godoc on appengine
------------------
Prerequisites
-------------
* Go appengine SDK
https://developers.google.com/appengine/downloads#Google_App_Engine_SDK_for_Go
* Go sources at tip under $GOROOT
Directory structure
-------------------
* Let $APPDIR be the directory containing the app engine files.
(e.g., $APPDIR=$HOME/godoc-app)
* $APPDIR contains the following entries (this may change depending on
app-engine release and version of godoc):
app.yaml
godoc.zip
godoc/
index.split.*
* The app.yaml file is set up per app engine documentation.
For instance:
application: godoc-app
version: 1
runtime: go
api_version: go1
handlers:
- url: /.*
script: _go_app
* The godoc/ directory contains a copy of the files under $GOROOT/src/cmd/godoc
with doc.go excluded (it belongs to pseudo-package "documentation")
Configuring and running godoc
-----------------------------
To configure godoc, run
bash setup-godoc-app.bash
to create the godoc.zip, index.split.*, and godoc/appconfig.go files
based on $GOROOT and $APPDIR. See the script for details on usage.
To run godoc locally, using the app-engine emulator, run
<path to google_appengine>/dev_appserver.py $APPDIR
godoc should come up at http://localhost:8080 .
