Simultaneously deploy multiple functions in a single Azure function app

Image
 In this article, I will explain a method I used while working with multiple functions to manage multiple azure functions under an azure function app. Issue with VSCode : In Visual Studio Code, each time I create a python function, it will add a new project directory along with a separate virtual environment, host.json and other config files. When I try to deploy a function it will delete existing azure functions in the function app. Resolution : With Azure CLI, using 'func' command, multiple python functions are created with common virtual environment, requirements.txt, host.json and local.settings.json. Deploying from the parent directory will make sure all functions are deployed and are in the latest versions. Detailed Explanation: Starting with the basics, open command prompt/terminal/powershell and login to Azure CLI (Command: az login). A new tab will be opened in your browser and ask for login info. After successful login, you will be redirected to terminal and window wi

How to remove TWRP from Android Phone - Nubia Z11 miniS

Image
Hi, today I'm sharing an interesting experiment done on my Nubia Z11 miniS (NX549J). I have rooted this android device using TWRP but later noticed that software patches from Nubia aren't automatically updating. So, I decided to go back to factory system by removing TWRP and by flashing default ROM. 1. Download stock ROM for your device. Visit your phone manufacturer's website and download stock ROM for your specific model. In my case it was in https://www.nubia.com/in/support.php?a=download .  2. Extract the .zip file into your PC. Extract the downloaded firmware to your system. Extracted files will look similar to this.  3. Install ADB and fastboot. These are needed to interact with your phone from a PC. If you are using Ubuntu flavors please make use of "apt install". 4. Follow these ADB and fastboot commands adb devices       # To list connected android devices sudo adb reboot bootloader        # To boot device to recovery mode sudo

Automate Blog Post creation using Blogger APIs and Python

Image
This article will discuss the following topics, Blogger's REST APIs. Google's OAuth 2.0 playground. Accessing spreadsheet in Python. Creating blogger posts via Python. An experiment to automate blog post creation when you have structured data. I was searching for IFSC codes for some bank transactions and came across Reserve Bank's website, which has a list of Excel files containing Bank Codes, Contact Info and related details of each bank's branch. This time I will be looking towards Bharat co-operative bank of Mumbai. Here is how the corresponding data looks like. In the above picture, each row represents lots of details about each branch of the Bank. Let's think of creating a list of blog posts where each post gives IFSC codes of a particular branch along with address and contact details. As the first step, I have created a blog in blogger. In the Blogger dashboard, please also note the parameter called blog ID which is a kind of unique identifier

Setting up Python Flask server on internet via Port forwarding

Image
In this post we will cover topics; Starting a server using Python Flask. Accessing server in Local Network. Adding a Port Forwarding rule in NAT settings. Accessing server in Internet via public IP. Difference between static IP and dynamic IP. Step 1 :- As the first step, we need to setup a server on our system.A server exposes your code to a particular port.Some examples are Apache Tomcat, Spring boot (inbuilt), Python Django (inbuilt), Nginx. Here we have a simple server in Python Flask. For a GET request in root path the server returns a "Hello World!".That's it. Going to start the server on my local IP address(192.168.1.105) at default flask port(5000) using below commands, $export FLASK_APP=flaskTest.py $flask run  --host=192.168.1.105 Step 2 :- For security purpose all ports for external communication is closed by router's firewall by default. So no communication can be done to outside world. For same reason our server won't be

Hi all, In this article we will learn about, Orphan process in Linux/Unix. How orphan process is created ? Creation of orphan process using python. Usage of python modules - multiprocessing, subprocess Orphan Process :- An orphan process is a child process whose parent got finished or terminated. After the termination of parent process, init process will adopt it. If you look into details, the parent pid(ppid) of an orphan will be 1 which is the pid of init. Sometimes orphan process is intentionally created for certain needs, like if you run an application and you don't want the process created by your application to be killed, even after closing the application. Creation of Orphan process using Python :- Here, we are going to create an orphan process through python code. The logic behind the code is, Create a process using python multiprocessing module and target function will be parent. In parent function another process is spawned, making its target functio
