How does the root of a Go web application get resolved?

Im using go's net/http library to serve up a web app. When users come to the site, they can simply go to /, and it serves index.html (like any site).

This is implemented using:

r.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(http.Dir("./")))

However, there are two ways to structure such an app. First you could pack all the files in the same directory. This seems to me to be a unstable solution (if I run the go file directly it fails).

src/bin/app.go
src/bin/index.html

Or, the more "traditional" style, where index.html is top level.

src/bin/app.go
index.html

• Where is the right place for index.html, or other static resources in a go web app ?


• How is the location of ./ determined once we pack a go file into a binary ?


• Can a go binary file preserve a directory structure of non go resources so that this is consistent between dev and production environments?
