Go implementation of [tapio/liveserver](https://github.com/tapio/live-server). A Simple development web server written in go with live reload capabilities

## How it works

The server functions similarly to [tapio/liveserver](https://github.com/tapio/live-server). It serves a directory and its subdirectories, and establishes a WebSocket connection by injecting a JavaScript snippet into every HTML file it serves. The server monitors changes in the directories it serves, and when changes occur, it sends a message via WebSocket to instruct the browser to reload the page.

## Installation

### Docker

You can run go-live-server with docker:

```
docker run -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:8080 coolapso/go-live-server:latest
```

Now you can edit your html files and let go-live-server work its magic from within the docker container
