I installed Strapi with Mongodb locally.
I need to deploy it to Azure.
Strapi is commitet on Azure Git-repository.
I have created a App Service with Ubuntu on Azure.
How to deploy my Strapi to this?
Can I use pipeline?
I can't find any good documentaion/example how to do it. Help!

UPDATE

My results after trying the method described here:
https://github.com/youkou2/Strapi-On-Azure-WebApp
Build pipeline works without any error
Deploy pipeline works without any error
Deployed web site is empty.
I can describe what I have done, may be somebody can help me to find what I did wrong.
a) Build pipeline is
pool:
name: Azure Pipelines
steps:
- bash: |
yarn install
set NODE_ENV=PRODUCTION
yarn build
rm -rf .cache
rm -rf .git
displayName: Build
- task: ArchiveFiles#2
displayName: 'Archive ./'
inputs:
rootFolderOrFile: ./
includeRootFolder: false
- task: PublishBuildArtifacts#1
displayName: 'Publish Artifact: drop'
*** It works ok, no errors ***
b) Deploy pipeline
steps:
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment#4
displayName: 'Deploy Azure App Service'
inputs:
azureSubscription: '$(Parameters.ConnectedServiceName)'
appType: '$(Parameters.WebAppKind)'
WebAppName: '$(Parameters.WebAppName)'
*** It works ok, no errors ***
c) Project is deployed to https://oskogencms.azurewebsites.net/
*** It is empty, why? ***

Answer 1

You can try to use zip deploy, The steps is npm install, create zip package, publish zip package, release zip package. For more information please have a look of this the offcial doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-zip
By the way, it seems deploy strapi to azure web app is not the recommended method.
https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/deployment/azure.html#azure
This is an article on deploying strapi to azure web app, the introduction is more detailed, also using zip deployment:(The only different between you is it is deployed to windows os. If you can use ftp, ftp deploy is also a choice.)
