How do I set up remote debugging in Go?

To set up remote debugging in Go, you can use the Delve debugger. First, install Delve using go get -u github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv. Then, run your application with Delve in headless mode using dlv debug --headless --accept-multiclient --listen=:2345.

What do I need to do on the client side to connect to the debugger?

On the client side, you can connect to the remote debugger using the Delve client. Use the command dlv connect <remote-ip>:2345 to establish the connection.

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, exposing the debugger over the network can pose security risks. It's recommended to use a secure tunnel or VPN to protect the connection.

Can I use remote debugging with Docker?

Absolutely! You can run your Go application inside a Docker container and expose the Delve port. Just ensure that the container's network settings allow for external connections.
