Statics are ignored

Is there a specific directory that contents are bound to when built?

What you put on your final image via Dockerfile statements, only they’re eligible for being used in [[statics]].

Or is it like docker where I need to get a PID and connect?

For the SSH thing, the link will show you how.
In short, ssh establish and then ssh console.

I am using embed for baking templates into the app when the Go app builds. So I am guessing it’s an issue with files not being moved over.

You could also go through this thread and the link in it to see if that way of building your Go app suits you better.
