Session Goal: The session aimed to develop and troubleshoot scripts for managing Mapbox styles using Python and JSON, and to address common web development and command-line issues.

Key Activities:

  • Implemented a Python script to save and update Mapbox style information in JSON format, leveraging the Mapbox API for style management.
  • Created functions to handle API responses and ensure correct updating or creation of style information.
  • Provided a JavaScript template to load JSON data into HTML using the Fetch API, addressing CORS errors by setting up a local web server with Python.
  • Explored command-line utilities to filter SSH command history, troubleshoot command history issues, and search through Bash history files.
  • Addressed SSH connection timeout issues and ping command troubleshooting by examining network and firewall configurations.

Achievements:

  • Successfully developed a comprehensive script for Mapbox style management, including error handling and JSON data integration in web environments.
  • Resolved CORS issues by implementing a local web server setup.
  • Enhanced command-line troubleshooting skills, particularly in filtering and searching command history, and resolving SSH and network issues.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further testing and validation of the Mapbox style management script in different environments.
  • Continuous monitoring and refinement of troubleshooting procedures for command-line and network issues.
