support for go 1.17?

[encryptblockr]

Current docker image is using go 1.11.4 but current stable version of go is 1.17
Is there a path to maybe modifying Dockerfile to build image to use go 1.17?
Please let me/us know if this is possible and any list of steps to guide to solution

Thanks

how do we update go to latest version?

currently here is version of go with latest gophernotes docker image

# go version
go version go1.11.4 linux/amd64

how do we update to use go 1.17.0?

The Dockerfile.* probably needs to be updated. @sbinet maybe can help?

[sbinet]

sure. I'll wait for a couple of days to give a bit of time for #238 to be updated and merged, so as to not duplicate work (nor deter new contributors)

[sbinet]

ok, #238 timed out.
see:

• all: update Dockerfiles to alpine-3.15 #242
