`blackieops/synonym`

This is a small Go microservice to handle returning Go module metadata and redirect/alias the paths to Github.

Usage

First you need a config.yaml. For example:

---
port: 8080
hostname: "go.b8s.dev"
target_base_url: "github.com/blackieops"
default_branch_name: "main"

We recommend deploying synonym via Docker. Just forward the port and mount your config file:

$ docker run --rm -p 6969:6969 -v `pwd`/config.yaml:/config.yaml ghcr.io/blackieops/synonym:main

By default, all requests get rewritten to the configured target_base_url, eg.,

go.example.com/somepkg -> github.com/example/somepkg

But this may not suit all repos. Sometimes you may need some custom overrides or aliasing to point to different providers, user namespaces, etc.

You can configure custom_mappings in the config file to accomplish this:

---
# [...]

custom_mappings:
  - path: /example
    target: other.example.com/some/other/path/to/repo

A Makefile is included to automate common build and development commands.

To build the binary:

$ make build

To run the test suite:

$ make test

To run formatters and linters:

$ make fmt
$ make lint

To tidy the deps:

$ make tidy
