Problem with run docker container contains golang project

Question

I experience some problem when attempt to run a my docker image that contain golang application. This Is an error: enter code here standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"

This Is my environment:

GOARCH="amd64"

GOCACHE="/home/nikolaj/.cache/go-build"

GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build838573681=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches"

The dockerfile:

FROM golang:1.12.0

WORKDIR /app

ENV SRC_DIR=/go/src/vk_acceptor/

ADD . $SRC_DIR

RUN cd $SRC_DIR; env; goenv; export GO111MODULE=on; go get -u; go build -o application; cp application /app/

RUN chmod +x application

ENTRYPOINT ["./application"]

After formatting RUN command it looks like this: RUN cd $SRC_DIR && env && goenv && export GO111MODULE=on && go get -u && go build -o application && cp application /app/

Output of docker build . command :

Answer 1

If you look at the output error, you can clearly see the error message:

/bin/sh: 1: goenv: not found

I presume you wanted to type go env in your command?

Answer 2

The standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error" error occurs for various reasons, and not only when you try to launch an image with an architecture different from your host machine, as many forums say. In my case, this error occurred due to the fact that the bundled program was placed in the wrong directory in the docker container.
