This is my first go at web development and I've built a flask application which accesses MSSQL data for a small production environment. Building app to Azure web service from my github repository results in a non responsive application as I need to use the pyodbc python library which is built on unixodbc. I know the solution involves running
apt-get install unixodbc-dev
but I am totally unable to access the linux instance through the web SSH as it immediately gives
SSH CONNECTION CLOSE - Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH 172.xxx.xxx.xxxx
I'm struggling to understand where In the portal I can configure the linux instance itself, such as the root user and credentials. Although I'm not sure how this will be of much help as the web SSH doesn't ask for credentials to begin with.
I was prompted for a password when attempting to SSH through my local azure CLI, but again I'm unsure what this password would even be.
