Great tutorial! Like your style, "less water" )).

I got some issues during migrate installation:

❯ go get github.com/golang-migrate/migrate            
go get: added github.com/golang-migrate/migrate v3.5.4+incompatible
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I have go version go1.17.1 and linux/amd64 (Arch linux)

BTW I've fixed that by building it from the source.

Just thoughts... I guess you can simplify "Docker related steps" by using docker-compose.

Hi,

Thanks for reply!

I got some issues during migrate installation [...]

If you have some problems with local installation golang-migrate/migrate, try Docker-way of them, like this:

docker run \
  -v ${PWD}:/migrations \
  --network host \
  migrate/migrate \
    -path=/migrations/ \
    -database postgres://localhost:5432/database up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

[...] I guess you can simplify "Docker related steps" by using docker-compose.

It's cool that you noticed this, but I did it on purpose to show the full setup for beginners... 😉 Also, I personally like to use Ansible playbooks instead of docker-compose to deploy the project to live servers (if that's what you want to roll out), but that would be too much for an already large tutorial.
