Overview

This DAG automatically refreshes Docker ECR (Elastic Container Registry) authentication tokens in Apache Airflow. ECR tokens expire every 12 hours, so this DAG runs twice daily to ensure continuous access to your Docker registry.

Previously there was a Session object with which i can update the database. But now that method is forbidden and the only way is by creating an API user and use to update the connection.

What This DAG Does

The DAG performs three main tasks:

1. Extract ECR Token: Uses AWS boto3 to get a fresh authorization token from ECR
2. Update Docker Connection: Updates Airflow’s docker_default connection with the new token using JWT authentication
3. Test Connection: Validates that the updated connection works properly

Prerequisites

AWS Setup

• AWS account with ECR access
• IAM user/role with ECR permissions:{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ecr:GetAuthorizationToken" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }

Airflow Environment

• Airflow 3.x
• Docker provider package installed
• AWS credentials configured (via IAM role, environment variables, or AWS credentials file)

Step-by-Step Setup

Configure Airflow Variables

Set the following Airflow Variables in the Admin UI or via CLI:

# Via Airflow CLI
airflow variables set ecr_aws_account "123456789012"  # Your AWS account ID
airflow variables set ecr_aws_region_name "us-east-1"  # Your ECR region

Or via Airflow UI:

• Go to Admin → Variables
• Add ecr_aws_account with your AWS account ID
• Add ecr_aws_region_name with your ECR region

3. Create Airflow API Connection

This is required because Airflow do not allow access to the database via the session object. It is something new from Airflow 3.

Create a connection for the Airflow API:

Via Airflow UI:

1. Go to Admin → Connections
2. Click the “+” button to add a new connection
3. Fill in the details:
   • Connection Id: airflow-api
   • Connection Type: HTTP
   • Host: localhost (or your Airflow webserver host)
   • Schema: http (or https if using SSL)
   • Port: 8080 (or your Airflow webserver port)
   • Login: Your Airflow username
   • Password: Your Airflow password

Via CLI:

airflow connections add airflow-api \
    --conn-type http \
    --conn-host localhost \
    --conn-schema http \
    --conn-port 8080 \
    --conn-login your_username \
    --conn-password your_password

4. Docker Default Connection

Create/update the Docker connection that will be updated:

Via Airflow UI:

1. Go to Admin → Connections
2. Click the “+” button
3. Fill in:
   • Connection Id: docker_default
   • Connection Type: Docker
   • Host: Your ECR registry URL (e.g., 123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com)
   • Login: AWS (this will be updated by the DAG)
   • Password: (leave empty, will be updated by the DAG)

Via CLI:

airflow connections add docker_default \
    --conn-type docker \
    --conn-host 123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com \
    --conn-login AWS

Deploy the DAG

1. Copy the DAG code to your Airflow DAGs folder
2. The DAG will appear in the Airflow UI as refresh_docker_token_v4

7. Configure Queues and Pools

The DAG uses a systemqueue pool. Create it:

Via Airflow UI:

1. Go to Admin → Pools
2. Create a pool named systemqueue with appropriate slots (e.g., 5)

Via CLI:

airflow pools set systemqueue 5 "System maintenance tasks"

DAG Configuration

Schedule

• Cron: 55 5,17 * * * (runs at 5:55 AM and 5:55 PM daily)
• Timezone: UTC (adjust as needed)

Key Settings

• Max Active Runs: 1 (prevents overlapping executions)
• Catchup: False (doesn’t backfill missed runs)
• Retries: 2 with 1-minute delay
• Tags: ["airflow", "docker", "ecr"]

• Verify Docker daemon is running
• Check that /var/run/docker.sock is accessible
• Ensure the ECR registry URL is correct

It’s easy. I thought it would be hard.

First lets install the postgres tooling for ubuntu

sudo apt install -y postgresql-common

Then lets add and enable the PostgreSQL APT repository

sudo /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.sh

Install the latest postgresql

apt install postgresql

see all clusters

pg_lsclusters
dpkg --get-selections | grep postgres

there will be new cluster. rename it to main_pristine

pg_renamecluster 17 main main_pristine

Choose which cluster to upgrade

sudo pg_upgradecluster 13 main

Because pg_upgradecluster comes from the new package it will magically creates a new version near the old version and you will have something like :

# pg_lsclusters
Ver Cluster       Port Status Owner    Data directory                       Log file
13  main          5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/13/main          /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-13-main.log
17  main_pristine 5434 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/17/main_pristine /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-17-main_pristine.log

# sudo pg_upgradecluster 13 main
.... a lot of upgrading

# pg_lsclusters
Ver Cluster       Port Status Owner    Data directory                       Log file
13  main          5435 down   postgres /var/lib/postgresql/13/main          /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-13-main.log
17  main          5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/17/main          /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-17-main.log
17  main_pristine 5434 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/17/main_pristine /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-17-main_pristine.log

Notice that the port and everything is in place! Nice!

