  • swaggo/swag alternative, but should generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec file

    No I use this one https://github.com/swaggo/gin-swagger. It's with swagger 2.0, but I think it can be easily converted to OpenApi 3.0. I tried it once and the only thing it complained about was some simple "metadata" like contact person etc.
  • How to configure swagger UI so it doesn't need the URL?

    I don't use Gin, but I took the canonical example from https://github.com/swaggo/gin-swagger#canonical-example, removed the url := ginSwagger.URL line entirely (and removed url from the next line), and it works as expected locally or when deployed in kubernetes (via kind) for me.
