In a previous post, I explained how to configure Azurite to use a self-signed certificate to enable OAuth authentication. One challenge with this method is that the Azure Python SDK will refuse to connect to azurite, reporting errors such as: This is because the the Azure SDK uses the Requests library, which in turn…
I’ve been using Azurite to simulate Azure storage for my development. If you’re not familiar with it, Azurite is a local storage emulator for Azure Storage, and you can read my other post about how i’ve set up my devcontainer configuration to run Azurite as a service container. As my deployed code is using…
When developing with Azure Storage, it can significantly speed up your development process if you can use a local development environment, rather than constantly connecting directly to storage in Azure itself. This is where Azurite comes in – Azurite is a local storage emulator for Azure Storage, mimicing blob/container, queue and table storage. While…
In Pulumi, when calling pulumi_azure_native.storage.list_storage_account_service_sas_output() to generate a SAS, you pass the required permissions to the permissions: Input[str | Permissions | None] parameter. pulumi_azure_native.storage.Permissions is an enum, offering simple selections (R, L etc.): But you can also pass a string of permissions, any of R, L, D, W, C, A, or P, depending on…
Another note for myself. I wanted to use this to give my app access to the entire account. I thought they would be a property of pulumi_azure_native.storage.StorageAccount but they’re not. Instead you need to call pulumi_azure_native.storage.list_storage_account_keys().
In a storage account, you can create a SAS scoped to a specific container, however, that SAS does not have permission to execute BlobClient.exists() as this requires at least list privileges on the parent object (e.g. the account), and when you try to perform the check, you’ll get this error: Note that this is…
This post is mainly a reminder to myself, because i’ve made the same mistake a few times in different projects. How and why to deploy Azure functions from a package When using Azure Functions, you can simplify deployment and maintenance of your function by deploying from a package file rather than directly in to…
Another post which is more to remind me than anything else. When creating an Azure Function in Pulumi, you may get the following error: Cannot modify this site because another operation is in progress After a bit of digging, i found this issue on the Pulumi repo, which points to a page on the…
When uploading images to WordPress, you may get this error. There are plenty of blogs online offering solutions, but they only apply to self-hosted instances – mine is hosted on wordpress.com. The error is a little pop up with the text The response is not a valid JSON response at the bottom of the…
In a previous post, I created a Barman backup script to back up PostgreSQL running in an VM to AWS S3. If you host your PostgreSQL server in Azure, this can get expensive quickly because you pay egress bandwidth fees to Microsoft. In this article, i’ll show you how to use Azure Blob storage…
