How to setup proto.grpc.pb.go

Remember to use: go get "google.golang.org/grpc"

After setting up .proto file use this:

protoc --go_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_out=. --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative proto/service.proto

It will create 2 different pb.go files Remember to copy both in the docker file.

COPY ./proto/service_grpc.pb.go /docker_folder/proto COPY ./proto/service.pb.go /docker_folder/proto COPY ./main.go /docker_folder

To build the container:

og docker build --tag=test .

docker build -f dockerfile.server --tag=server . docker build -f dockerfile.client --tag=client .

To start the server:

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 --name chatservice server

remember to run server on a public network (not set to private)

To connect the client (Remember to be inside the client folder):

go run main.go OR docker run --rm -it client fyi the clint.go grpcdial needs to be changed to whatever your ipv4 address is. so to make the client run as docker container you have to hardcode that as line 142 in client.go

set client.go contain host IP address check ipconfig /all under IPv4 host can just have :8080 in their client.go
