    BTW, maybe you could consider using the embed or go-bindata packages to embed the UI files in the binary, so it's easier to package/install (either with brew or go install).
  • Разбираем go:embed в Go 1.16

    Что если мы хотим встроить файл в наш бинарник на go, например, какие-то шаблоны, html файлы, если это веб сервер или даже README.md ? Нам приходилось либо саморучно затаскивать их в наш код, либо пользоваться сторонними библиотечками, такими как go-bindata. Оба варианта отстойные. Первый способ не гибкий, в нем можно ошибиться, так как нужно все делать вручную. Второй способ получше, но это дополнительные зависимости, которых может не оказаться в вашей среде и главное дополнительные шаги при сборке приложения.

    Traditionally, we have relied on third-party packages like go-bindata or statik to embed static assets in Go binaries. These tools essentially require to run a command against the assets we want to embed to create a Go file which contains a binary representation of them. Later, you import this generated file in your code and you access the files using some key based on the path or a virtual file system.
