Build SFTPGo from source

You can install the package to your $GOPATH with the go tool from shell:

go get -u github.com/drakkan/sftpgo

Or you can download the sources and use go build.

Make sure Git is installed on your machine and in your system's PATH.

The following build tags are available:

  • nogcs, disable Google Cloud Storage backend, default enabled
  • nos3, disable S3 Compabible Object Storage backends, default enabled
  • nobolt, disable Bolt data provider, default enabled
  • nomysql, disable MySQL data provider, default enabled
  • nopgsql, disable PostgreSQL data provider, default enabled
  • nosqlite, disable SQLite data provider, default enabled
  • noportable, disable portable mode, default enabled
  • nometrics, disable Prometheus metrics, default enabled

If no build tag is specified the build will include the default features.

The optional SQLite driver is a CGO package and so it requires a C compiler at build time. On Linux and macOS, a compiler is easy to install or already installed. On Windows, you need to download MinGW-w64 and build SFTPGo from its command prompt.

The compiler is a build time only dependency. It is not required at runtime.

Version info, such as git commit and build date, can be embedded setting the following string variables at build time:

  • github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.commit
  • github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.date

For example, you can build using the following command:

go build -i -tags nogcs,nos3,nosqlite -ldflags "-s -w -X github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.commit=`git describe --always --dirty` -X github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.date=`date -u +%FT%TZ`" -o sftpgo

You should get a version that includes git commit, build date and available features like this one:

$ ./sftpgo -v
