Configure containerized application builds to be efficient and flexible by avoiding hardcoded architecture decisions and using appropriate compiler flags. Let the build system determine architecture targeting instead of maintaining architecture-specific code blocks in your Dockerfiles. For Go applications, use appropriate build flags like CGO_ENABLED=0
to enable static linking and optimize container images.
Example: Instead of:
RUN if [ "$(uname -m)" = "aarch64" ]; then \
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o webhook -a . ; \
else \
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o webhook -a . ; \
fi
Prefer:
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -o webhook -ldflags "-w" -a .
This approach simplifies maintenance, allows multi-architecture builds through tools like Docker buildx (e.g., docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 ...
), and produces more efficient container images.
