standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" Docker with go basic web app

Question

The very basic web app is created in Go

package main

import(
   "fmt"
   "net/http"
   "os"
)

func hostHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){
    name, err :=os.Hostname()

    if err != nil {
           panic(err)
        }

        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>HOSTNAME: %s</h1><br>",name)
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>ENVIRONMENT VARS: </h1><br>")
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<ul>")

        for _, evar := range os.Environ(){
            fmt.Fprintf(w, "<li>%s</li>",evar)
        }
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "</ul>")

}

func rootHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){

    fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>Awesome site in Go!</h1><br>")
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "<a href='/host/'>Host info</a><br>")

}

func main() {

        http.HandleFunc("/", rootHandler)
        http.HandleFunc("/host/", hostHandler)
        http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)


}

Docker File for it

FROM scratch
WORKDIR /home/ubuntu/go
COPY webapp /
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["/webapp"]

The image is built successfully

ubuntu@ip-172-31-32-125:~/go/src/hello$ docker build -t "webapp" .

But when i run the docker its show error.

ubuntu@ip:~/go/src/hello$ docker run webapp
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

Please guide what is the issue, I am new to docker and go.

Environment-related information

ubuntu@ip:~/go/src/hello$ ls
Dockerfile  webapp
ubuntu@ip:~/go/src/hello$ echo $GOPATH
/home/ubuntu/go

Code was compiled with go build webapp.go command

Answer 1

File not found can mean the file is missing, a script missing the interpreter, or an executable missing a library. In this case, the net import brings in libc by default, as a dynamic linked binary. You should be able to see that with ldd on your binary.

To fix it, you'll need to pass some extra flags:

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -a -tags netgo -ldflags '-w' -o mybin *.go
