I'm Josh — a software developer focused on Go, web infrastructure, and building tools that get out of your way. Here's what I've been writing about.
We have built this blog, but let's make it easy to deploy on a VPS, Linux server, or even another development box. We are going to containerize the blog, create a Docker Compose file to test locally, and then create a GitHub Action that updates the container registry on every push to main.
This part covers refactoring the Go blog application for better testability, organizing code into handlers, routes, and helpers, and adding unit tests for core functions and HTTP handlers.
Part 3 covers adding basic styling to the blog, restructuring templates for maintainability, and updating the Go server to render styled content for both the homepage and individual posts.
This part continues building a simple blog in Go, covering template rendering, dynamic routing, markdown parsing, and development workflow improvements.
