Minimal working example for testing Azure SQL connectivity in Django.
- Install dependencies and set up
Install dependencies:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-venv python3-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
Install the MS SQL odbc driver: (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15#ubuntu17)
sudo bash -c "curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -"
sudo bash -c "curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install msodbcsql17
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
Set up environment variables for virtualenv:
echo 'export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON='/usr/bin/python3'' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
echo "export WORKON_HOME=${HOME}/.virtualenvs" >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
Create the virtualenv, copy the .env file and install the python packages:
cd python-azuresql-mwe
mkvirtualenv azure-sql-mwe
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a .env file with the configuration of your Azure SQL db: cp .env.example .env nano .env
In this file, update the variables to have the correct values:
AZURE_AZURE_SQL_DATABASE="DBNAME"
AZURE_SQL_USER="USERNAME"
AZURE_SQL_PASSWORD="PASSWORD"
AZURE_SQL_HOST="domain.com"
AZURE_SQL_PORT="1433"
AZURE_SQL_DRIVER="ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server"
Initialize the database:
python3 ./djangoazuresql/manage.py makemigrations
python3 ./djangoazuresql/manage.py migrate
- Run the application
Run the application using the following commands:
workon azure-sql-mwe
python3 ./djangoazuresql/manage.py runserver
Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000
- Deploy to Azure
Install the Azure-cli tooling:
Add your proxy's certificate to Azure-cli's cacert bundle:
sudo cp /opt/az/lib/python3.6/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem /opt/az/lib/python3.6/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem.original
echo -e "# My Proxy Proxy Cert\n# Installed on $(date +'%Y-%m-%d')" > /tmp/my_proxy_cert.pem
cat "${path_to_proxy_cert}" >> /tmp/my_proxy_cert.pem
sudo bash -c "cat /tmp/my_proxy_cert.pem >> /opt/az/lib/python3.6/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem"
Log in to Azure with az: az login az account set -s "NAME OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION"
Publish the Web App:
az webapp up --resource-group "NAME OF YOUR RESOURCE GROUP" --sku B1 --name "NAME OF YOUR APP SERVICE"
