Hello World Golang Web Server

This is a simple Golang web server that serves a "Hello, World!" message when you visit the root URL (/). The server is designed to be containerized using Docker.

Requirements

• Docker

Usage

Running with Docker

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t hello-world-server .

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -p 8080:8000 -e PORT=8080 hello-world-server

This command runs the hello-world-server container and maps the host's port 8080 to the container's port 8000. It also sets the PORT environment variable inside the container to 8080.

3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your web browser to see the "Hello, World!" message.

Configuration

The web server listens on the port specified by the PORT environment variable. If the PORT variable is not set, it defaults to 8000.

You can change the default port by setting the PORT environment variable when running the container.
