simpleDockerAppService

Overview:

These sample repo will help you to deploy a simple containerised WebApp to Azure AppService from a Azure Container Registry.

Pre-requisites:

1. You already have an active Azure Subscription
2. You have a Github account and you perform basic operations
3. You have basic understanding of git operations.

Steps:

1. Login to your Github account Fork the repo (containing the simple docker application) to your github account: https://github.com/Bapic/simpleDockerAppService.git

2. Generate a PAT for your github account to use with Cloud Shell https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token. Save it securely.

3. Login to your Azure portal and launch the Cloud Shell

4. Run the below commands to clone the repo locally:

   git config --global user.email "your email"

   git config --global user.name "your github username"

   git clone https://github.com/Bapic/simpleDockerAppService.git

   cd simpleDockerAppService

   git remote show origin or git remote -v. # Ensure your repo is set to use your repo as the origin

   git add .

   git commit -m "Initial commit"

   code index.js # make some change to the text of the response body.

   git push origin master # Once done, check your git hub repo for the changes.

5. Run the below commands (deployment script in the making) to deploy an App service, App service plan and ACR

   REGION_NAME=eastus

   RESOURCE_GROUP=DockerAppServiceRG-$RANDOM

   APP_NAME=simpleDockerAppService$RANDOM

   GITREPO=https://github.com/Bapic/simpleDockerAppService.git

   ACR_NAME=acr$RANDOM

   az group create --location $REGION_NAME --name $RESOURCE_GROUP

   az appservice plan create --name $APP_NAME --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --location $REGION_NAME --is-linux --sku S1

   az webapp create --name $APP_NAME --plan $APP_NAME --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP -i nginx

   az acr create
   --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP
   --location $REGION_NAME
   --name $ACR_NAME
   --sku Standard

6. Navigate to the ACR you created and ensure Admin access is enabled and creds are upated in the "Container settings" of the WebApp. If not please update.

7. Now, manually configure the Deployment Source as Github with Azure DevOps pipelines with continuous deployment.

8. Make changes to the App files txt, push the changes and that should reflect on the site instantly.
