You likely shouldn't do that in the init function, but do it from main, where you have a clearly defined error handling path.
There are ~four things you can do with an error in init: 1. Ignore it 2. Log it 3. Store it in a package-scoped variable and check that later 4. Panic Neither of these are good options, but they are the only ones you have.
