Import cv2 in Azure WebApp

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to use OpenCV in an Azure Linux WebApp. The application is deployed by a local Git repository, and it works just fine in local computer.

When I load it to the azurewebsites it returns "Service unavailable". I've seen in the LogFiles that the error is the following:

"ImportError: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I've already tried to install the libglib2.0 package in many folders, and I've also tried to copy the file libgthread-2.0.so.0 in PATH folders, and it keeps returning the same issue.

Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

What specific image are you using? I suggest you use WebApp for containers and bring your own container, it’s the same flow during creation but just that you have to choose docker or another container registry. Take a look at the blog https://prmadi.com/playing-piano-python-app-in-azure-app-services-linux/ which has a sample Flask app just as a reference.

 
Additionally, checkout the blog and the document below for the process:

Install Python Modules on Azure App Services
Publish to App Service on Linux using Git deploy

Did you find a solution to this?  Do did you build a custom container?
