Bat out of hell

Not completely without luck, you find that the previous developers have actually created README's for their code!

Try that and see how that flies for you.

Task

• Install go on your cloud instance
• Build with go build in each seperater folder
• Binaries called backend and frontend will be created
• Run both the frontend and backend with go run frontend and go run backend in the respective folder.
• Familiarize yourself with the application (frontend and backend, try to add a cookie and re-run the backend)

Installing go

If your instance do not have go installed, you can install it with the following commands:

GO_VERSION="1.21.0"
wget https://go.dev/dl/go${GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go${GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.profile
source $HOME/.profile
