I'm using Bonobo Git Server. I want to host this application on Azure Website, but there is a disk limitation to ~10gb (Basic plan). This is not enough to host git repositories. I'm thinking if there is any way to use Azure Storage connected to my website to host those repositories?
Currently bonobo application uses local git .exe to perform appropriate processes with repositories. I have no idea how I can make this working with Azure Storage or if it is possible at all.
You won't be able to get git.exe to work with azure storage without mounting it as a normal file system like in Azure Files which won't work in azure Web Apps anyway. You can upgrade to premium and get 500 GB though, so depending on your scenario, you may wanna look into that.

I have an old ASP.NET 4.6.1 app running in a VM on Azure.
I’m trying to create messages in an Azure Storage Queue and nothing is happening when I run it on production VM. However, on my dev machine, it works fine and I can create messages in the same queue that I’m trying to access from the production VM.
The call to the queue is within a try catch block and it’s not throwing any errors.
Another important point is that I had use the old/deprecated WindowsAzure.Storage NuGet package as that’s the one that seems to work on this ASP.NET MVC 4.6.1 app.
Any idea what could be the issue here? Because I don’t see any errors, I’m not sure how to go about fixing this problem.
According to MS Docs, one troubleshooting option you can try is "Redeploy Windows virtual machine to new Azure node"
The doc says,
If you have been facing difficulties troubleshooting Remote Desktop
(RDP) connection or application access to Windows-based Azure virtual
machine (VM), redeploying the VM may help.
Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/redeploy-to-new-node-windows
See also additional troubleshooting steps:
Restart the virtual machine
Recreate the endpoint / firewall rules / network security group
(NSG) rules
Connect from different location, such as a different Azure virtual
network
Recreate the virtual machine
There are various reasons when you cannot start or connect to an application running on an Azure virtual machine (VM). Reasons include the application not running or listening on the expected ports, the listening port blocked, or networking rules not correctly passing traffic to the application.

This might be network Firewall issue. Open azure portal from production vm machine. You can even try to manually see the storage and upload files from web.
I searched a lot to find any source how to publish.net core projects to free hosting (shared) servers. But I couldn't find anything about it.
I don't talk about to publish linux vm servers. Free web servers does not have any console. Are they?
I know they use ftp solutions.I couldn't find any article to publish aspnet core to linux public server via ftp.
Is it possible?
In general, you would just enable port 22 on your hosting site's config, scp your published project to copy it there, then run dotnet restore and dotnet run on your remote server with ssh -t. The particular company you mentioned, 000webhost, only allows ssh on their paid tier, and it looks like they are focused primarily on php and mysql anyways. I would suggest you get an AWS instance, or some other full server hosting company, and move your app there.
I have developed a Dot Net based web application that uses matlab code compiled into dlls and deployed it on local server with 'Matlab' instsalled. It works on local server well. However, I want to deploy it on a hosting domain for ease of access. But I dont know about any hosting providers that support working of matlab dlls with web application. Is there any suggestion about such hosting providers and how should I deploy it on a hosting domain.
PS: on my remote server i had to install Matlab to run that application when deployed on IIS server ie with just mcr instlled the application was not working.
I'm doing it for the first time so I dont know much about it.
On this paper explains how to put matlab on Amazon EC2
Amazon had AMI instances
MATLAB AMI on EC2
The pre-built AMI offerings on Amazon have been depreciated and will no longer be available. You are able to work with Amazon or another cloud service provider to get you own machine instance and use your license there.
To best run MATLAB on a cloud instance, you will need your license configured as a Login Named User (LNU). If you have an Individual or Group license activated as a Standalone Named User , you can configure it as an LNU at [https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/lnu.][3]
Also on windows azure
You can get any host provider with IAAS and apply matlba LNU license
i have a .net solution, with a Mvc 4.5 web, a c# server dll, another webservice layer dll, etc.
I want to deploy it on a azure virtual machine xx.cloudapp.net:8080
There are many guids on how to deploy a new website on azure, but since this solutions contains a lot of dlls, i need a virtual machine.
I didnt found any guide on how to do it, can you please give me a link or something?
You don't have to use Virtual Machines to install DLLs - you can do this with Cloud Services (web/worker role) as well, via startup tasks. As long as these DLLs are easy to fetch (e.g. blob storage) and quick to install, you can take that route. Many do just that, since this allows you to work with stateless OS VMs (where you don't worry about maintaining the OS, or making copies of a VM when wanting to scale out to multiple instances).
That said: To install to a Virtual Machine, you'd typically copy files to your VM somehow (maybe fetching from a CI engine, possibly ftp'ing the files, whatever procedure you'd typically use with a Windows server). And you'd use RDP for gaining access to the desktop.
Once you have the VM set up just how you want it, you can then create an image of the VM and add it to your personal gallery, whereby you can then spin up additional VMs based on that image. Unlike Cloud Services, each Virtual Machine will then take on a life of its own (and live in its own VHD in its own blob), where you'd have to distribute both OS updates and app updates to each VM as the need arises.
I have an existing ASP.NET website that I would like to port to Azure within my free trial.
I would like the migration to be as painless as possible. The application uses log4net and NHibernate, plus it needs to share data with an application supposed to run on a virtual server.
Two questions can be asked as 1
How do I configure paths in Web.config to access a shared drive?
I need to configure the paths into which logs will be stored and, most important, I have to specify where the application will read the files written by the daemon that will run on my Azure Linux VM.
When both the app and the daemon ran on the same server (yes, I had Mono running fine) I just had to choose a shared local directory.
I'm not sure I'm totally understanding the scenario, but I'll try to give you a few options.
One - Windows Azure Web Sites (currently in Preview) could be a great option for your ASP.NET site. Of course, it depends what needs your site has. But, you can write your log4net files with web site and using NHibernate too.
Two - Web roles work great for situations like this. You would likely have to change some code to use blob storage for persistant file storage. You could use Windows Azure drives as a way to get a persistent location for log files. Windows Azure drives don't have a pre-determined drive letter, so you'd want to use the API to get to that. That may, or may not, be a good option for your situation. With web roles you could also write the log4net files to local storage and use Windows Azure diagnostics to transfer them periodically to blob storage. Just another way to persist the files.
Three - Using Windows Azure Virtual Machines (currently in Preview) you could write the log files to a data disk, which is backed by blob storage.
In the end, if you have files you need to share across instances and/or roles, then leveraging blob storage is likely your best option.
