Deploy a Go app on OrbixPanel

A Go web service deploys as a managed binary behind a reverse proxy.

What OrbixPanel runs

Because your repo has a go.mod, it’s detected as Go and built with:

go build -o app .

then started as ./app. So your main package must be at the repo root (or adjust your build accordingly).

The one rule: listen on $PORT

OrbixPanel sets a PORT environment variable and forwards traffic to it. Read it:

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    port := os.Getenv("PORT")
    if port == "" {
        port = "8080" // local fallback
    }
    http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Write([]byte("Hello from OrbixPanel"))
    })
    http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:"+port, nil)
}

A health check waits for the app to listen — if you hard-code a port, it’ll fail.

Deploy

Apps → Deploy from Git → repo + branch → Deploy → add domain + SSL. Background: how deploys work.

Tips

• Vendoring / modules: the build runs go build with modules enabled; commit a valid go.mod/go.sum.
• Config via env: read database URLs and secrets from environment variables.
• Static assets: embed them (embed.FS) or serve from a folder your binary knows about.

Troubleshooting

• Build fails → run go build ./... locally first; the deploy log shows the compiler error.
• Won’t go live → you’re not reading os.Getenv("PORT").
