Installation Error - Ubuntu 18.04 about gonic HOT 7 CLOSED

hi! thanks for the report. may I ask what your $ go version is?

from gonic.

My go version is go1.10.4 linux/amd64. Should I install a newer Version from the go PPA?

from gonic.

ah okay. as of a few days ago, we added subsonic jukebox support which requires a more recent go version. however, if you don't fancy upgrating or use jukebox mode, you can install the most recent gonic without jukebox:

cd $(mktemp -d); go mod init tmp; go get go.senan.xyz/gonic/cmd/[email protected]

in the meantime, we'll be working on making gonic "go getable" for older versions of go

from gonic.

also please do let me know if it works for you

I installed version 1.14.2, now it runs. For this I had to add the following PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports

I also configured systemd so that it now runs as a service in the background. For this I moved $HOME/go to /var/gonic/ and created the following /etc/systemd/system/gonic.service:
