Create a React Go Server in 2 minutes

I made this awesome template that comes with a well structured go server and a react frontend and i think its worth sharing.

I created this because I reached the limits of Next.js in my projects and was looking for a good Go alternative. Surprisingly this was really difficult to get set up, and examples were hard to come by.

If you have repo cloned it's 2-3 commands (depending if you have dependencies) to get it running.

For development

1. Running the frontend vite server

make app

1. Running the backend go server

make server

Thats it! The site will now be reachable on port 3000 by default.

For production

1. Building docker image

make build

1. Running the docker image

make run

I can definitely make improvements to the UI of the pages, however from my experience of using things like Vite and React. I end up ripping out all the extras anyway.
