Update to use app engine runtime go112 (#34)
* app.yaml: update to go112

Make the required changes to use go112 due to the deprecation of Go 1.9.

* go.mod: initial commit

Migrate this project to use go.mod and update the README.

This is part of the recommended steps to runtime: go111 and beyond.

* vendor: add dependent packages

Add all dependencies for the project via vendoring for offline builds.

* travis.yml: drop go 1.6 for 1.12

Go 1.6 is too old to have a number of builtin packages for the latest
appengine package. Remove and update to match app engine version: 1.12.

* appengine.go: remove unused file

From the go111 migration doc:
"The appengine build tag is deprecated and will not be used when
building your app for deployment.  Ensure your code still functions
correctly without it being set."

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go111/go-differences

* main: respect PORT environment variable

The go111 runtime should use the PORT variable to decide the listening
http port.

"PORT The port that receives HTTP requests."

Go Vanity URLs

Go Vanity URLs is a simple App Engine Go app that allows you to set custom import paths for your Go packages.

Quickstart

Install gcloud and install Go App Engine component:

$ gcloud components install app-engine-go

Setup a custom domain for your app.

Get the application:

git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/govanityurls
cd govanityurls

Edit vanity.yaml to add any number of git repos. E.g., customdomain.com/portmidi will serve the https://github.com/rakyll/portmidi repo.

paths:
  /portmidi:
    repo: https://github.com/rakyll/portmidi

You can add as many rules as you wish.

Deploy the app:

$ gcloud app deploy

That's it! You can use go get to get the package from your custom domain.

$ go get customdomain.com/portmidi

Running in other environments

You can also deploy this as an App Engine Flexible app by changing the app.yaml file:

runtime: go
env: flex

This project is a normal Go HTTP server, so you can also incorporate the handler into larger Go servers.

Configuration File

host: example.com
cache_max_age: 3600
paths:
  /foo:
    repo: https://github.com/example/foo
    display: "https://github.com/example/foo https://github.com/example/foo/tree/master{/dir} https://github.com/example/foo/blob/master{/dir}/{file}#L{line}"
    vcs: git
Key Required Description
cache_max_age optional The amount of time to cache package pages in seconds. Controls the max-age directive sent in the Cache-Control HTTP header.
host optional Host name to use in meta tags. If omitted, uses the App Engine default version host or the Host header on non-App Engine Standard environments. You can use this option to fix the host when using this service behind a reverse proxy or a custom dispatch file.
paths required Map of paths to path configurations. Each key is a path that will point to the root of a repository hosted elsewhere. The fields are documented in the Path Configuration section below.

Path Configuration

Key Required Description
display optional The last three fields of the go-source meta tag. If omitted, it is inferred from the code hosting service if possible.
repo required Root URL of the repository as it would appear in go-import meta tag.
vcs required if ambiguous If the version control system cannot be inferred (e.g. for Bitbucket or a custom domain), then this specifies the version control system as it would appear in go-import meta tag. This can be one of git, hg, svn, or bzr.
