📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal: The session aimed to diagnose and correct configuration issues related to MySQL and OAuth setups in a Docker environment, ensuring proper backend connectivity and OAuth functionality.
Key Activities:
- Diagnosed MySQL configuration errors preventing backend connection and provided corrective actions.
- Configured MySQL Docker container ports, focusing on port binding issues and solutions.
- Reconnected a MySQL Docker container to port 5455, replacing the default 3306.
- Analyzed MySQL configuration, highlighting successful elements and areas needing attention, including OAuth settings.
- Set up Google OAuth for local development, creating credentials in Google Cloud Console.
- Validated local OAuth setup using Google client credentials and YAML configuration.
- Diagnosed issues with empty OAUTH_CONFIG and provided a step-by-step diagnostic approach.
- Debugged YAML configuration issues preventing the ‘oauth’ block from loading into CONFIGS.
- Addressed configuration initialization issues in a deployed Flask app, ensuring CONFIGS are correctly loaded.
- Resolved missing configuration file issues in a notebook environment, ensuring proper parsing of the ‘oauth’ block.
- Conducted server diagnostics, identifying closed ports causing failed HTTP requests.
Achievements:
- Successfully corrected MySQL configuration and Docker port binding issues, ensuring backend connectivity.
- Established a functional Google OAuth setup for local development.
- Resolved YAML configuration issues, ensuring proper loading of OAuth configurations.
- Identified and addressed server issues related to closed ports.
Pending Tasks:
- Further monitoring of server port configurations to prevent future connectivity issues.
- Continuous validation of OAuth configurations in different environments to ensure robustness.
