Basic Node.js App with Express

Deployed into an azure container using Azure WebApp package with Gihub Actions

This repo was created to clear how to deploy a single docker container runing a basic Node.js application with Typescript using azure/webapps-deploy@v2

Related with these issues #34451, #62946, #31771, 46401

Another common situations why your app is not running:

1. don't use EXPOSE flag on Dockerfile (apparently Azure use it internally)

2. SET WEBSITES_CONTAINER_START_TIME_LIMIT, increase it to max timeout

3. USE PERSONAL ACCESS TOKEN INSTEAD GITHUB_TOKEN cause github tokens expires.

Following this steps you will be able to deploy your app with a Single dockerfile

Test live example deployed with this code

⚠️ If you try to test the app you need to wait a couple of minutes 'cause this deploy turn off the server on inactivity, just wait for a minute after hit a request and you will got a response.

This works if you came from GithubLab, GitHub Actions: Continuous Delivery with Azure 'cause the starter example with static files didn't work for me,you can make work it with this configuration too.
