VanityGO : Vanity import paths for Go package

Simple go application that allows you to share your code with a custom domain name instead of github or gitlab links or other git protocols.

Say goodbye to github.com/42Atomys/vanity-go imports. Say hello to atomys.codes/vanity-go imports 🎉

When choosing a domain, keep in mind that it will be the name of your package for the foreseeable future, so choose a name that you’ll still like tomorrow. People tend to choose domains with .io, .codes and .dev TLDs for their pacakges/software projects these days.

Motivation

At the beginning to clarify my code especially with gitlab and subfolders (ex: gitlab.com/subgroup-a/subgroup-b/subgroup-n/project) importing files was not sexy. And a problem occurred when the folder architecture changed!

Error 404 in all directions, in all repositories. I created a classic index.html file but having to connect to a server to do vim (sorry emacs) is very annoying.

With webhooked project, I told myself that I didn't want to redo everything, so I put this repo online

Usage

Step 1 : Configuration file

# API Version also used to protect against API or Schema changes
# Actually, the available API versions are: 1
apiVersion: 1
# List of your proxies
# You can add as many proxies as you want with logic:
# 1 proxy per final domain
proxies:
- # namespace is the domain name used for following entries
  # This can be a subdomain, a domain or a full domain name
  # subdomain.example.org, example.org or example.org/subdomain
  namespace: atomys.codes
  # All entries of this namespace will be proxied to the following address
  # Key are the name and the entrypoint/path of your proxied packages
  # Value is the current URL of your package. The Destination URL must
  # end with a valid protocol.
  # Allowed protocol are: "bzr", "fossil", "git", "hg", "svn".
  entries:
    # Root redirection can be catch with "-" or "/" as key
    # Will responds to the following URL: atomys.codes
    -: https://github.com/42Atomys/vanity-go.git
    # Redirect go-get import to atomys.codes/vanity-go
    vanity-go: https://github.com/42Atomys/vanity-go.git
    # Redirect go-get import to atomys.codes/webhooked
    webhooked: https://github.com/42Atomys/webhooked.git
    # Redirect go-get import to atomys.codes/dns-updater
    dns-updater: https://github.com/42Atomys/dns-updater.git
    # Redirect go-get import to atomys.codes/subpath/gw2api-go
    sdk/gw2api-go: https://gitlab.com/Atomys/gw2api-go.git

Step 2: Launch it 🚀

TIPS: When you create your routing, configure it to only take into account the query params go-get=1 to follow the GoLang directive (https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths)

With Kubernetes

If you want to use kubernetes, for production or personnal use, refere to example/kubernetes:

https://github.com/42Atomys/vanity-go/tree/main/examples/kubernetes

With Docker image

You can use the docker image atomys/vanity-go in a very simplistic way

# Basic launch instruction using the default configuration path
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/myconfig.yaml:/config/vanity.yaml atomys/vanity-go:latest
# Use custom configuration file
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/myconfig.yaml:/myconfig.yaml atomys/vanity-go:latest serve --config /myconfig.yaml

With pre-builded binary

./vanity-go serve --config config.yaml -p 8080
