Running Locally

In this guide, I will explain how to run your Func Runner flavored Azure Function App on your development machine.

Step 1: Copy Local Settings

You will need to copy over the example local.settings.json to your project folder by running the following command:

cp example.local.settings.json local.settings.json

Step 2: Add Your Storage Key

To find your AzureWebJobsStorage connection string use the command below making sure yourresource-group and name values are properly set based on your environment. The name value is the same name you used to name your function app when you read the Deploy Function App guide.

az functionapp config appsettings list --resource-group funcRunnerResourceGroup --name myFuncRunnerApp --query "[?name=='AzureWebJobsStorage'].value" --output tsv

Copy this value to the AzureWebJobsStorage key in your local.settings.json file.

Step 3: Add Your OpenAI API Key

To create an OpenAI API Key, visit the Quickstart tutorial documentation for OpenAI.

Copy your newly created key to the OPENAI_API_KEY key in your local.settings.json file.

Step 4: Run Your Azure Function App Locally
