not essential ( you can close this ticket ) but a Dockerfile might be a "nice to have" for this project.

I agree, but for which purpose(s)? I can see a couple.

One would be to just build the binary.

The second would be to actually run it. I'm assuming you're talking about a single container that would build it, then run it with some sensible defaults to allow the user to cheick out the application?

A container is a great idea for packaging too. My intended use of this executable and its templates/static files was to run it plain HTTP behind nginx or some other proxy. Maybe we could write a simple container to fire up nginx to show how to set it up.

Thoughts?

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking. I was stating it isn't essential because it might even be simpler for you to just release binaries with the help of something like https://goreleaser.com

The container's a pretty easy option to just build it real quick and test it out, so I just checked in an example Dockerfile.

For release, I'd need to bundle all my static assets along with the binary. The container is a good option. The other one I can think of is a tarball, which I could create with goreleaser. I'll think about how I can/should distribute this.
