Internal Server Error + uWsgi + Python (While Updating Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04)


When I tried to upgrade my APP server from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 with Python Django application after upgrade Python virtual env is giving the below error for the ./manage.py runserver command.

"ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref"

For solving this error I have done the below fix:

cd my-virtualenv-directory
virtualenv . --system-site-packages


The option --system-site-packages was needed because the application uses python-gtk from Ubuntu. I gues in most other cases it is not needed.


Now after that the first error had gone and the below came up:

ImportError: /environment-path/virt-env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml/etree.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf

For solving this error I have done the below fix:

sudo pip install --upgrade pyOpenSSL cryptography

sudo pip uninstall lxml (Optional if needed only lxml is installed)

sudo rm -rf /environment-path/virt-env//local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml /environment-path/virt-env//local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml-3.5.0.dist-info

sudo -H pip install lxml


To check if its good and fine
************************************
source /environment-path/virt-env/bin/activate


cd /Base folder in the uwsgi.ini file.


./manage.py runserver


If there is no error then it seems to be ok.

That is all,
Cheers.

K8s External Secrets integration between AWS EKS and Secrets Manager(SM) using IAM Role.

What is K8s External Secrets and how it will make your life easier? Before saying about External Secrets we will say about k8s secrets and how it will work. In k8s secrets we will create key value pairs of the secrets and set this as either pod env variables or mount them as volumes to pods. For more details about k8s secrets you can check my blog http://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2020/08/k8s-secrets-explained.html   So in this case if developers wants to change the ENV variables , then we have to edit the k8s manifest yaml file, then we have to apply the new files to the deployment. This is a tiresome process and also chances of applying to the wrong context is high if you have multiple k8s clusters for dev / stage and Prod deployments. So in-order to make this easy , we can add all the secrets that is needed in the deployment, in the AWS Secret Manager and with the help of External secrets we can fetch and create those secrets in the k8s cluster. So what is K8s external Secret? It i...

Password reset too simplistic/systematic issue

Some time when we try to reset the password of our user in linux it will show as simple and systematic as below: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic no matter how hard password you give it will show the same.

Setting /etc/hosts entries during the initial deployment of an Application using k8s yaml file

Some times we have to enter specific hosts file entries to the container running inside the POD of a kubernetes deployment during the initial deployment stage itself. If these entries are not in place, the application env variables mentioned in the yaml file , as hostnames , will not resolve to the IP address and the application will not start properly. So to make sure the /etc/hosts file entries are already there after the spin up of the POD you can add the below entries in your yaml file. cat > api-deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: spec:   template:     metadata:     spec:       volumes:       containers:       - image: registryserver.jinojoseph.com:5000/jinojosephimage:v1.13         lifecycle:           postStart:             exec:               command:...
