Sometimes, it's crucial to know the underlying operating system running your Azure App Service. This can help you address compatibility issues during development before deploying to Azure. Unfortunately, Microsoft's documentation does not specify the exact operating system name and version of the Web Worker that runs your application. So, it's up to us to determine this information.
In my previous blog post, "How to List All Files in a Public Azure Storage Container", I demonstrated how to use the Azure REST API to retrieve a comprehensive list of all file information in a public Azure Storage container without requiring any keys or authentication. Leveraging this method, you can easily create scripts to download all files from a public Azure Storage container without the need to install any additional tools. In this post, I will share PowerShell and Python scripts to do that.
Typically, we use the Azure SDK to upload files to Azure Blob Storage, as it is the easiest method supported by Microsoft. However, there are situations where the Azure SDK might not be available. So, how can we still upload files to Azure Blob Storage in such cases? In this post, I will guide you through the steps to upload files to your Azure Storage Account without using the Azure SDK.
In my ASP.NET Core project, I encountered an issue where files from the tinymce NuGet package were not being copied to the wwwroot\lib directory during the build process, despite referencing both tinymce and Moonglade.MonacoEditor packages. Each package included a .targets file with a Target named CopyScriptsToProject, resulting in a conflict where the latter target overwrote the former, causing only Moonglade.MonacoEditor files to be copied. To resolve this, I renamed the targets in each .targets file to ensure uniqueness.
I discovered a website that serves its files from an Azure Storage blob container. I'm curious about the contents of this directory. However, Azure Storage Accounts, when used as web servers, do not support "directory browsing." Is it still possible to list all the files in the directory? Let's see. To list all the files in a public Azure Storage Blob container, we can use send HTTP requests to the Azure Storage REST API, or use Azure CLI and Azure SDK. Let's begin with the most easy way.
big-AGI, the AI suite for professionals that need function, form, simplicity, and speed. Powered by the latest models from 12 vendors and open-source servers, big-AGI offers best-in-class Chats, Beams, and Calls with AI personas, visualizations, coding, drawing, side-by-side chatting, and more. However, the official repository of big-AGI does not offer a one-click installation for Azure, and the built-in authentication is only basic username and password. In this post, I'll share how to deploy big-AGI to Azure without the need to create a VM, and setup access control that requires individual accounts in Entra ID to log in, without making any changes to the code.
Azure App Service defaults to UTC time, causing issues for legacy applications designed for specific time zones, such as Japan. These apps often use `DateTime.Now`, resulting in incorrect data when deployed on Azure. While the server time zone can't be changed directly in Azure App Service, this article will guide you on how to adjust the time zone to ensure your legacy applications run correctly.
Although Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and Firefox store encrypted passwords in the user profile location, these can be easily decrypted by another program without requiring user authentication or approval. Consequently, an untrusted program, not flagged by Microsoft Defender or other security software, can easily access your passwords. Let's check out the simplest method to prevent this. …
By default, resources served from an Azure Storage Account do not include the X-Content-Type-Options header in their responses. This omission can pose a security risk. In this blog post, let's check out how can we solve this problem within a few steps without any code modifications. …
I own a Windows 11 PC equipped with an RTX 4070 GPU and would like to use its power for local AI applications. There's a clear need for a simpler way to leverage AI technology for beginners and non-tech users. In this guide, I'll walk you through the essential steps to get your AI model up and running on a Windows machine with a interactive UI in just 30 minutes—no advanced expertise required. …
