This is a basic HTTP server written in Go that listens on port 8080 and responds with "Hello, World!" to any request.

• Go (>=1.16) installed on your machine
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

If you haven't already cloned the repository, run:

git clone https://github.com/hanumachari/go-hello-server.git
cd go-hello-server

Execute the following command to start the server:

go run main.go

You should see this output:

Server is running on port 8080...

Open your browser or use curl to test:

curl http://localhost:8080

✅ Expected output:

Hello, World!

To compile the server into an executable, run:

go build -o server

./server

To containerize the application using Docker 🔹 Build and Run the Container on linux host machine

docker build -t go-server .
docker run -p 8080:8080 go-server

Note: If your host machine is running macOS, copy the relevant Dockerfile from the Docker directory to the project root directory before building the Docker image.
