Want to access a file which is in another docker container from anotherdocker container using python code
We have two docker containers. The first container is backend_device_service which we access using the command -> docker exec -it backend_device_service bash. On this backend_device_container we write our python code. Now I am writing an API which needs to access a file which is on another container rsyslog (server is same just the container is different). We access this container using the command -> docker exec -it rsyslog bash In this container at the path -> /var/log/CPE my file contains which I need to access. However I can access any path in the same container using the following piece of code:- class SysLogReader(APIView): authentication_classes = [JWTAuthentication] permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] def get(self, request): content = os.popen('cat /app/sdwan_device_service/devices/views').read().strip('\n').lower() logger.info(f"\ncontent of the file:\n {content}\n") dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) resp = {"success":True, "message" : f"Directoty path is {dir_path}"} return Response(resp, status=status.HTTP_200_OK) While my problem is how to access the file which is in another container rsyslog. -

Cart functionality in django
I'm building an ecommerce platform and I want to create the add to cart functionality in the website. But for some reason the quantity is not updating. Here's the views.py: def cart_detail_view(request, product_obj=None): if request.method == 'POST' and request.POST.get('action') == 'create-cart_product': cart_product_form = CartProductForm( request.POST, ) if cart_product_form.is_valid(): try: cart_product_obj = CartProduct.objects.get( product=product_obj, cart__id=request.session.get('cart__id'), ) cart_product_obj.quantity += cart_product_form.cleaned_data.get('quantity') except CartProduct.DoesNotExist: cart_product_obj = cart_product_form.save(commit=False) cart_product_obj.product = product_obj cart_product_obj.cart_id = request.session.get('cart__id') cart_product_obj.save() messages.error(request, 'something is wrong') return redirect('webshop:cart_detail_view') context = { 'cart_product_form': cart_product_form, } return render(request, 'webshop/cart_detail_view.html', context) This is my forms.py file class CartProductForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(CartProductForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['quantity'].choices = tuple([(i, i) for i in range(1, 7)]) class Meta: model = CartProduct fields = ( 'quantity', 'product', ) widgets = { 'quantity': forms.Select(), 'product': forms.HiddenInput(), } I need to update quantity in my views but I don't understand how I am gonna do that? -
How to filter django queryset based on the serializer field value?
serializer class MyModelSerializer(serailizers.ModelSerializer): hrs = serializers.SerializerMethodField() get_hrs(self, obj): datetime = SomeModel.objects.filter(id=obj.id).last().datetime now = datetime.now() return (now - datetime).total_seconds() // 3600 class Meta: model = MyModel fields = "__all__" Now in the api there will be a filter paramter hr what it need to do is filter the queryset matching this above calculated hr. For example: @api_view(["GET"]) def get_list(request): qs = MyModel.objects.all() hr = request.GET.get("hr") if hr: qs = qs.filter(hrs=hr) # hrs is not inside model return MyModelSerializer(qs, many=True).data Here hrs is not there inside the Model it's a serializer field above calculated. How can I filter like this from serialzier fields ? Any gudiance would be very helpful. -
Why does changing my render request in views.py break my ability to import images in my base.html?
In my views.py, I have a function for my homepage; @login_required(login_url="/login") def home(request): user_object = User.objects.get(username=request.user.username) user_profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user_object) posts = Post.objects.all() return render(request, "main/home.html", {'user_profile': user_profile}) #This is the problem line and my HTML runs perfectly; <body> <header> <div class="container"> <img src="{% static 'css/images/uReflect.png' %}" alt="logo" class="logo"> <nav> But when I change my home function in views.py to the code below, my page stops working. I have no idea how an error with 'post.image' would correlate to me accessing my images that are independent of posts, and exist in a separate folder. The weirdest part to me is how the error says "NoReverseMatch at /home" but the error doesn't even occur in home.html, it occurs in base.html. Although, home.html does extend base.html; @login_required(login_url="/login") def home(request): user_object = User.objects.get(username=request.user.username) user_profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user_object) posts = Post.objects.all() return render(request, "main/home.html", {'user_profile': user_profile, 'posts': posts}) # Change made here with posts -
Django: query filter
I have two models that are related: one is a list of participants. The other is a list of times they have checked in or out of an office. The table (Checkin) has one record for every checkin/checkout pair. So, there can be many records for any participant. How can I retrieve only the very last (most recent) record for a participants checkin and then pass the participant and only that most recent Checkin record to my template? From what I can tell there's no ability to do something like a last() in my template, so how would I go about filtering to get just that single record? Thank you. Models: class Participant(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) middle_initial = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True) class CheckIn(models.Model): adult = models.ForeignKey( Participant, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True, related_name='adult_checkin') checkin = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) checkout = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) View snipit: p_checkins = Participant.objects.all().order_by('created') queryset = p_checkins context_object_name = "the_list" template_name = 'list_of_checkins.html' -
Is it better to use JsonField or multiple model fields for a Django Model?
For example, class TestModel(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) descriptions = models.JsonField() Or class TestModel(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) description_1 = models.TextField() description_2 = models.TextField() description_3 = models.TextField() description_4 = models.TextField() description_5 = models.TextField() Assume that I have a limited (max 5) number of descriptions. Which approach is better and would be considered as good practice? -
Django server: execute a function once a day
I have a django server which uses a another api to use its resources. In order to use the api, i need to pass access token. And I have refresh token which expires after two weeks. What I want to do is to define a function that checks if refresh token expires that day and if so, update tokens. Most importantly, I want to call that function once a day. I can do that with setInterval in javascript, but what is the most efficient and safest way to implement that feature with python ? -
keep getting bad request when I try to upload image to Django using react native camera
I am trying to make a camera app using react native and send the image to backend using Django. here is the code for taking picture and update it on Django. I tried PUT and POST method. const [image, setImage] = useState(null) const takePicture = async() => { // setimage(null); if(camera){ const options = { base64: true, quality: 0.5 } const data = await camera.takePictureAsync(options) setimage(data.uri); const upload = new FormData(); upload.append('name', '') upload.append('image', image); console.log(upload); fetch("http://192.168.0.154:8000/API/getObjectProperties/object/1/" , { method: 'PUT', // headers: { // 'Content-Type': 'application/json' // }, body: upload } ).then( (res) => res.json()).catch( (error) => console.error(error)); } } const takePicture = async() => { // setimage(null); if(camera){ const options = { base64: true, quality: 0.5 } const data = await camera.takePictureAsync(options) setimage(data.uri); const upload = new FormData(); upload.append('name', '') upload.append('image', image); console.log(upload); fetch("http://192.168.0.154:8000/API/getObjectProperties/object/1/" , { method: 'PUT', // headers: { // 'Content-Type': 'application/json' // }, body: upload } ).then( (res) => res.json()).catch( (error) => console.error(error)); } } but I keep getting bad request although it works when using postman. bad request the FormData is it because it cannot read the file from the camera.takePictureAsync() as it is like "file:///data/user/0/host.exp.exponent/cache/ExperienceData/%2540anonymous%252FThesisApp-1fe17b3a-01c2-46c4-953e-6368f5dc1eeb/Camera/d909cdfe-9d40-4788-a212-63780d715321.jpg" instead of just d909cdfe-9d40-4788-a212-63780d715321.jpg? is there any solution … -

