go-says-hello

IP / endpoint check written in Go. It intercepts the traffic and shows your "external" IP address (public).

It was developed to quickly check connectivity on AWS / GCP / Azure.

There are three ways to run this repository:

• non-binary: go run . and browse to <IP>:8080/hello
• binary:
  • grab one from the releases
  • copy it and make it executable with cp go-says-hello-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/go-says-hello && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/go-says-hello
  • It can be then accessed system-wide with go-says-hello command
• Docker: docker run -d -p 8080:8080 jakubbialoskorski/go-says-hello and browse to <IP>:8080/hello

<IP> is the public address, assuming you've opened port 8080 for inbound traffic.

Both CAN be opened from localhost, but you'll probably get IPv6 or container's IP as a result, which breaks the purpose of this repository.

Development:

To quickly build multiarch binaries, run:

• chmod +x build-multiarch.sh
• ./build-multiarch.sh github.com/JakubBialoskorski/go-says-hello
