1. create Azure container registry (on portal.azure.com), go to access keys, enable admin. Authentication keys will be generated

2. login to Azure container registry using the generated keys:

   
   docker login [myregistry].azurecr.io --username [username] --password [password]
   
   

3. create image:

   
   docker build . -t [image_name]
   
   

4. create alias with full path to registry (format: path/name:tag):

   
   docker tag [image_name] [myregistry].azurecr.io/[name]:[tag]
   
   

5. push image to Azure container registry:

   
   docker push [myregistry].azurecr.io/[name]:[tag]
   
   

6. create azure app service and specify container source as azure container registry or private registry (using generated auth keys)

7. specify startup command. Should look like:

   
   docker run -p 80:80 [myregistry].azurecr.io/[name]:[tag]
   
   

Notes

• Deployment logs are available in the deployment center tab (under the "logs" tab).
