Application Background: Trying to deploy an automation application where user selects *access file and visualize graphs from the python flask backend calculation.
Locally, Downloaded "Access Driver": https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920 [which ran fine]. But unable to deploy on Azure.
Things that I have tried:
I have tried to run this application using Github CI/CD but with Github actions azure can only give option to run on linux os. which will give me the same error (pyodbc connection)
Build Docker image that could eliminate this error however, when selected 'FROM python:slim-buster' under Dockerfile - It generated docker image with linux which gives the same error.
Also, tried adding windows OS in the Dockerfile using FROM microsoft/nanoserver, still received an error while creating an image.
I am new to all these and think might be making mistakes. Any help will be appreciated.
So After a lot of trial and error, I was able to deploy on windows server on Azure.
What worked:
Deploying application on windows server with ODBC driver (AccessDatabaseEngine.exe). Not the 64bit(AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe).
One can deploy using Docker image also but ** FROM microsoft/nanoserver ** was not able to build any image. Instead try with ** FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 **

I'm new to Docker and have installed docker desktop and signed in. I was given instructions from a colleague to pull an image, as follows:
docker pull petebunting/au-eoed-dev
I tried this on both my windows and Mac machines recently and had no issues. Now the image has been updated, but when I try pulling the latest version of the image I keep getting the error:
unauthorized: authentication required
It begins to pull down the updates but then suddenly stops and produces the above error. This update works fine on my Mac but not on my windows machine. I have tried logging in with both docker desktop and by using docker login but this makes no difference.
I am using windows 10 and powershell
I have searched through similar questions but either my question appears to be different or I do not understand the specifics of the question/answer
So my question is, is there a way to overcome the authentication error I am receiving?
This may be caused by your incorrect host clock: https://github.com/DeepVAC/MLab/issues/60
I'm new to docker, and I work in a corporate environment that is very locked down. In short, I have docker installed on a Windows Server 2016, but I have no access to dockerhub at all and will not be getting access to dockerhub in the near future, and so I cannot rely upon "from microsoft/windowsservercore" in my dockerfile.
Nonetheless, I need to package a .Net server application in a docker image for evaluation purposes. Is it possible to build a windowsservercore image from scratch? I looked for the dockerfile in Github for reference, and while I found the one for dotnet-framework at https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet-framework-docker, I could not locate a windowsservercore docker project there.
Images from the docker hub are often maintained by a wide community and trust-worthy. If you're in a closed network that doesn't allow direct access to the docker hub and you want to run this image on the production server anyway, pull the image on your laptop, then use docker save and docker load to export the image to a tar file and import it on the production machine.

I'm trying to get running a docker support with Visual studio 2017 for a .net core 2.0 web app running on linux containers. I'm working on machine with win 7 OS, so I must use a Docker toolbox with Virtual box. I've already checked this question: How to get docker toolbox to work with .net core 2.0 project, but I got stuck in the following problem, when trying to run it with VS:
Volume sharing is not enabled. Enable volume sharing in the docker ce
for windows settings
So far I know that there is a default volume mounted under the C:\Users, so my project files should be copied somewhere under this folder in case I don't want to mount any other volume. So I copied them there.
When I check the settings of my Virtual box, folder seems to be shared:
I can even cd into this folder with command line, but still can't get over this problem. Any ideas about this?
Finally I got this running. Error message comming from VS is very misleading and it has nothing to do with volume sharing. Eventually I realized that problem is in running a debugger, because when I ran solution with Ctrl + F5 everything was ok and container started correctly. Problem occurred only when running with F5 and trying to attach a debugger.
Then I found some clues in console output. VS tries to download some tooling for debugging containers with powershell script named GetVsDbg.ps1. When running this script I could observe errors like:
Add-Type : Cannot add type. The assembly
'System.IO.Compression.FileSystem' could not be found.
Finally I fixed this issue by updating powershell version which was somehow in collision with my .net framework installed on my machine.
Well in my case it turned out that I had changed my windows password and docker wasn't able to get access.
So it was just
uncheck shared drives
Apply
Check again. Enter new password
restart docker
Below setting helped me getting rid of this error. Check the drive you want to share and click apply. This might ask you your network credential just enter in case it pops up.

I fixed it by running following command in Powershell:
docker network create nat
I got same issue attempting to publish an Azure Function App to a Container Registry.
Newer version of Docker Desktop for Windows 2.3, has new interface. I had to got to Resources|File Sharing and add a new Folder. This resolved that issue...
I am trying to follow these instructions to us the Jenkins Plugin to create Jenkins agents with Azure Virtual Machines (via Azure ARM template).
Azure VM Agents plugin
Under Supported Features, it says:
Windows Agents on Azure Cloud using SSH and JNLP
For Windows images to launch via SSH, the image needs to be preconfigured with SSH.
I am a bit confused by this and I'm not sure what it means.
Does it mean that an SSH Client or Server should be installed on the Windows image?
There doesn't seem to be a option for setting up a Windows Azure VM with SSH access, as there is for a linux VM.
Please can anyone clarify what the set up process is?
(By the way, I have tried an unattended installation of cygwin on the Windows VM to try to run a SSH server, but I am running into a separate problem I am trying to solve. I'd like to know if this is not required.)
Answering my own question now I have got a bit deeper in. In the configuration section of the plugin, under Image Configuration, clicking the help on the launch method clarifies what's required.
It looks like a custom image needs to be custom-prepared with a SSH server pre-installed. However, it also looks like it is possible to launch an image with JNLP instead, so I will try that.
Update
I couldn't get JNLP to work (not sure why) but I did get SSH to work. Ticking the 'Pre-Install SSH in Windows Slave (Check when using Windows and SSH)' box does the trick. There's no need to pre-install on the custom image.
I am trying to create a dev box for SharePoint 2010 Server utilizing the following:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjohnson/archive/2010/10/28/announcing-sharepoint-easy-setup-for-developers.aspx
So first of all this is new to me. I understand that these are instructions are for dual boot in Windows Native, but I am more interested in using a VHD/image of the OS to run on VMWare.
I have tried creating an image of a running virtual machine with sysprep tool, but hit a dead end with capturing the image to a file that I can reference within the running machine to run the scripts against.
I took a look at Diskpart on TechNet, but as I am new to this, I am not sure this is what I want to do?
I tried installing to the local host (virtual machine that is running) and am getting an error there also; fails at Windows Identity Framework.
It is a clean install of Windows 7 (literally nothing else), and the UAC has been disabled.
Is there any insite, help, or advice anyone can provide me regarding this? I would really appreciate it as I have to get working on the development aspects of SP (workflows, web parts,etc), and need a dev env, and I can't seem to get anywhere with this.
Thanks
