Vagrant environment for Golang, with support for both go and gb tools.

To use this do something like the following:

git clone https://github.com/reiver/vagrant-golang

# You're probably going to want to create your
# own git repository. So delete the one that
# came with this.

rm -fR .git

cd vagrant

vagrant up

vagrant ssh

# Now you are inside of the vagrant-based virtual machine.

cd /vagrant_project

nano src/main.go

# Put something like the following in main.go
#
# package main
#
# import "fmt"
#
# func main() {
#     fmt.Println("Hello world!")
# }

gb build

./bin/main

TL;DR: 10.10.10.10

Unless you change it, the vagrant/Vagrantfile file is configured to use the IP address 10.10.10.10

This is part of (what is called) the "reserved private address space" for IPv4. No public computer on the Internet will use this IP address.

(However, if you are on a private network (which could include your ISP, your office, etc) it is possible they are using it for something. If you have a conflict, simply change that IP address in vagrant/Vagrantfile to something else, and restart vagrant.)

If you are wondering, why is the VirtualBox window coming up when I run "vagrant up"?, then read this section.

My personal preference is that the VirtualBox window comes up. I don't like (what is called) "headless" mode. With the VirtualBox window being shown, if there is an error, I can often see it.

However, not everyone likes this. So, if you want to swtich to headless mode, then find the line in vagrant/Vagrantfile that says:

vb.gui = true

And change that to:

vb.gui = false

And then restart vagrant.
