How to set up the Web Application

Elqano is using an Azure App service in an Azure App service plan to run the web application.

It will rely on Docker containers running via docker-compose on a Linux operating system.

To configure it easily, we are providing a pre-configured template.

By default it will create the Web App service and the Plan with the following properties:

Property	Value
Operating System	Linux
Pricing Tier	Production P2v2
Deploy type	Docker compose with Docker containers stored on Elqano’s registry

Edit the template if you need specific setings.

Run the web app template

To use the template, navigate to the Custom deployment service of Azure and select Build your own template in the editor

Copy the following template in the editor and click on the Save button.

The following form will appear:

Configure the Web App
