Golang private modules in Bitbucket server

Working with public go modules is quite easy. Private modules, not so much. Private modules + a on-promises service such as Bitbucket server…

I’ve struggled a bit with that precise setup, so I want to share the approach.

First let’s set our assumptions:

• Our bitbucket/stash server is https://stash.server
• The private module repository lives under project myproject and is named mymodule.
• The ssh url for the repository is ssh://git@stash.server:2233/myproject/mymodule.git
• The repository has a tag v0.0.1
• Our Public SSH Key is configured into bitbucket

Configure git to use SSH instead of HTTPs to access our bitbucket server. Please notice the /scm/ segment.

git config --global url."ssh://git@stash.server:9999/".insteadOf "https://stash.server/scm/"

Configure golang to know that modules under stash.server are private:

# this can be added to .bashrc
export GOPRIVATE=stash.server

#main.go package main

import ( “stash.server/myproject/mymodule )

func main(){ fmt.Printf(“%s”, myModule.Hello()) }

The module can be installed using standard `go get`:

$ go get stash.server/myproject/mymodule@v0.0.1 ```
