Problem description

Can't install grpc-tools on arm architecture (raspberry pi) because of missing precompiled binaries.

node-pre-gyp ERR! stack Error: 404 status code downloading tarball https://node-precompiled-binaries.grpc.io/grpc-tools/v1.8.1/linux-arm64.tar.gz

Is it possible to build these at all?

Reproduction steps

npm init
npm install grpc-tools

Environment

Ubuntu 20.04 arm64

This is also an issue when running inside Docker on the new MacBook with the M1 Chip.

We do not intend to distribute ARM binaries for grpc-tools. I suggest generating your code on a different system and then transferring your code to your ARM system instead.

@Nilos Same issue brought me here 👋

Update: I managed to build and run the container by adding --platform linux/amd64 option to both build and run docker commands. You could alternatively specify platform: linux/amd64 for each docker-compose service.
