work

eg. 

FROM golang:alpine AS build
RUN apk --no-cache add gcc g++ make git
WORKDIR /go/src/app
COPY . .
RUN go get ./...
RUN GOOS=linux go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o ./bin/web-app ./main.go

FROM alpine:3.9
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates
WORKDIR /go
COPY --from=build /go/src/app/bin /go/bin
COPY --from=build /go/src/app/public /go/public
EXPOSE 80
ENTRYPOINT /go/bin/web-app --port 80

I think you need to create the folder in your alpine container:

RUN mkdir -p /go/bin/public

and make sure to have something in that folder.

or you need to copy the folder and files from the first go container.

and edit your dokcerfile :

WORKDIR /go/bin
ENTRYPOINT web-app --port 80