Finally lets do some cleanup.

pg_dropcluster 13 main --stop
pg_dropcluster 17 main_pristine --stop

This article would be not possible without
https://gorails.com/guides/upgrading-postgresql-version-on-ubuntu-server
https://www.directedignorance.com/blog/upgrading-postgresql-14-to-16-on-ubuntu

I know this article contains a lot of text, but trust me, it’s absolutely worth reading—you’ll become much more productive!

Fixing Incorrect File Paths

Use Case:
You encounter an incorrect file path and need to locate the issue. Instead of scrutinizing the path segment by segment, a more effective approach is to list the path and start trimming it from the end until you find the correct segment.

This method will save you mental effort and reduce eye strain.

Example:
You receive an error when attempting to open the following file:
/home/user/projects/pizza/seed/images/themes/pizza/01.jpg

To resolve the issue:

  ls -l /home/user/projects/pizza/seed/images/themes/pizza/
  ls -l /home/user/projects/pizza/seed/images/themes/
  ls -l /home/user/projects/pizza/seed/images/
  ls -l /home/user/projects/pizza/seed/
  ls -l /home/user/projects/pizza/

Then you can easily spot that the “seed” segment is not “seed” but “seeds”

final check

ls -l/home/user/projects/pizza/seeds/images/themes/pizza/01.jpg

It works!

Use finding instead of scrolling

If you need to locate something, use the “Find” shortcut instead of scrolling and reading. The “Find” command is much faster and allows you to search for variables, class names, or even partial names.

Goto Line Approximately

If your error is on line 459, you can quickly navigate there using a shortcut. Simply type a number close to 459, such as 450, and you’ll instantly see line 459 along with the numbered lines around it.

Use Code Folding

Use Case: To minimize distractions, use code folding to hide parts of the code you’re not currently working on.

Example:

In most code editors, you can collapse code blocks by clicking the small arrow next to the line numbers. This helps you focus on the part of the code you’re currently working on.

Comparing two branches

To compare two branches you can use git diff …branch-name but this will require a lot of effort.

Good way to deal with that is by cloning another copy of the repo and having two repositories locally.

Usually I have “project-name” repositor folder and “project-name-other” repository name.

Then when I want to compare I use some GUI to do the job. Mine is meld.

meld project-name/ project-name-other/

Change directory

Sometimes you want to change directory of a file. My way of doing that is to copy the current opened file path from the editor with a shortcut. Grab the whole file path in the clipboard and then do cdf … like that

cdf /home/user/some-project/some-folder/file_name.extension

Here is how cdf looks like

cdf() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "No file path provided."
        return 1
    fi

    # Join all arguments with spaces
    local full_path="$*"


    if [ -f "$full_path" ]; then
        # If it's a file, extract the directory path
        local dir_path
        dir_path=$(dirname "$full_path")
    elif [ -d "$full_path" ]; then
        # If it's a directory, use it directly
        local dir_path="$full_path"
    else
        echo "The path provided is neither a file nor a directory."
        return 1
    fi


    # Change to the directory
    cd "$dir_path" || {
        echo "Failed to change directory to $dir_path"
        return 1
    }
}

How to setup dbt development environment
with vscode extension

1. Development environment for dbt

To be able to deploy fast in production and development, the configuration for the dbt should be set by environment variables.

This allow us to have quick switch between the profiles, schemas, variables and more..

Why we are doing today is to have an .envrc holding all the configuration for the dbt.

for example in development:

# Snowflake account
export SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT=YOURACCOUNT.us-east-1
export SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE=YOURWAREHOUSE

export DBT_PROFILE=development
export DBT_ROLE=DEVELOPMENT

# Tenant / Used for the query tagging
export TENANT_NAME=CLIENT_NAME

# Source
export DBT_SOURCE_DATABASE=RAW_ZONE
export DBT_SOURCE_SCHEMA=${TENANT_NAME}

# Target
export DBT_TARGET_DATABASE=STANDARD_ZONE_DEVELOPMENT
export DBT_TARGET_SCHEMA=${TENANT_NAME}_${SNOWFLAKE_USER}

Note how we add the SNOWFLAKE_USER to the target schema, so that the users will not override their work in case they want to work on the same client.

To make this work this is what we have added profiles.yml

development:
  target: development
  outputs:
    development:
      type: snowflake
      account: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT') }}"
      warehouse: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE') }}"
      user: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_USER') }}"
      password: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD') }}"
      role: "{{env_var('DBT_ROLE')}}"
      database: "{{ env_var('DBT_TARGET_DATABASE') }}"
      schema: "{{ env_var('DBT_TARGET_SCHEMA') }}"
      threads: 8


production:
  target: production
  outputs:
    production:
      type: snowflake
      account: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT') }}"
      user: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_USER') }}"
      password: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD') }}"
      role: "{{env_var('DBT_ROLE')}}"
      warehouse: "{{ env_var('SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE') }}"
      database: "{{ env_var('DBT_TARGET_DATABASE') }}"
      schema: "{{ env_var('DBT_TARGET_SCHEMA') }}"
      threads: 8

and to glue everything you need to switch to environment variables in the dbt_project.yml. Note that this feature is is not supported on old dbt versions. In the documentation it is written that we can use environment variables in dbt_project.yml

dbt_project.yml

profile: "{{ env_var('DBT_PROFILE', 'development') }}"

vars:
  source_database: "{{ env_var('DBT_SOURCE_DATABASE') }}"
  source_schema: "{{ env_var('DBT_SOURCE_SCHEMA') }}"

