Entrypoint (scripts/entrypoint.sh)

# Support for env files from secrets
file_env() {
    var="$1"
    fileVar="${var}_FILE"

    val_var="$(printenv "$var")"

    export "$var"="$val"
    unset "$fileVar"
}

# Load env vars (supports *_FILE pattern for secrets)
file_env "MEMOS_DSN"  # or your app's env var

exec "$@"

Docker Compose (scripts/compose.yaml)

services:
  myapp:
    image: myapp:latest
    container_name: myapp
    volumes:
      - ~/.myapp:/var/opt/myapp
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - MODE=prod
      - DRIVER=sqlite

Environment Variables

Variable	Purpose
MODE	dev/demo/prod
DRIVER	sqlite/mysql/postgres
DSN	Database connection string
PORT	HTTP listen port
DATA	Data directory
*{VAR}_FILE	Load from file (for secrets)

Build & Run

# Local build
./scripts/build.sh
./build/server

# Docker build
docker build -t myapp:latest -f scripts/Dockerfile .

# Docker run
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.myapp:/var/opt/myapp myapp:latest

# Docker Compose
docker compose -f scripts/compose.yaml up -d

Key Patterns

Pattern	Description
Multi-stage build	Minimal runtime image
Non-root user	Security best practice
ENV_FILE support	Secrets from mounted files
Volume for data	Persist database
Static binary	CGO_ENABLED=0 for portability
