This image streamlines the development process by bundling a modern Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with the complete Go toolchain, including essential environment variables and PATH configurations. It provides a robust foundation for building cloud-native applications, CLI tools, and microservices. By eliminating the overhead of installing dependencies and troubleshooting pathing issues, it ensures a consistent development experience across local and server environments. Users can focus entirely on writing Go code, confident that their infrastructure is ready for high-concurrency tasks.

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Golang on Ubuntu24.04 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Golang on Ubuntu24.04 Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"apps4rent-golangonubuntu24"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Golang on Ubuntu24.04

Once the Golang on Ubuntu 24.04 One-Click Droplet is created, you can log into it as root. Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s public IPv4 address:

ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4

1. To verify the installed version of Go:

go version

2. To check the installation path of the Go binary:

which go