So the final command will be:

  export DBT_PROFILES_DIR="."
  dbt --no-anonymous-usage-stats run

While using justfile:

dbt:
  #!/bin/bash
  echo "SOURCE: $DBT_SOURCE_DATABASE / $DBT_SOURCE_SCHEMA"
  echo "TARGET: $DBT_TARGET_DATABASE / $DBT_TARGET_SCHEMA"
  DBT_PROFILES_DIR="{{invocation_directory()}}"

  poetry run \
    dbt --no-anonymous-usage-stats run \
    --fail-fast

2. Setup of the “dbt Power User” vscode extension

Install the “dbt Power User” as usual.

Open the vscode prefferences, as json.

Point the current folder for the profilesDir like this:

"dbt.profilesDirOverride": "${workspaceFolder}",

Associate the sql files to be used as jinja templates.

  "files.associations": {
        "*.sql": "jinja-sql"
    },

And then make sure you are using the correct python environment.

Enjoy the dbt!

Introduction

The “Git Quick” extension for Visual Studio Code is designed to streamline your workflow with Git by providing instant commands for staging, committing, and restoring files directly from the editor. This review explores its main functionalities and benefits, as well as potential areas for future improvements.

Main Features

Instant Staging and Committing

One of the standout features of “Git Quick” is the git-quick-commit command. This command allows you to commit the file currently in focus with remarkable speed. Here’s how it works:

• Automatic Staging: As soon as you invoke the command (from the command palette or shortcut), the extension stages the current file for you.
• Prompt for Commit Message: You will then be prompted to enter a commit message, ensuring that your changes are documented appropriately – and most import with the right scope!
• File Save: If the file has unsaved changes, Git Quick will automatically save it before proceeding with the commit.

This feature is particularly useful for developers who need to make frequent commits without losing focus on their current task.

Quick Restore

The git-quick-restore command is another powerful feature of Git Quick. It allows you to quickly revert the current file to its state at the most recent commit. This is equivalent to discarding all local changes made to the file:

• Instant Revert: With a single command, you can undo any unwanted changes, making it a lifesaver during experimentation or bug fixing.
• No Activation if Unchanged: The command will only activate if there are changes to the file, ensuring that you don’t accidentally revert unchanged files.

Additional Features

• git-quick-checkout: This is an alias for the git-quick-restore command, providing flexibility in how you interact with the extension.
• Multiple Repository Support: If you have multiple Git repositories open, Quick Git will automatically detect and apply the command to the appropriate repository.
• Integration with VS Code Git Extension: It relies on the built-in Git functionality of VS Code, meaning there are no external dependencies to worry about.

User Experience

Quick Git enhances the Git workflow by minimizing interruptions and keeping you in your coding environment. The automatic saving of files and seamless integration with VS Code’s Git extension make it a natural part of the development process.

No Distractions

• Non-Intrusive: The extension won’t activate if the current file hasn’t changed, which prevents unnecessary prompts and distractions.
• Focus Retention: By allowing you to commit or restore files directly from the editor, it helps maintain your focus on coding rather than switching contexts to the terminal or another Git client.

Future Potential

The current feature set of Git Quick is already impressive, but the promise of additional “quick” commands in the future makes it an exciting tool to watch. Potential future enhancements could include:

• Quick Branch Switching: Instantly switch branches without navigating through multiple menus.
• Quick Merge/Rebase: Simplify complex Git operations to a single command.

Conclusion

The Git Quick extension for VS Code is a highly efficient tool for developers looking to speed up their Git workflow. With instant staging, committing, and restoring capabilities, it reduces the friction of version control tasks and keeps you focused on coding. As it stands, it’s a valuable addition to any developer’s toolkit, with promising features on the horizon.

OData – Open Data Protocol :: #api, #REST
🔗 https://www.odata.org/
When talking REST there is a need for standard communication.
OData is a standardization of RESTful APIs, offering a uniform way to query and manipulate data. It provides a rich set of query capabilities directly in the URL, allowing for complex querying, filtering, sorting, and paging without additional
For example encoding the params the same way in the urls:
– $filter: Filter results are based on conditions (e.g., get customers with an email containing “@example.com”).
– $orderby: Sorts results based on specific properties (e.g., order products by price ascending).
– $select: Selects only specific properties of an entity (e.g., retrieve just name and category from products).
– $top and $skip: Limits the number of returned entities (e.g., get the first 10 customers or skip the first 20 and retrieve the rest).
– $expand: Retrieves related entities along with the main entity (e.g., get a customer with their associated orders).
