Host a static website in Ubuntu using Nginx

 Install Ngnix Web Server

sudo apt-get install nginx

Controlling Nginx

sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl stop nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Firewall

sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw reload

Nginx Configuration Directory

cd /etc/nginx
sudo cp nginx.conf nginx.conf.bak

sudo nano nginx.conf

Verify this line is uncommented, include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

cd sites-available
sudo nano default

server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; server_name _; root /home/ravi/www/html; index index.html; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } }

Restart Server

Manage logging in python. Suppress and Set Log Level in Python

Example to supress Tensorflow logging

import logging
logging.getLogger('tensorflow').setLevel(logging.ERROR)

To get all the list of available loggers:

import logging
for key in logging.Logger.manager.loggerDict:
    print(key)

Check if MKL is enabled in Tensorflow installation

Check if MKL is enabled in Tensorflow



python -c "import tensorflow; print(tensorflow.pywrap_tensorflow.IsMklEnabled())"




Start Jupyter or Jupyter-lab on startup of ec-2 instance.


Start Jupyter or Jupyter-lab on startup of ec-2 instance.

Edit the crontab by running

sudo crontab -e


and add the following

@reboot su ec2-user -c "/home/ec2-user/.start_jupyter.sh"


Create a file 

vi /home/ec2-user/.start_jupyter.sh

and add the following

cd /home/ec2-user

source /home/ec2-user/.bashrc

source /opt/intel/openvino/bin/setupvars.sh

/home/ec2-user/.local/bin/jupyter notebook --no-browser --NotebookApp.allow_password_change=False --NotebookApp.token="$INSTANCE_ID" --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 > /tmp/jupyter.out 2>&1 &


We can leave this option to true, but changing password is not working...
--NotebookApp.allow_password_change=False because change password is not working. It is a bug in Jupyter. See https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/3842

Give executable file permissions.

chmod 755 .start_jupyter.sh 

Debugging

sudo cat /var/log/cron

Also,

cat /tmp/jupyter.out 


If you want to set password randomly on EC2-Instance:

TOKEN=`curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600"`

INSTANCE_ID=`curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id`


cd /home/ec2-user

source /home/ec2-user/.bashrc

source /opt/intel/openvino/bin/setupvars.sh

/home/ec2-user/.local/bin/jupyter notebook --no-browser --NotebookApp.allow_password_change=False --NotebookApp.token="$INSTANCE_ID" --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 > /tmp/jupyter.out 2>&1 &

Azure VM --os-disk-size-gb partition, format and mount

If you are using Azure VM --os-disk-size-gb parameter to increase the size of the OS disk, you need to partition, format and mount to use it.

Check the current status with
 fdisk -l


 df -Th 


Step 1: Create a partition (See sample output below)
 sudo fdisk /dev/sda
(use n to create new partition, and follow prompts)

Step 2: Refresh partition table
 sudo partprobe

Step 3: Format the new partition, get the name from step 1 or use fdisk -l 
 mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3 

Step 4: Mount 
 mkdir /mnt/shared
 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/shared/  

Step 5: Verify  
 df -Th 

Step 6: Edit the /etc/fstab to automatically mount when restarted 


 vi  /etc/fstab
Append line /dev/sda3 /mnt/shared xfs defaults 0 0  . Please note the filesystem type "xfs" is used as it was formatted in "xfs" in Step 3. You could use other formats as well based on your requirements .
