How to use a slackbot running on a remote desktop? - python

I have finished building a lab inventory slackbot on python. But the problem is all of the scripts are only running and fully functional on a remote desktop. So while I am logged onto the remote desktop the slackbot works fine but if I disconnect then the slackbot stops responding. To further put this in context even if I disconnect from the remote desktop all programs and applications should still be running. And if you log backon you can see that the slackbot still knows its being invoked on the backend and calls are still being made to the appropriate ports but nothing is being posted or responded. (I've attached a picture of this where you can see from the timestamps the slackbot is still being called). NGROK ConnectionAny idea on how to resolve this?Python Slackbot Connection

Docker stuck \ frozen in "running" status

I have a Docker container running python code on an ubuntu 20 image, the host is also ubuntu 20.
Inconsistently sometimes the container just gets stuck / freezes.
Logs stop being added to the console, the docker's status is "running".
Even when I try to kill the process that runs the python code inside the Docker, it does not affect it, the process does not die.
Restarting the container solves it.
I put a Python code into my service that listens to a specific signal and when I send the signal it should print the stack trace for me, but as mentioned, the processor does not respond to my signals...
Does anyone have an idea what is causing this or how I can debug it?
The problem was that the code used the requests.post function without setting a timeout, the server was probably not available or changed address (Docker's internal network) and it just waited there.

How to run a Django project on Ubuntu in AWS EC2?

I have created a Django application and uploaded in to AWS EC2. I can access the site using public IP address only when I run the python manage.py in AWS command line.
If I close the Putty window, I am not able to access the site. How can I make sure that the site is available always even if I close the command line / putty?
I tried WSGI option but its not working at all. Appreciate your help to give us a solution to run the Python application in AWS.
It happens because you are running the app from within the SSH session, which means that ending the session (SIGHUP) will kill your application.
There are several ways to keep the app running after you disconnect the SSH, the simplest would be to run it inside a screen session and keeping this instance running while disconnecting from SSH, the advantage of this method is that you can still control the app when you are reconnecting to this machine and control the state of the app and also potentially see the logs.
Although it might be pretty cool it's considered a patch, the more stable and solid way would be to create a service that will run the app and will allow you to start, stop and look at logs using the nifty wrappers of systemd.
Keep the process running with screen:
First you'll have to make sure screen is installed (apt-get or yum) whatever suits your desired distro.
Run screen.
Run the app just like you did outside screen.
Detach from the screen session by pressing Ctrl+A and then d.
Disconnect from the SSH and see how the service is still running.
Creating a systemd service is a bit more complicated so try and read through the following manual.

Error: Failed to Write, Broken Pipe when running python script on AWS EC2 instance

I'm new to cloud computing in general, and I've started a free trial with Amazon's Web Services, in hopes of using their EC2 servers to run some code for Kaggle competitions. I'm currently working on running a test Python script for doing some image processing and testing a linear classifier (I don't suspect these details are relevant to my problem, but wanted to provide some context).
Here are the steps I've gone through to run my script on an EC2 instance:
Log in to AWS, and start EC2 instance where I've installed relevant Python modules for my tasks (e.g. Anaconda distribution). As a sidenote, all my data and the script I want to run are in the same directory on this server instance.
SSH to my EC2 instance from my laptop, and cd to the directory with my script.
Run screen to run program in background.
Run script via python program.py and detach from screen session (ctrl + A, D)
Keep EC2 instance running, but exit from SSH session connecting my laptop to the server.
I've followed these steps a number of times, which result in either (a) "Broken Pipe" errors, or (b) in an error where the connection appears to "hang". In the case of (b), I've attempted to disconnect from the SSH session and reconnect to the server, however I am unable to do so due to an error stating "connection has been reset by peer".
I'm not sure if I need to configure something differently on the EC2 instance, or if I need to specify different options when connecting to the server via SSH. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
EDIT: I've been successful in running some example scripts using scikit-learn by setting up an iPython notebook, launching it with nohup, and running the code in a notebook cell. However, when trying to do the same with my Kaggle competition code, the same "hanging" issue happens, and the connection appears to be dropped, causing the code to stop running. The image dataset I'm running the code on in the second case is quite a bit larger than the dataset processed by the example code in the first case. Not sure if dataset size along is causing the issue, or how to solve this.

Connection interrupted when run "indirectly". Bottle.py on Ubuntu

I'm running a local web service on Ubuntu on localhost:8090, written with bottle.py.
The connection uses SSL.
If I execute the main.py file from Nautilus or the terminal and connect to https://localhost:8090 everything works fine.
When I execute it from a link to the file, an .sh script or a .desktop file the server starts running fine, but when I browse to the address firefox says "The connection to localhost:8090 was interrupted while the page was loading"
$telnet 127.0.0.1 8090 gives this:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1...
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$sudo netstat -ntlupp | grep 8090 gives this:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
iptables is default
I've got the feeling it's blocking the connection when the server is executed "indirectly" (link, script or .desktop), since when I actually click on the file or run it through terminal it runs fine.
I don't have a clue on where to prevent it from blocking the connection, though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Any workaround will do, even just pretending the file is being run directly from the user.
Thanks in advance
Watch the server logs.
The major difference between the different methods of invocation probably is the current working directory.
I think that it is unlikely that the network configuration is involved in what you are observing.
Depending on the complexity of your web application it might be that a Python import fails if the main script is not run from the right directory. This would trigger a Python exception, which might lead to an immediate connection reset. I have not worked with bottle, but other Python web frameworks distinguish a development mode in which Python tracebacks are shown in the browser, and a production mode in which an HTTP error is sent to the client.
This is what you should do in order to debug your issue: run your server from a terminal (cd to the right directory, then run python application.py). Carefully watch stdout and stderr of that server process while connecting to the web application with your browser.
Ok, problem solved.
It was actually depending on the current working directory not being the same as the python file running the WSGI server.
If I run the .sh script or the link from the same directory everything works fine, and if I give a cd command in the script everything works smoothly.
Thanks for the help Jan-Philip!
