Fixes issue #12.
Problem
The Docker image fails to run with the error
exec /bin/gitmal: no such file or directoryeven though the binary exists. This occurs because the Go binary is dynamically linked and expects glibc, but Alpine Linux uses musl libc. The misleading error actually indicates the dynamic linker (/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) is not found.Solution
Set
CGO_ENABLED=0during the build to compile a statically linked binary that doesn't depend on external C libraries. This is the standard approach for Go binaries in Alpine-based containers.Changes
