Tutorial¶

This tutorial will guide you to create your sample application on your system.

You will need Docker (or complient runtime) and Go installed

Container Runtime¶

First, make sure to have a container runtime installed like Docker or podman.

If you use a MacOS system, then it is recommended to use Docker Desktop.

If you use Windows, it is highly recommended to install WSL and Docker Desktop.

Open a command prompt and make a new directory:

mkdir hello
cd hello

Populate with the sample application from the grpc-framework:

curl -L \
  https://github.com/libopenstorage/grpc-framework/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz | \
  tar xz --strip=3 "grpc-framework-master/test/app"

Run go mod init. See Golang: Getting Started for more information:

go mod init hello

Now add the grpc-framework as a dependency:

go get github.com/libopenstorage/grpc-framework@latest

Let golang determine the rest of the dependencies:

go mod tidy

Build:

make

Run the server:

./bin/server

On another terminal run the client:

./bin/client
