Example helloworld test web application

This guide only applies to Next-Gen WAF customers with access to the Next-Gen WAF control panel. If you have access to the Next-Gen WAF product in the Fastly control panel, you can only deploy the Next-Gen WAF with the Edge WAF deployment method.

This uses the helloworld example included with the Next-Gen WAF Golang module as a test web application named helloworld.

See main.go in the sigsci-module-golang helloworld example.

Dockerfile

Dockerfile to build the signalsciences/example-helloworld container:

$ docker build . -t signalsciences/example-helloworld:latest
FROM golang:latest


# Image metadata
LABEL com.signalsciences.sigsci-module-golang.examples="helloworld"
LABEL maintainer="Signal Sciences <support@fastly.com>"


# Install sigsci golang module example
RUN go install github.com/signalsciences/sigsci-module-golang/examples/helloworld@latest


ENTRYPOINT [ "helloworld" ]

Kubernetes deployment file
