Windows Server 2019 64bit won't execute blocky

Latest 0.8 release AMD64 Windows build.

On another note, I downloaded the source and tried to build it with
set GOOS=windows
set GOARCH=amd64

It fails with this error:

c:\go\src\blocky\server\server.go:6:2: no Go files in c:\go\src\blocky\docs

[0xERR0R]

Just tested 0.8 on Windows 10 -> works fine. How did you start it? With cmd.exe?
Regarding you build question: there is a step necessary to generate some code, see build step in the Makefile:

blocky/Makefile

Line 20 in d4e4fab

$(shell go env GOPATH)/bin/swag init -g api/api.go

The swag tool can be installed as defined here:

blocky/Makefile

Line 12 in d4e4fab

go get github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/[email protected]

I tried starting it from a command window (administrator): Same error.

When running from Powershell I get a more detailed error:

Program 'blocky_v0.8_windows_amd64.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS
platform.At line:1 char:1

This is Server 2019 (which is only 64bit).

Also, now when trying to build on this machine I get a bit further but:

blocky/resolver

c:\go\src\blocky\resolver\query_logging_resolver.go:46:22: undefined: unix.Access
c:\go\src\blocky\resolver\query_logging_resolver.go:46:43: undefined: unix.W_OK
c:\go\src\blocky\resolver\stats_resolver.go:89:25: undefined: syscall.SIGUSR2

Found some similar issue here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60625330/error-while-installing-kubectl-in-windows-10
Please try to start from current directory ./blocky_v0.8_windows_amd64.exe

[DaBrondo]

Same error when starting from current dir ".\blocky.exe"

In CMD.exe window it also gives the error "Access is denied". This is an Administrator window too.

Do you try to compile the latest version (master)? This was fixed in #59

[DaBrondo]

I have not yet.... fairly new to Go lang. If I go get blocky will it pull master?

[0xERR0R]

Just clone the git repo

[0xERR0R]

Please try to add the directory to your PATH variable (or temporary copy the binary to a director in PATH)

[DaBrondo]

Master built!

Testing now.

So, it builds and is running. Appears that the https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt is down (or gone). Is there another good list to grab?

[0xERR0R]

Some list source are documented here: https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky/wiki/List-sources

SHA1/SHA256 checksum should be provided for every binary release to ensure integrity.

https://goreleaser.com/customization/checksum/

GoReleaser generates a project_1.0.0_checksums.txt file and uploads it with the release, so your users can validate if the downloaded files are correct.

@mapl Currently, I don't use goreleaser, but providing a checksum is a good idea

Since Release 0.14, checksum file is provided
