There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }

Mistakes to Avoid: Docker Antipatterns

Whichever route you take to implementing containers, you’ll want to steer clear of common pitfalls that can undermine the efficiency of your Docker stack.

Don’t run too many processes inside a single container

The beauty of containers—and an advantage of containers over virtual machines—is that it is easy to make multiple containers interact with one another in order to compose a complete application. There is no need to run a full application inside a single container. Instead, break your application down as much as possible into discrete services, and distribute services across multiple containers. This maximizes flexibility and reliability.

Don’t install operating systems inside Docker containers

It is possible to install a complete Linux operating system inside a container. In most cases, however, this is not necessary. If your goal is to host just a single application or part of an application in the container, you need to install only the essential

Set GOPRIVATE to match your github organization

I keep fixing this up, but if it fails for you, check if these are better maintained https://tip.golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Configuration_for_downloading_non_public_code and https://golang.org/ref/mod#private-modules.

Cloning the repo using one of the below techniques should work correctly but you may still be getting an unrecognized import error.

As it stands for Go v1.13, I found in the doc that we should use the GOPRIVATE variable like so:

GOPRIVATE=github.com/ORGANISATION_OR_USER_NAME go get -u -f github.com/ORGANISATION_OR_USER_NAME/REPO_NAME

The 'go env -w' command (see 'go help env') can be used to set these variables for future go command invocations.
