grpc/node repository overview

⁠About this repo

This is the Git repo containing the official Docker images for grpc⁠.

⁠What is gRPC ?

A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first, available in many programming languages. For full details, see the official gRPC documentation⁠.

⁠Organization

The repo is set up to mirror the structure of docker-library⁠ repos.

• For each grpc release, there is a folder named after the release version.
• Within each release folder, there is a folder containing Dockerfiles for each of the supported grpc programming languages.
• Within each language folder, there is a main Dockerfile derived from the latest stable debian release and version of the programming language.
  • Optionally, there may be sub-folders containing other docker images, e.g, 'slim' versions or versions built at other versions of debian or the programming language

The folder structure matches that used by official docker images⁠. This anticipates the future publishing gRPC as an official docker image once it reaches it GA milestone.
