I wanted to create the following Azure resources:
- Azure Container Registry
- App Service Plan
- App Service
The App Service would need to support Linux containers.
I have been doing a lot with Bicep, with the following bicep file as my first attempt:
When I ran my script the first time, it wasn’t setup for containers, and I couldn’t figure out why.
Finally, I compared it to an existing App Service that supported containers and noticed I had not provided a value for the linuxFxVersion property in the siteConfig for the App Service.
If this was the first time I was running the script, I would not have a value.
What could I use then?
All I needed to do was set it to DOCKER|nginx.
So for the siteConfig I added linuxFxVersion: 'DOCKER|nginx'.
That did the trick!
Now this begs the question, how would I make this idempotent?
What if a specific container image was deployed?
I will have to explore this further, but I am thinking I will have to pass in a value to the template.
Will keep you posted on how that turns out!
