FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a local development environment with Go, Docker, and PostgreSQL?▼

To set up a local development environment with Go, Docker, and PostgreSQL, you need running Docker Compose, the Go toolchain, and a configured .env file. The setup task automates initializing database migrations and bringing services online.

What is the best way to automate database migrations and dependency setup after cloning a repository?▼

The best way to automate database migrations and dependency setup is running an automated setup task. It leverages repository scripts to apply migrations and configure tooling, ensuring a consistent starting point without manual configuration.

Do I need Docker Compose to run Go-based local development workflows?▼

Docker Compose is required for full setups involving PostgreSQL and external services. However, you can perform a Go-only setup that skips Docker services when external schemas or Node.js dependencies are not required.

Can I reset my local development environment after switching branches?▼

Yes, you can reset your local development environment after switching branches. The setup task handles both initialization and recovery, reapplying database migrations and tooling configurations to restore a healthy state.

How do I verify that my Docker and Go development environment is healthy?▼

To verify your Docker and Go development environment is healthy, the setup task includes built-in verification and troubleshooting guidance. This validates that services are online and database migrations have applied correctly.

Why does my local development environment setup fail when starting Docker services?▼

Your local development environment setup fails when Docker services cannot start if prerequisites are missing. You must have Docker running, Docker Compose installed, the Go toolchain configured, and a valid .env file before execution.
