In this answer, I will list example documents to understand authorization in Google Cloud and how to call Cloud Functions from App Engine. Read these links/documents and understand how everything works and is connected together. Once you understand the basics, authorization in Google Cloud is very easy to implement and secure.

Step 1 - Understand Authorization in Google Cloud

Google Cloud uses OAuth for most services and APIs. Some services still support API Keys. Read this article to get a foundation of Server/Service to Server/Service Authorization:

Using OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server Applications

Key points to understand are Access Tokens and Identity Tokens. Another token type is the Refresh Token which is primarily used to refresh OAuth tokens created from user credentials.

Step 2 - Understand the JWTs used for Authorization

This article is written for IoT devices but the details are the same/similar for all Google Cloud services. This link includes sample code.

Using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)

Step 3 - Understand Cloud Functions Authorization

Cloud Functions uses OAuth Identity Tokens to authorize requests from other services and users. An OAuth Identity Token is a signed JWT that asserts the identity of the caller. Identity Tokens are signed by a Google owned or managed private key and verified by Google before granting access to the called Cloud Function.

Authenticating Developers, Functions, and End-users

Step 4 - Understand how to call another service from App Engine Standard

Now that you understand how authorization is performed in Google Cloud, you need to understand how to create the token used for authorized calls to your Cloud Function. This article discusses App Identity in Python and how to assert an identity to call Cloud Functions or any Google API/Service from App Engine Standard.

App Identity Python API Overview

Try r.content which is bytes instead of r.text which is a string.

You could achieve that with localstack https://github.com/localstack/localstack. This is assuming that you don't want to have this locally. The services that you mentioned are in the free version of localstack so you should be good to use it.

I think there are some people explaining most of steps a quick search I found this: https://dev.to/goodidea/how-to-fake-aws-locally-with-localstack-27me

/health is a normal healthcheck endpoint that k8s needs.

Flask doesn't print to stdout by default because it buffers lines to make I/O more efficient. You can either call sys.stdout.flush(), print(flush=True), set env var PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 in your Dockerfile (probably the easiest) or just use logging module as we all should.

You can read more about this env var here.

This can be achieved by calling $(flash).parent().remove(); inside of a callback function passed to setTimeout().

The setTimeout() method will call the function you provide after the number of milliseconds specified. Passing 5000 as the second argument would cause the element to be removed after 5 seconds:

You can do this with jQuery. Add an onclick function to the button like so:

And here's the code to delete:

The "/" character is a forward slash. Said this, strict_slashes, which requires that the URL has a trailing slash if set, or requires that the URL does not have a trailing slash otherwise, is enabled by default, causing this issue.

You can disable strict slashes in your entire app by doing:

I turns out, windscribe (vpn) interferes with the connection to the chrome webdriver, I believe it has something to do with its built-in firewall, after uninstalling it, calling sudo apt autoremove -y and a reboot, it works properly!

Edit: I re-installed the VPN (windscribe) and de-activated the included firewall and it worked properly after that.

For anyone else having this issue: I decided on dynamically generating GitHub links and building a function for cloning the repo. There were also some configuration files that get saved outside of the repo before cloning. Once the repo is cloned, the configuration files are moved back into their proper places in the new repo. If anyone else wants more information about this, let me know. I'm glad to share my discoveries!
