I'm using azurite and azure storage explorer for local development. I have the devstoreaccount1 account by default with key Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw== and the blob,queue,table running on port 10000,10001,10002.

Now I want to test moving a file from one storage account to another storage account. The code for doing that I already have but I need some help to create another storage account running in parallel with devstoreaccount1

I tried to do something like this in a command prompt. It was mentioned in this

set AZURITE_ACCOUNTS="devstoreaccount1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;account1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="

but it didn't work. I only see the devstoreaccount1 in azurite. Also when I close the command prompt the env I set is lost when I do a echo

Can someone give me a step by step approach. I couldnt find any video or proper step by step walkthrough

Now I want to test moving a file from one storage account to another storage account. The code for doing that I already have but I need some help to create another storage account running in parallel with devstoreaccount1.

In my environment, I executed the below command to have 2 accounts in 1 Azurite instance.

Command:

C:\Windows\System32>setx AZURITE_ACCOUNTS "devstoreaccount1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;account1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="

SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.

C:\Windows\System32>echo %AZURITE_ACCOUNTS%
devstoreaccount1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;account1:Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==

And I'm running the Azurite.

C:\Windows\System32>azurite --silent
Azurite Blob service is starting at http://127.0.0.1:10000
Azurite Blob service is successfully listening at http://127.0.0.1:10000
Azurite Queue service is starting at http://127.0.0.1:10001
Azurite Queue service is successfully listening at http://127.0.0.1:10001
Azurite Table service is starting at http://127.0.0.1:10002
Azurite Table service is successfully listening at http://127.0.0.1:10002

Now, Verify Accounts in Azure Storage Explorer:

Connect with Local storage emulator

Like same I created connection for account1 in my environment.

Now I using below code i can copy file from one storage account to another storage account.

Code:

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient

# Source (devstoreaccount1) credentials
source_account_name = "devstoreaccount1"
source_account_key = "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="
source_blob_endpoint = f"http://127.0.0.1:10000/{source_account_name}"  # Azurite's default Blob service endpoint for source account

# Destination (account1) credentials
destination_account_name = "account1"
destination_account_key = "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="
destination_blob_endpoint = f"http://127.0.0.1:10000/{destination_account_name}"  # Azurite's default Blob service endpoint for destination account

source_connection_string = f"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName={source_account_name};AccountKey={source_account_key};BlobEndpoint={source_blob_endpoint}"
destination_connection_string = f"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName={destination_account_name};AccountKey={destination_account_key};BlobEndpoint={destination_blob_endpoint}"

source_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(source_connection_string)
destination_blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(destination_connection_string)

source_container_name = "mycontainer"  # Replace with your source container name
destination_container_name = "testcontainer"  # Replace with your destination container name (can be same as source)

# Source blob name to copy
source_blob_name = "seed.txt"  # Replace with the name of the file you want to copy
destination_blob_name = "sample.txt"  # The name for the blob in the destination

source_blob_client = source_blob_service_client.get_blob_client(container=source_container_name, blob=source_blob_name)


destination_blob_client = destination_blob_service_client.get_blob_client(container=destination_container_name, blob=destination_blob_name)

with open("temp_blob.txt", "wb") as temp_file:
   temp_file.write(source_blob_client.download_blob().readall())


with open("temp_blob.txt", "rb") as data:
   destination_blob_client.upload_blob(data)

print(f"Blob '{source_blob_name}' copied from '{source_container_name}' to '{destination_container_name}'.")

Output:

Blob 'seed.txt' copied from 'mycontainer' to 'testcontainer'.