connect `sqlachemy` to the django db
Is there a way to connect sqlalchemy to the django db? I am running a django test where a test database is created connection._connections.settings['default'] gives: {'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql', 'NAME': 'test_db', 'USER': 'postgres', 'PASSWORD': 'qwertyu', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'PORT': '5432', 'ATOMIC_REQUESTS': False, 'AUTOCOMMIT': True, 'CONN_MAX_AGE': 0, 'OPTIONS': {}, 'TIME_ZONE': None, 'TEST': {'CHARSET': None, 'COLLATION': None, 'MIGRATE': True, 'MIRROR': None, 'NAME': None}} But if I try to connect to this database using sqlalchemy: user = settings.DATABASES['default']['USER'] password = settings.DATABASES['default']['PASSWORD'] database_name = settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'] database_url = 'postgresql+psycopg2://{user}:{password}@localhost:5432/{database_name}'.format( user=user, password=password, database_name=database_name, ) engine = create_engine(database_url, echo=False) a completely new database is created. So any data inserted using model.bulkcreate() live is a different database than the one created by sqlalchemy. I would like to be able to use both. I want to use sqlalchemy for long time series (1M to 10M rows) where model.bulkcreate() is taking very long. I find it weird that the engine of connection is 'django.db.backends.postgresql', while the engine of sqlalchemy is postgresql+psycopg2 or postgresql. Is there a way to connect connection with sqlalchemy? thanks -
How to make Apache pass through basic auth to Django?
How do you configure Apache to pass through all basic authentication requests so that they're handled by a Django WSGI site Apache's hosting? I've implemented a basic authentication handler directly in Django, based on this snippet, so that it integrates easily with the built-in admin app, and is more easy to unittest and integrate with my Django application's custom logging. This works perfectly when run from the devserver. Unfortunately, I'm finding that when run from behind Apache, the default Apache config denies all basic authentication requests, and doesn't bother to send them to Django. These docs recommend some ways to setup conventional Apache basic auth configs, but they all assume a hard-coded path and special permissions for this distinct site, which has to be setup to explicitly do the credential checking with data passed from Apache. I have application logic that dynamically determines the paths that should be tested for basic auth, and therefore need to be handled by Django, and never by Apache so I don't want Apache to do anything for basic authentication. I just want it to pass through the request, and let Django worry about checking credentials, and then returning a 401 response. I can't find … -
How to extract text from a word doc textbox using Python/Django and docx

Appreciate any help, tips or libraries i can use side note: the Aspose library does both, but the $1000 license fee is just too much for this project.

How to access the filtered list of related objects when using FilteredRelation?
I have a list of Funds that I have to query by their related model Commitment (as in "return the funds in which associated commitments fill this criteria). I need to annotate each fund with an aggregation over the filtered commitments, as well as access each item in the filtered relation. I'm trying to use FilteredRelation: funds = Fund.objects.annotate( f_commitments=FilteredRelation( "commitments", condition=Q(pk="c40ae23d-50ee-47c5-9397-c1670098ecd9") ) ) I'm trying a basic query just to test the filter. The query runs, but the funds it returns don't have a f_commitments attribute as it usually does with annotations: AttributeError: 'Fund' object has no attribute 'f_commitments' Is there something wrong with the query or FilteredRelation don't support accessing the filtered items directly?
