Hi i'm trying to deploy my Go rest api. but kept getting this error open .env: no such file or directory after creating the image.
Is it related to the .env file or what. Thanks

You should not be including or using .env files in your production ready project, you should be using os.Getenv("ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE") where possible. But the error you are seeing is most likely caused by your .env file not being included in your repo (which you should never do)

You would want to set the variables in the VARIABLES tab of the service

Yes that I'm being aware too. I did set the variable through VARIABLES in setting. Here wait I'll take the screen shot

don't log.Fatal() on the error returned by godotenv

Will fix. Thnx

the ideal fix would be to first check if the .env file exists, and if so, then load from it, and as long as the file does exist you are safe to log.Fatal on the error returned
