How to run golang script in PM2?

Question

How do you auto start golang scripts in PM2 on Ubuntu 20.04? this is how I run golang scripts:

./rimgo

I tried pm2 start "./rimgo" --name rimgo but it didn't work. What is the correct command?

Answer 1

I already run a Golang script. Check this steps:

1. go build main.go For to build the script. This must generate a main binary file.
2. Grant execution permission for this file with sudo chmod +x main
3. Try to execute from command line with ./main
4. Update the pm2 to latest & type pm2 start ./main --name FooBar

Answer 2

you can follow this steps :

1. Create you binary using go build main.go
2. give execution permission to the binary using sudo chmod +x main.
3. create a package.json file:

{
    "apps" : [{
      "name"        : "main",
      "script"      : "./main"
    }]
}

and finally:

execute :

pm2 start package.json
