FreeBSD godoc server rc.d script

[Maxim Khitrov]

For anyone interested in running a local godoc server on FreeBSD:

The attached rc.d script starts godoc as an unprivileged user, and
arranges for it to listen on 127.0.0.1:6060 and log to
/var/log/godoc.log. You can change all of these settings in rc.conf.

I run the server behind nginx and it's been working very well. The one
thing I couldn't figure out is if there is some simple way to specify
a root path for the URLs. The generated links are always absolute, so
serving the documentation from http://myserver/godoc/... doesn't work.
If someone has a solution for this, please let me know.

Uhh, where is the attachment? I am just looking for a simple FreeBSD startup
script, but I could not see the attachment.

Hm... I guess the server stripped it. Playground to the rescue:

Oh my... Is there no simpler way?

Sure:

#!/bin/bash

export GOPATH=/home/golang/pkgs
export PATH=/home/golang/pkgs/bin:$PATH

gotour
=================================

But then you'd miss a lot of the nice things that the rc structure gives you, like possibility to stop, restart and reload in a coherent way.
