running gRPC server and client on different machine

Question

Currently I am using below code to start a grpc server, I want to start graph server and client in such a way so that I would be able to run both on different machines and then connecting them.

server = grpc.server(futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10))
xyz_pb2_grpc.add_xyzServicer_to_server(
    xyzServicer(), server
)
server.add_insecure_port("localhost:50051")
server.start()
print("server started")
server.wait_for_termination()

I used the above approach to connect both server and client on same machine but now I want to do it with server and client on different machine

As @rasjani said, use 0.0.0.0:50051 or ipV4 or [::]:50051 for ipV6. You can look at the basic tutorial at https://grpc.io/docs/languages/python/basics/#starting-the-server
