Deploy a 1Password Connect server on Azure

This worked perfectly! Thank you so much :)

I just did some experimenting with deploying to Azure Web App for Containers. And there are indeed a few caveats.

These are the steps I followed:
1. Create a Web App for the following docker-compose.yml (you can change the compose file for an existing app in Deployment Center):

version: '3.4'
services:
op-connect-api:
image: '1password/connect-api:latest'
ports:
- '8080:8080'
volumes:
- ${WEBAPP_STORAGE_HOME}/op/1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json
- 'data:/home/opuser/.op/data'
op-connect-sync:
image: '1password/connect-sync:latest'
ports:
- '8081:8080'
volumes:
- ${WEBAPP_STORAGE_HOME}/op/1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json
- 'data:/home/opuser/.op/data'
volumes:
data:

2. Go to the details of the App Service. This should look something like this:

3. In Configuration, change WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE to true (or create it if it does not yet exist).
4. Upload the 1password-credentials.json to the op/ directory by using the credentials displayed in Deployment Center -> FTP Credentials.
5. Go to Overview and click Restart.
6. Make a request to the app with a valid token (looking at the original post, it seems like you already got that right).

For me, this resulted in a working Connect instance. Let me know if it also works for you. Some steps were a somewhat concise, don't hesitate to ask for more details if that helps.

Hi,

I wasn't able to get this working on Azure Web App for Containers and instead use a Linux VM.

If this is useful to anyone else.

I used the docker compose and then created a php api that sends curl requests to the localhost:8080 and returns the required data that way.

I am running a Web App for Containers.

System info
System up time: 2.19:44:13.6900000
OS version: Unix 5.4.0.1056
64 bit system: True
64 bit process: True
Processor count: 1
CLR version: 3.1.20

Unfortunately, I am not sure where to run the command. SSH will not work for me. If you have any insights I would be grateful. Much access is denied behind the Azure services.

The documentation states that you can use storage containers as a way to mount persistent data into docker instances but this is only allowed at a directory level. I don't seem to be able to make it work.

Hi @bretthenning,

Thank you for the extra info. The docker-compose.yml looks good at first glance.

Maybe some extra info could help find out what the issue is.

Running this can tell us whether the file is correctly mounted:

docker run -v "D:/home/site/wwwroot/1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json" --entrypoint "" 1password/connect-api ls -al /home/opuser/.op/


Could you share the output of that command?

Also, could you tell me which Azure service you are using to run this on? If it's Azure VM: which OS are you using? This could help me trying to reproduce this issue locally.

Hi @David_ag ,

Here is my docker compose:

version: "3.4"

services:
op-connect-api:
image: 1password/connect-api:latest
ports:
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- "D:/home/site/wwwroot/1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json"
- "data:/home/opuser/.op/data"
op-connect-sync:
image: 1password/connect-sync:latest
ports:
- "8081:8080"
volumes:
- "D:/home/site/wwwroot/1password-credentials.json:/home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json"
- "data:/home/opuser/.op/data"

volumes:
data:

I can get a heartbeat but when I try running anything with the bearer token I get the following message:
{
"status": 500,
"message": "failed to initiate, review service logs for details"
}

The log states:
{"log_message":"(E) Server: (unable to get credentials and initialize API, retrying in 30s), Wrapped: (failed to FindCredentialsUniqueKey), Wrapped: (failed to loadCredentialsFile), Wrapped: (LoadLocalAuthV2 failed to credentialsDataFromDisk), open /home/opuser/.op/1password-credentials.json: no such file or directory","timestamp":"2021-12-04T22:08:26.983980954Z","level":1}

I see that the file is not being found. I have tried several variations but, as of yet, have had no successful. I have also tried using a storage mount on Azure but this is at a directory level and the returned error state: found directory not file.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Hey @bretthenning -

Sorry to hear this is causing trouble for you. Could you elaborate on what you're using for the file storage? Are you talking about mounting Azure Storage as the volume that contains your 1Password-credentials.json file?
