gRPC timing greeter client and server

This is an example GRPC client and server based on the example in the GRPC repo.

The project depends on the Grpc and Google.Protobuf NuGet packages.

PREREQUISITES FOR RUNNING IN CONTAINERS

None :) the repo uses Docker multi-state build

BUILD

> cd greeter
> docker-compose build

RUN

> docker-compose up

Note: the client will fail since it is currently attempting to bind to localhost. Edit the compose file to put in your host name for GREETINGS_HOST

PREREQUISITES FOR RUNNING ON HOST

• The DotNetCore SDK cli available to download at https://www.microsoft.com/net/download

BUILD ON HOST

(you dont have to do this - see docker-compose instead)

From the greeter/GreetingClient (and Server) directories:

• dotnet restore

• dotnet build **/project.json (this will automatically download NuGet dependencies)

RUN ON HOST

(you dont have to do this - see docker-compose instead)

• Run the server

  > cd GreeterServer
  > dotnet run
  

• Run the client

  > cd GreeterClient
  > dotnet run
