2024-07-18 - TIL - Valid Combinations of GOOS (OS) and GOARCH (Architecture)

OS and Architecture standard values used in Kubernetes, Docker, etc.

$GOOS & $GOARCH Values

The name of the target operating system and compilation architecture. These default to the values of $GOHOSTOS and $GOHOSTARCH respectively (described below).

Choices for $GOOS are android, darwin, dragonfly, freebsd, illumos, ios, js, linux, netbsd, openbsd, plan9, solaris, wasip1, and windows.

Choices for $GOARCH are amd64 (64-bit x86, the most mature port), 386 (32-bit x86), arm (32-bit ARM), arm64 (64-bit ARM), ppc64le (PowerPC 64-bit, little-endian), ppc64 (PowerPC 64-bit, big-endian), mips64le (MIPS 64-bit, little-endian), mips64 (MIPS 64-bit, big-endian), mipsle (MIPS 32-bit, little-endian), mips (MIPS 32-bit, big-endian), s390x (IBM System z 64-bit, big-endian), and wasm (WebAssembly 32-bit).

The valid combinations of $GOOS and $GOARCH are:
