How can I use nginx 1.9.5 as reverse proxy with gRPC?

[igzh...@gmail.com]

Thanks guys, It's very pleasure to join this group.

I want to write my backend code with Java, and my reverse proxy engine is NGINX 1.11.9(which has been supported HTTP/2), I saw the gRPC PHP has been adapted with NGINX with the doc:  https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/php#use-the-grpc-php-extension-with-nginxphp-fpm

But no doc for any other repo, such as gRPC Java even some relates tips.

So I was searching for it, but further searching, more confuse, because gRPC PHP is worked with NGINX, in theory, gRPC can work too, isn't it? But I also saw there is an issue said it is in the process of submitting a 3rd party module in nginx for grpc support without update, and there is a ticket on NGINX means we can't write HTTP/2 NGINX proxy module for gRPC, and also saw nginx does not support the full HTTP/2 specs, gRPC does not work through it

Thanks!

The PHP use case is as follows:

• Your frontend client (e.g. browser, mobile) is hitting your Nginx reverse proxy
• Perhaps that's a PHP script that the user is requesting. Nginx is launching a fastcgi process to run your PHP script.
• This PHP script can be used as a gRPC client itself, to communicate further with a gRPC backend server that could have been implemented in any language.

Hope that helps.
