Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
OS: CentOS Linux 7.9.2009 (Core)
Plesk version and microupdate number
Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.43 Update #1
OS: CentOS Linux 7.9.2009 (Core)
Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.43 Update #1

Hello,
Is there a push-button way to install it?
Does anyone have it installed? I was wondering if it causes any issues?

thanks!
 
I have successfully installed gRPC on the following server:
Code: 
# plesk version
Product version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.42.1
OS version: Ubuntu 20.04 x86_64
With the following steps:
Code: 
# apt install gcc make plesk-php81-dev
# /opt/plesk/php/8.1/bin/pecl install grpc
# echo "extension=grpc.so" > /opt/plesk/php/8.1/etc/php.d/grpc.ini
# plesk bin php_handler --reread
Check that grpc module is loaded:
Code: 
# /opt/plesk/php/8.1/bin/php -m | grep grpc
grpc

But I cant install it on CentOS server:
Code: 
# plesk version   
Product version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.44.0
OS version: CentOS 7.6.1810 x86_64

There is some gcc error in process of compiling module.
Looks like it is related to GCC version:
On CentOS server:
Code: 
# gcc -v
...
gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC)
On Ubuntu server:
Code: 
# gcc -v
...
gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1)

You can try upgrading to a higher version of GCC. But this is a task for the Linux administrator and is not related to Plesk. I haven't tried it but you can try and share results here.
 
Hello,

I have successfully installed grpc on CentOS 7 Plesk 18 for PHP 8.2, we just have to use compatible GCC devtools using SCL.

Bash: 
# plesk version

Hello,

I have tried following these steps for my Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.59 Update #2 server running on AlmaLinux 9.3 (Shamrock Pampas Cat) but am having issues. I cannot install centos-release-scl (which is obvious since this package is CentOS specific), but from what I understand gcc is built in AlmaLinux. The current version installed is
Bash: 
# gcc -v
gcc version 11.4.1 20230605 (Red Hat 11.4.1-2) (GCC)

plesk-php82-devel version
Package make-1:4.3-7.el9.x86_64
Package plesk-php82-devel-8.2.18-0redhat.9.240412.1352.x86_64

I cannot install grpc because the module is not in the directory.
Bash: 
 # /opt/plesk/php/8.2/bin/pecl install grpc
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'grpc.so' (tried: /opt/plesk/php/8.2/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so
(/opt/plesk/php/8.2/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /opt/plesk/php/8.2/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so.so
(/opt/plesk/php/8.2/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

So I ran this command to install it (which took an insane amount of time)
Bash: 
# sudo pecl install grpc

Libraries have been installed in:
   /tmp/pear-build-rootD4OxQL/grpc-1.62.0/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Don't forget to run 'make test'.

Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/grpc-1.62.0
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=grpc.so" to php.ini

As you can see this installs grpc in /usr/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so and not /opt/plesk/php/8.2/lib64/php/modules/grpc.so and thus composer cannot find the extension to install the package dependencies.
Hoping someone can shed some light on how to get this working.

Thanks
