Debugging a Travis CI process? - gdb

I am trying to figure out why my Travis CI tests fail here. It looks like an infinite loop in one of the programs and I'm eager to run gdb there and take a look inside. I assume that the Travis instance is behind NAT, so just connecting to a GDB server would be complicated. Is there a way to make the gdb server connect to me? Do I have any alternatives?

Here's what I found:
https://github.com/fniephaus/travis-remote-shell
This is a project that uses Ngrok to open a TCP port and then creates a reverse shell there. I hadn't tried it though.

Get err_connection_refused accessing django running on wsl2 from Windows but can curl from Windows terminal

I got the err_connection_refused when trying to accessing django running on wsl2 (http://localhost:8000) from Windows but when I use curl http://localhost:8000 from Windows terminal bash, it's working fine. I have tried to add a new firewall inbound rule for port 8000 but it's still not working. Is there anything else I need to take care of.
Thanks a lot
Seems like a forwarding problem. WSL2's interface is NAT'd, whereas WSL1 was bridged by default. WSL seems to do some "auto-forwarding" of ports, but only on localhost. However, sometimes this auto-forwarding mechanism seems to "break down". The main culprit seems to be hibernation or Windows Fast Startup (which are both closely-related features).
Does the problem resolve if you do a wsl --shutdown and then restart the WSL2 session? If so, try disabling Windows' Fast Startup. I already had Fast Startup disabled due to a different (non-WSL issue) on my system, so that could be related to why I am not able to reproduce.
Along the same lines, do you Hibernate instead of powering off? In that case, a wsl --shutdown might resolve as well.
For future readers, note that the above two points seem to resolve the issue for most people who have upvoted and responded in the comments. However, if that does not work for you, the following were my original "additional suggestions":
For some additional ideas, see this github issue. There are some suggestions on services that might be needed. (Side question - Are you running Windows Home or Professional?)
Is there any chance that your Windows hosts file (e.g. c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) points localhost to an IP other than 127.0.0.1? If I attempt to access via my local Windows IP address, rather than 127.0.0.1 or localhost, I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED as well.
Since you were looking at the firewall rules, maybe look at a forwarding rule instead of just an inbound allow?
If all else fails, try exporting/backing up the WSL2 session (see wsl --export), then import it in as a new WSL1 session. See if it works there.
On my WSL2/Ubuntu 20.04 system, I attempted to reproduce (but haven't been able to yet) with the following steps:
mkdir -p ~/src/dj-test
cd ~/src/dj-test
python3 -m venv dj
source dj/bin/activate
pip install Django
django-admin startproject config .
python manage.py runserver
(although I used activate.fish since I'm running the fish shell)
From Vivaldi web browser in Windows, accessed localhost:8000, which returned "The install worked successfully! Congratulations! ..."
curl under Powershell Core worked as well.

Port forward webserver with SSH thru python 3.6

I have a webserver running which is built with python flask but the the problem is that the server is only running locally.
The solution that I managed to execute was to use the website https://serveo.net which gave me the posibility to broadcast it out on the web. I am running ”ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:8080 serveo.net” thru subprocess.Popopen() which works great.
But is there any options to use this in native python?
I was thinking about the modules paramiko or sshtunnel but no luck to figure it out.
So, any help would be appreciated about how to run ”ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:8080 serveo.net” without the shell.
Thanks
I am for now going to keep on using subprocess for this purpose and I do have a SSH.exe in my project directory which is what I am going to run to make sure that it is cross windows machine compatable.
But give me a headsup for better solutions.

Is it possible to SSH in AWS instances using any IDEs such PYCHARM?

