Puppeteer on Linux Azure Web Apps - azure

I am trying to run the Puppeteer on Linux Azure Web Apps. But log shows
/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-782078/chrome-linux/chrome:
error while loading shared libraries: libgobject-2.0.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
I think it is due to the Linux distribution on Azure. And my question: Is it a dead end or is there something I can do about it?

Looks like the default environments in App Service do not have the necessary dependencies for running headless Chromium. You can, however, run your app on App Service in a custom Docker image the dependencies installed. Here's a good starting point: https://github.com/buildkite/docker-puppeteer

How to deploy Meteor Application on cPanel shared hosting

I am trying to deploy a meteor.js application on cPanel shared hosting. I don't have access to their cli.
I have followed this tutorial Host your Node.js app on Shared hosting. Go beyond localhost.
Now I am having hard time with a couple of things. I can't find any tutorial specific for meteor.js which is why I am facing some issues. Which are as follows
1. Without meteor Build
I uploaded the development version of my code. i.e the one with client,server,lib folders(without meteor build). The problem is that I am not sure about the "Application startup file".
I tried with "./client/main.js" and "./server/main.js" seperately but the site then returns 503.
2. With meteor Build
I then built my application and the build was generated with some errors. I then uploaded the tar.gz file and went with the main.js as Application Startup file. But now the cPanel is unable to detect package.json
Can someone please refer to a full guide of how to deploy a meteor app with cPanel.

CI/CD PHP app with Webpack on Azure Web App

I'm trying to deploy a Laravel + Vue app over an Azure App Service - Web App. It is however very unclear and I cannot find any proper solution inside Microsoft's documentation to get it into working.
'Traditional' deployment workflow
What I typically do to deploy my code (outside CI/CD):
sync Git repository
run composer install
run npm run prod (which is a shorthand for compiling webpack in my case)
Done
There is a really easy approach with a Docker container, where in my Dockerfile I just configure php-apache image with additionally installed Nodejs (w. NPM).
However I would like to find a solution to use Azure's built-in features to configure this deployment. Is it possible?
I can use Windows or Linux Web Apps. No difference for me.
I recommend that you use continuous deployment. For specific operations, you can check the official documentation.
Recommended reason:
As long as it runs successfully locally and continuously deploys through git, the project can be released, and later updates only need to submit code through git.
You can easily view the deployment log in Action in git.
Simple operation and convenient update
Steps:
First, ensure that the project is running normally locally, and create web app services on the portal. (Linux is recommended for the nodejs program, which can avoid many problems caused by dependencies)
According to the official document, in the Deployment Center, select github for release
Check the release information of Action on the official github website and wait for the release to be completed
Note:
If it is a nodejs program or other language program, if the Linux operating system is used, the Startup Command may need to be configured in the Configuration. If the program cannot be accessed normally after release, then try to set npx serve -s (nodejs program, other Language program), and then proceed to restart the webapp.

Selenium Web driver with Azure Web jobs

i have written a C# selenium code which opens browser and takes the screenshot . Code is running fine in my local laptop but when i try to deploy the code on azure webjobs. code fails to run. It may be because of local system has chrome browser installed whereas it is missing from cloud. I have even included the chrome.exe file with my directory but not finding a success. i am stuck and tried many thing but not found a way to proceed .
Selenium is not supported by Azure Web App/Web Jobs currently. It's noted under Unsupported frameworks tags.
Azure Web App sandbox:Unsupported frameworks
Other scenarios that are not supported:
PhantomJS/Selenium: tries to connect to local address, and also uses
GDI+.

Google stackdriver debug not working in Kubernetes

We have a server application based on Python 3.6 running on Google Kubernetes Engine. I added Google StackDriver Debug to aid in debugging some production issues but I cannot get our app to show up in the Stackdriver debug console. The 'application to debug' dropdown menu stays empty.
The kubernetes cluster is provisioned with the cloud-debug scope and the app starts up correctly. Also, the Stackdriver Debugging API is enabled on our project. When running the app locally on my machine, cloud debugging works as expected, but I cannot find a reason why it won't work on our production environment
In my case the problem was not with the scopes of the platform, but rather with the fact that you cannot simply pip install google-python-cloud-debugger on the official python-alpine docker images. Alpine Linux support is not tested regularly and my problem was related to missing symbols in the C-library.
Alpine Linux uses the MUSL C-library and it needs a google cloud debugger specifically built for that library. After preparing a specific docker image for this, I got it to work with the provided credentials.
As an alternative method, you can debug Python pods with Visual Studio code and good old debugpy
I wrote an open source tool that will inject debugpy into any running Python pod without prior setup.
To use it, you'll need to:
Install the tool in your cluster (see Github page)
Run a command locally from a machine with access to the cluster:
robusta playbooks trigger python_debugger name=myapp namespace=default
Port-forward to the cluster (the tool prints instructions)
Attach VSCode to localhost and the port that you're forwarding
This works by creating a new pod on the same node and then injecting debugpy using debug-toolkit

With Windows Azure, can I deploy a node.js server using Dropbox?

There are several tutorials on Azure showing how to deploy a node.js server using git. Azure has a nifty feature where you can link a Dropbox folder to an Azure web site for very simple deployments. Works awesome for websites, but I was hoping it might work for node.js deployments as well.
It doesn't seem to work- the deployment process goes fine, but navigating to the URL of the node.js deployment produces this error:
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Anyone know if it's possible to deploy a node.js server to Windows Azure via Dropbox?
Many thanks-
UPDATE-
Just ran through the deployment logs and found this line:
The package.json file is not present.
The node.js application will run with the default node.js version 0.6.20.
Perhaps that it explains my problem?
from the console and folder type "npm init" to generate package.json
