failed installing in AKS

[ctmillerlin]

We are installing the Azure naming tool in AKS. But we failed when inputting admin password. Could you help check this?

by checking trace log fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Server.Circuits.CircuitHost[111] Unhandled exception in circuit 'ZBqkfabWaFBr11MunFgu4v9w0VvkMOvJzzgu99inNMI'.

by checking appsettings.json, don't know why there is a ck" in it.

Hi @ctmillerlin,

Thank you for your feedback. I just went through a deployment of the tool to AKS, following this guide Tutorial. I created my own Azure Container Registry and pushed my image to the registry.

When I deployed it, it seemed to work correctly with no errors. In reviewing your error code, it appears as if your appsettings.json does indeed have invalid characters. I'm not sure how that happened but let me explain what happens in the code to hopefully explain how to resolve it.

• The code repo contains a /repository folder that contains the initial configuration files for the site, including a "vanilla" appsettings.json file.
• When the site is first launched, all the files in the /repository folder are copied to the /settings folder.
• The site will generate a random API Key GUID and save it to the /settings/appsettings.json file.
• The site will prompt to set a password. That password is also saved to the /settings/appsettings.json file.
• Any subsequent updates are saved to the /settings version of the settings and configuration files

In the project notes, it's stated that the /settings folder must be mapped to a persistent storage location, so that the settings will be retained when the container is deleted/created.

I'm still not sure how your appsettings.json file got other values (the "ck" text), but you could try one of the following to resolve the issue:

Repeat the process

• Pull the latest source code
• Create and push a new image to your container registry
• Create a new AKS cluster
• Attempt to deploy the site again

Update the appsettings.json file

• In your /settings directory, delete the appsettings.json file
• Access the site and confirm the /respository/appsetting.json file is copied over
• Attempt to access the site again

Hope this helps!

@BryanSoltis Thanks for your reply. Let me try again

@BryanSoltis fixed by removing the appsettings.json file
