Rebuild when files changes on docker

Question

i'm starting to work with docker (with boot2docker on Mac OSX) and golang,

Whenever I make changes on my .go files I want to be visible on the docker image.

Is there anyway to do this? Or docker is not the appropiate thing to do this?

Thanks

Docker does not do this by default. I described a couple approaches to this in my question & answer here. A simple way to accomplish what you want is to use a watcher (like nodemon) to monitor your folder and kick off a script (or better, use fig) that recreates and runs your images.
