When running pip freeze > requirements.txt from PowerShell (which is the default terminal on IDEs like PyCharm), you might see the output properly in Windows but may not work properly on Linux. This is because the file is encoded as UTF-16LE and not as UTF-8. To do it properly, the following command works:
pip freeze | Out-File -Encoding utf8 requirements.txt
I recently installed Autodesk Vault Basic 2024 Server and Clients. It seems to be an 'OK' piece of software. Not something like git, just basic check out, check-in and versions. Needed a reliable way to backup the data in it. There is a menu option in the GUI to do just that.
But I wanted precise control over things and wanted to upload to AWS S3. So I decided to write a python code that does just that! Vault server has a command line option to do backups too, that could be used:
Example
Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe -Obackup -BC:\Backup -VUadministrator -VPadmin -VAL -LC:\Backup\BackupLog.txt
Pls check out my code at https://github.com/smtwkla/pyAutoDeskVaultBackup
Configured my SonicWall TZ 370 to connect to AWS Site-To-Site VPN. Does not work even after extensive checking. Not able to ping the VPN even though the tunnel is up and shows up as green. removed all manual config and let the SonicWall firmware's AWS configurator setup the connection. Does not work even then.
Then turned on Asymmetric Route Support in the interfaces T1 and T2 created, in the 'Advanced' tab. Works immediately!
