How to create a gRPC server with explicitly defined parameters?

[pawelpetruch]

The page doesn't show how to create a server with explicit parameters like IPAddress and Port we want the server to listen on.

In Grpc.Core you can create a server with a set of parameters like Services to bind to and Ports, which is very convenient. Also being given an instance of a server allows you to start / stop it.

I assume the same functionality is implemented in Grpc.Net but not documented at all. Therefore, any docs on that matter would be hugely beneficial.

@pawelpetruch, thanks very much for bringing this up. We need to clarify where that information is, and that it is not a special case for gRPC since those configuration options and more are available for all ASP.NET Core apps.

So I'll go this route for fixing this:

• Clarify the server can be customized like any other ASP.NET Core app, such as for the server address and the port to listen on.
• Point to the Kestrel information that details configuration, which applies to all ASP.NET Core apps.

Many thanks!

@wadepickett that would be great.