I am stuck in a technical issue on a project and I think you the forum could help me out.
I have an EC2 Instance Type:p2.xlarge running on AWS, I cloned a repository in this instance which requires pytorch and cuda dependencies(this point has been taken care of).
Now, The issue is that I wanna work & run this code-base(which is is AWS instance now) somehow in my local pyCHARM IDE. In short, I didn't have proper resources on my laptop to run the repository, so I have to run in an AWS instance but for debugging purposes the local IDE would be a great option.
Is it possible to do that?. In other words, we can do SSH into AWS instance and run code, but all will be done through command line, if we could SSH through PYCHARM and can see the code in AWS here in local machine within PYCHARM and change, debug or run it as it was local but actually it gets executed in the instance.
Please suggest a solution to it.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT-1:
After following, #Cromulent suggestion, I have arrived here
Setting the remote:
Upload happening within the local & remote repo.
I still didn't understand the requirement of syncing the local and remote folders, when I only want to open the remote folder in my PYCHARM IDE and work on it.
I think after this setup, I have to change the code in local copy and the PYCHARM will sync the code in remote copy. How will I be running(using resources-GPUs of the remote Instance, not my local machine.) the remote code in PYCHARM in this scenario, I am just syncing it, for running again I have to ssh through command line and run the script(This does not serve the purpose)?
EDIT-2:
After #Cromulent suggestions.
Actually, it did work, but still, I am not able to run the remote code locally.
I am getting the below error while running any remote script. If I run the same script using ssh in the terminal, the scripts run normally. I tried to fix the problem using this post on StackOverflow, but it didn't work too.
ssh://ubuntu#ec2-52-41-247-169.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:22/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin/python -u <08ad9807-3477-4916-96ce-ba6155e3ff4c>/home/ubuntu/InsightProject/scripts/download_flownet2.py

The below is the screenshot for the above problem:
PyCharm Professional supports remote Python interpreters (either the globally installed Python interpreter or a virtualenv). It works by creating an SSH connection to the server and then running the code on the remote host. The results are then displayed locally in PyCharm Professional. You can also do remote debugging as well.
You MUST be using the professional version of PyCharm though. The free community version does not support this feature.
You can find the documentation here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-remote-interpreters-via-ssh.html
One more solution is to deploy a Jupyter Notebook on your remote server. Then you will be able to use it from PyCharm Professional Edition.
Don't forget to make rules for the jupyter ports (e.g. allow all 8888) in your AWS console and in your instance.
To configure a remote interpreter for your notebook do this (source):
Open the Jupyter Notebook page of the Settings/Preferences dialog.
On this page, select or clear the Markdown cells rendering enabled option, and specify the username and password. Note that for the
single-user notebooks these fields are optional - leave them blank.
Fill in the username (for JupyterHub) and password.
Click the link Configure remote interpreter. You'll find yourself at the Project Interpreter page.
Configure the remote interpreter, as described in the section Configuring Python Interpreter.
You will want to configure a remote interpreter.
I tried the above approach but it didn't work for me. I have edited my post so that I can get additional input from the community, but I didn't any after the first answer was posted.
My friend actually figured out a secondary way to fix the issue. He actually uses "NOMACHINE" on the local machine and open connection to the remote desktop. Then you can directly install PYCHARM in the remote machine and work in there. I hope this will help others.
The solution is in his blog post. (Thanks to Shaobo Guan)
Another solution would be to use VNC instead of NoMachine

executing python script for ssh connection not working

I tried to execute a python script that will extablish an SSH connection but it won't work. It is successful when i do it manualy over the python shell, though.
I run a packet capture and i saw that my client machine is resetting the connection for some reason. is it a bug or it just wouldn't work with python2.7?
please help.
Thanks,
Richard
We don't have much information since you didn't send any code, however did you check your firewall parameters ? Maybe your software is not allowed to run the connection

Debug Django code in Docker

I want to debug my Django code running through docker container. Is it possible with PDB, PYCHARM debugger or with another technique?
It was made possible in pycharm pro 2017.1 and up.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/docker.html
Good luck!
Ofcourse its possible, with any remote debugger (quick Google search - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/remote-pdb) you just need to take care of networking and connect to the debugger's port (e.g. docker run -p ...)
